Wonderful Rain!

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

What a beautiful, gloomy, dreary, rainy day! Triple Doppler radar shows that just about everyone has seen at least a little bit of rain. A swath of half an inch to just under two inches of rain extends from Southern Mitchell County, through Nolan and Taylor Counties and into Southern Jones and Shackelford Counties.

Triple Doppler also shows rainfall totals on the order of about half an inch or more through Southern Runnels County, through the majority of Colemand and Brown Counties and into Souther Eastland County.

Through the overnight hours tonight there will be another chance of showers as the main upper-level disturbance that has brought us this rain will pass over us. Rain chances will end by Saturday afternoon with skies beginning to clear by Saturday night.

High temperatures will be a little cooler this weekend than what I mentioned yesterday. Saturday should top out in the upper 50s and Sunday should top out in the lower 60s.

A big warm-up is in store for us next week with highs climbing back into the upper 70s and lower 80s by Tuesday.

Another cold front passes through the area by Thursday and, the best part of all, it looks like rain chances will return to the forecast by that time.
