Wednesday Evening Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Most of the area was able to benefit from some rainfall today. The western counties saw it early this morning, while the central and eastern counties had some this afternoon and evening. With the decrease in activity over the last few hours, it looks like we'll have a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms for the rest of the night across the entire area.

Tomorrow, that chance for rain increases to 40% due in part to a weak cold front moving into the Big Country from the north. The other part of the lifting mechanism equation is an upper level low near Corpus Christi right now. It will move slowly westward Thursday bringing moisture and causing a few disturbances to move into the area. The thunderstorms we see shouldn't be severe, but will probably contain heavy rain, frequent lightning, and small hail. As always, be careful if there is ponding on the roadways. Mostly cloudy skies are likely tomorrow with highs in the low 80s.

Rain chances come to an end Thursday night and early Friday as drier air moves in and an upper level high pressure ridge begins to build across the region. Highs on Friday should reach the mid 80s with partly cloudy skies.

Hot temperatures and dry conditions look to rule the weekend and early next week. Mostly sunny skies and highs in the low to mid 90s are expected.

Have a terrific Thursday!

Tuesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a noisy night across portions of the Big Country as strong to severe thunderstorms moved through during the overnight hours. These storms moved into Scurry and Mitchell counties before dying out over Taylor and Runnels counties shortly before sunrise. We received 0.72" of rain at Abilene Regional Airport when all was said and done.

Another hot afternoon is on tap for us today with highs expected to reach the low 90s under partly cloudy skies. The dryline should be active yet again this afternoon just to our west. Also, a cold front to our north and northwest will begin its slow southward movement into the Big Country. Both of these boundaries will act as lifting mechanisms for the moisture that remains in place across much of the state. Our chance for rain today is 20%. The storms will likely fire up during the late afternoon and evening hours just as they have for the past couple of days.

By Wednesday and Thursday, the cold front should be pretty close to us and may even be passing through the area during this time. Because of this our chance for rain is a little better on those days. That chance stands at 30% right now. Highs should be cooler due to the extra cloud cover and cooler air. In fact, highs are expected to be around the mid to upper 80s.

A 20% chance of isolated thunderstorms continues into Friday with partly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 80s. Any thunderstorms we see Tuesday through Friday have the potential to reach severe limits with the main threats being large hail and damaging winds. Also, some of these storms will contain heavy rainfall. Everyone needs to be careful when traveling on roadways during these conditions. Ponding can occur and you don't want to try and cross the road when water is covering it. Remember, turn around don't drown.

We dry out and warm up this weekend and early next week. Highs look to be back in the low to mid 90s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Hot Memorial Day

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We're off to a mild and muggy start this morning with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. Another hot afternoon is on tap for us today with highs in the low to mid 90s under partly cloudy skies. There is a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm late this afternoon and evening due to the dryline. These storms shouldn't mess up your outdoor plans much, if at all. It won't be a total washout and most of us will likely remain dry. Just keep your eye on the sky late this afternoon and be careful if you are having any barbecues.

It looks like we can just hit the replay button for tomorrow and that is what Tuesday should be like. Highs are expected to be in the mid 90s with a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm.

A cold front that should stall near the Texas panhandle later today looks to move closer to our area by Wednesday and Thursday. This will help to increase our rain chances to 20% for those days. Highs are expected to be in the low 90s. Any thunderstorms we see over the next four days do have the potential to reach severe limits.

Friday through the weekend should be dry with highs in the low to mid 90s.

Have a nice and magnificent Memorial Day!

Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

I know I've sounded like a broken record this week, but yet again we are off to a mild and muggy start this morning. Temperatures only dropped down into the low 70s with dewpoints mainly in the mid to upper 60s. The hot and humid conditions will continue this afternoon with highs in the low to mid 90s. A few locations may reach the upper 90s. Breezy conditions are expected with winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph. The dryline looks to move eastward again later today, so the western portions of the viewing area have a slight chance of a late afternoon or evening thunderstorm.

For Saturday and Sunday, the slight chance of a late day isolated thunderstorm spreads across the entire Big Country. Not only will the dryline be a factor, but a couple of upper level disturbances may cause some rain as well. I'm not expecting a total washout so those of you who have any outdoor plans should be okay. Just be careful with the hot and humid conditions. Be sure to follow all the necessary precautions to protect yourself from the heat. Also, since it has been dry, be careful if you're going to be having a barbecue. It has been dry across much of the area for the past three weeks. It might not take much for a fire to get going and get out of hand. Highs will be in the low 90s with breezy conditions.

We should be dry for Memorial Day through Thursday. It looks to be partly cloudy on those days with highs remaining in the low 90s.

Have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful holiday weekend!

Thursday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are off to another mild and muggy start this morning with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. Hot temperatures will continue this afternoon with highs in the low to mid 90s. A bit of a breeze can be expected at times with winds from the south at 10 to 15 mph. There is a slight chance of a few isolated showers and thunderstorms in our western communities today. The dryline is the culprit for this rain chance. If a few storms are able to fire along the boundary, they could sneak into the western counties late this afternoon and evening.

Friday looks to be similar to today with highs in the mid 90s. The slight chance for rain will continue for the western portions of the viewing area.

There will be a slight chance for isolated showers and storms across the entire viewing area this weekend due to an upper level disturbance moving through during that time. I'm not expecting a complete washout so if you have any outdoor plans, you should be okay. You might just have to come inside for a little while. Highs will cool down slightly into the low 90s.

For early next week, we can expect partly cloudy skies and highs in the low 90s. Rain chances look to be less than slight right now.

Have a terrific Thursday!

Wednesday, May 24, 2006

Wednesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another mild and muggy start to the day this morning as temperatures ranged from the upper 60s to low 70s with dewpoints in the mid 50s to mid 60s. This afternoon will pretty much be a repeat of yesterday with highs in the low to mid 90s and breezy conditions. The difference today is the slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm. We have a weak cold front to our north that should stay there. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms could develop along that boundary and move into the area late this afternoon and into the evening. Also, with a northwest flow aloft today, any upper level disturbances that are able to move through the area could spark a few showers and storms.

The rest of the work week looks to be hot and humid. It should be partly cloudy with highs in the mid 90s.

Much of the same is also expected for the holiday weekend. Partly cloudy skies are expected with highs in the low 90s. There is a possibility of an isolated shower or thunderstorm. We could see a few upper level disturbances move through the area during that time. For now, I am not completely sold on this solution so I think our rain chances are less than slight. This could change as we get closer to the time period though, so stay tuned.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Tuesday, May 23, 2006

Tuesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are off to another mild and muggy start this morning with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. Hot temperatures are expected once again this afternoon with highs in the low to mid 90s. At least there will be a breeze with winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph. A stray shower or thunderstorm can't be completely ruled out because of the heat and moisture we have in place. The chance for that though is less than slight.

Tomorrow looks to be another hot and humid day with highs in the mid 90s. There is a slight chance of rain due to an upper level disturbance that is expected to move through the area in the afternoon and evening.

Thursday through Sunday look to remain hot and humid with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low 90s. Rain chances are less than slight right now for that time period.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Monday, May 22, 2006

Monday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are starting off mild this morning with temperatures mainly in the upper 60s to low 70s across the Big Country. By this afternoon, it will be hot once again with highs in the low to mid 90s. More moisture has made its way back into our region thanks to south and southeast winds that will continue through much of the week. Today will be a bit breezy at times with winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph.

Tuesday and Wednesday look to be mostly sunny with highs in the mid 90s.

For Thursday through Sunday we will likely see partly cloudy skies and highs in the low to mid 90s.

With more moisture in place this week and the hot temperatures continuing, a stray shower or thunderstorm popping up in our area can't be completely ruled out. As of right now, the chance for rain over the next seven days is less than slight. It is possible that any thunderstorms that develop near Lubbock or Midland during the late afternoon hours could sneak into the viewing area before dying out during the evening. Rain chances could get better as we head through the week. We'll just have to wait and see.

Have a magnificent Monday!

Warm Days!

Weekend update from Pete......

A fun-filled weekend in the Big Country also sees high temperatures with no sign of relief in the short term. Look for our tmperatures to be in the mid to high 90's for next week. We do have a large diurnal temperature range in the evenings with lows predicted around 70. Still hopefull the rain will make its way into Scurry and Kent counties from the caprock. Thanks for checking in with the KRBC First News Family....Have a great weekend.!

Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off mild this morning with temperatures in the 60s across the Big Country. It looks like we will be very hot through the weekend thanks to an upper level high pressure ridge. Highs are expected to be in the upper 90s today through Sunday. Some parts of the Big Country will likely crack the triple digits. With a lot of outdoor activites going on across the area this weekend, you will want to be sure and protect yourself from the heat. Be sure you are drinking plenty of water. Also, take breaks indoors or at least in the shade so you are letting your body cool down. You'll want to wear light-colored clothing as well. Sunscreen and a hat would be a couple of other things you'll likely need.

The high pressure ridge may break down a little next week. We may also get a little moisture return in the area. This means that temperatures will cool down a few degrees into the low to mid 90s. The dry conditions look to last for at least the next seven days.

Have a fantastic Friday!

Thursday, May 18, 2006

Thursday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had another cool start to the day this morning with temperatures dropping down into the 50s across the area. By this afternoon though, it will be hot. Highs are expected to reach the low to mid 90s. Part of the reason for our warmer temperatures is due to our winds coming from the south.

An upper level high pressure ridge will dominate much of the central and western portions of the country through the weekend. What this means for us is very hot conditions. It looks like we will reach the upper 90s for highs on Friday and Saturday. A few locations may reach the triple digits. With these hot conditions returning and lots of outdoor activities going on this weekend, it is a good idea to remember to follow some simple safety tips when it comes to protecting yourself from the heat. Remember to drink plenty of water if you are going to be outside for a long period of time. You'll also want to be sure and take plenty of breaks. Also, you need to wear light colored clothing. Wearing a hat and sunscreen is a good idea too.

We will cool down a little bit early next week thanks to some moisture returning to the area. For now, it will mean partly cloudy skies instead of mostly sunny ones. Highs will still manage to reach the low to mid 90s with the extra clouds.

Have a terrific Thursday!

Wednesday, May 17, 2006

Wednesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had another cool start to the day this morning with temperatures in the upper 40s to mid 50s. It looks like we will have another warm afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Winds should remain on the light side from the northeast.

Thursday through Sunday look mostly sunny, hot and dry. An upper level high pressure ridge will be in control across the central and western portions of the country. Highs during this time period will be in the 90s with lows in the 60s.

Partly cloudy skies return early next week. Despite the extra clouds, highs should still be in the low 90s.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Tuesday, May 16, 2006

Tuesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are starting off on the cool side of things this morning with temperatures in the mid 40s to low 50s. By this afternoon, it will be warm with highs in the low to mid 80s. Winds should be light from the north-northwest at 5 to 10 mph. So, overall it will be another beautiful day. Hopefully you'll be able to get out and enjoy it.

Mostly sunny skies and warm conditions continue tomorrow with high pressure remaining in control. Highs should reach the mid to upper 80s.

The rest of the week looks hot and dry with an upper level high pressure ridge remaining in the central and western portions of the country. For Thursday through Sunday highs will range from the low to mid 90s with lows in the low to mid 60s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Monday, May 15, 2006

Monday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

After a warm weekend, it looks like we will start this week on the cooler side of things thanks to a cold front that moved through on Sunday. Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 70s. There were a few showers that moved through the western and southwestern portions of the area this morning. It looks like only a trace to a few hundreths of an inch fell in those areas that did see rain. Those showers have just about come to an end now. This will probably be the end of our rainfall for a while.

The jet stream set up for this week has a ridge in the western United States and a trough, or dip, in the east. Here in the Lone Star State, we are caught in the middle with a slight edge to the ridge. What this means for us is that we will likely remain dry with a warming trend for the rest of the week. Highs will range from the upper 70s tomorrow to the mid 90s by Sunday.

Have a magnificent Monday!

Warming Up

Update from Pete -

It's getting warmer as we head into the weekend! There is also a slight chance of showers Saturday night and into Sunday morning. It might be wise to take the unbrella to church services. Our winds will kick up somewhat tomorrow with gusts of up to 25 mph from the south. Look for temperatures to climb into the lower 90's across the Big Country on Saturday and lower 80's on Sunday as a cold front moves through the area. Still forecasting cool evenings to this point. Our chances on the rain this weekend hovers at 20% with the possibility of and isolated thunderstorm.

Wednesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Sorry I was unable to give you an update yesterday, but there were a few technical difficulties and I could not give you the latest weather forecast discussion. Anyway, onto today which will be much cooler than yesterday. We reached a high of 95 on Tuesday. Today's highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s. A cold front moved through the Big Country this morning. It didn't bring any rain, but it will feel more comfortable with some drier air in place. Breezy conditions are expected through the afternoon today.

The cooler conditions continue tomorrow with highs in the mid to upper 70s under mostly sunny skies.

Our winds turn to a more southerly direction on Friday which means we will warm things back up. Mostly sunny skies should continue with highs in the mid 80s.

A few upper level disturbances and a weak cold front could cause some showers and thunderstorms for us Saturday and Sunday. Right now, those chances are slight. Highs on those days will range from the mid to upper 80s under partly cloudy skies.

Monday and Tuesday look dry with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low 80s.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Monday, May 08, 2006

Monday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We began slightly mild and muggy this morning. By this afternoon, it will be hot as highs should reach the upper 80s to low 90s. There is a 20% chance of isolated afternoon thunderstorms. With the amount of moisture we have in place combined with the heat of the day, a few thunderstorms will likely fire up along the dryline which is expected to move eastward into our area by the mid to late afternoon hours. Some of this storm activity could linger into the evening, but should die down as we lose the heating of the day. Some of these storms could reach severe limits with the main threats being large hail and damaging winds. We are not expecting today to be anything like last Friday.

Tomorrow should be similar to today with highs in the mid 90s. The 20% chance of some isolated thunderstorms will continue due to the dryline remaining active in the Big Country. Some of these storms could reach severe limits.

A cold front should arrive on Wednesday cooling our highs down into the low 80s. There is a question as to whether or not enough moisture will be in place when the front moves through the area. So, for now, I don't have any rain chances in the forecast, but that could change.

Thursday and Friday look mostly sunny and dry with highs in the low 80s.

Moisture begins to return by this weekend, so there is a slight chance of rain on Sunday with the arrival of an upper level disturbance.

As always, we will keep an eye on the severe weather possibility this afternoon and evening. Keep it tuned to KRBC for the latest weather updates.

Friday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

Strong thunderstorms are likely across the Big Country tonight. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Tornado Watch effective until 10:00p.m. tonight for Stonewall, Haskell, Throckmorton, Scurry, Fisher, Jones, Shackelford, Mitchell, Nolan, Taylor, Callahan, Coke, Runnels, Coleman and Brown counties.

There are too many factors to mention individually that are responsible for our chances for severe weather tonight. Basically an old cold front, upper level energy from the West, boundaries from last night's storms and a dryline are all factors in tonight's severe possibilities.

By Saturday things should calm down a bit.

Partly cloudy skies and slight chances for afternoon thunderstorms will remain in the entire seven day forecast.

Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Severe weather looks like a good possibility again today. Already this morning we have had a thunderstorm reach severe limits with half dollar size hail reported in Sweetwater. There are a few thunderstorms in Coke and Runnels counties as I write this. They should continue to weaken as they move to the northeast.

The break from the showers and storms won't be long since more are expected to develop by the mid to late afternoon hours and last into the evening. Today will pretty much be a repeat of the last couple of days. The rain chance is a little better though at 60%. We are once again under a slight risk for severe weather according to the Storm Predicition Center. Large hail and damaging winds look to be the main threats. A few tornadoes can't be ruled out. Highs should only reach the mid 70s.

We'll probably see some showers and storms linger into tomorrow. Our chance for rain on Saturday is 30%. Skies will be mostly cloudy with highs in the mid 70s.

Sunday should be dry during the day and a little warmer with highs in the upper 70s. By Sunday night and into Monday, an upper level disturbance is expected to bring us a 20% chance of more rain. Highs will climb into the mid 80s to start the new work week.

Tuesday looks to be hot and dry with highs in the low 90s.

We will continue to keep an eye on things here in the weather center today with the severe weather threat continuing. Keep it tuned to KRBC for the latest weather updates.

Thursday, May 04, 2006

Thursday Evening Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 11:00 p.m. tonight for the following counties: Brown, Coke, Coleman, Comanche, Mitchell, Nolan, Runnels and Scurry.

Thunderstorms are firing up this afternoon along boundaries from last night's storms. Daytime heating is aiding in the instability as well. These storms are moving to the East and growing to the Northeast. Storms should continue to be possible through tonight, but should stay confined to the Southern portions of our viewing area. Large hail, damaging winds and frequent lightning are what you can expect in the path of these storms.

Friday a cold front will push through the area and be the focussing point for strong thunderstorms once again. Highs will only climb into the middle 70s.

By Saturday, rain chances come to an end for a short while at least. Highs this weekend will be in the middle to upper 70s.

By Monday and Tuesday of next week we quickly warm back up into the upper 80s to lower 90s. With that much heat the atmosphere will once again be extremely unstable and severe thunderstorms will once again be possible.

Severe Weather Threat Continues

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The showers and thunderstorms that moved through the Big Country during the overnight hours have come to an end. We once again had several severe thunderstorm warnings for nickel and quarter size hail as well as winds exceeding 60 mph. A tornado warning was issued for Scurry county, but there has not been any confirmation yet if there was an actual tornado.

Today we will again see the chance for strong to severe thunderstorms. They are expected to begin by the mid to late afternoon hours and last into the evening. Our chance for rain right now is 50%. Some of the storms today could be severe with large hail and damaging winds being the main threats. A few tornadoes are not out of the question. We are under a slight risk for severe weather according to the Storm Prediction Center. Highs for today should be in the low to mid 80s.

We can expect tomorrow to be a repeat of today, but a little cooler. Highs will likely only make it into the mid 70s. The reason for the decrease in temperatures is due to a cold front that is currently just to our north. It will slide slowly southward later today and hang out to our south tomorrow. That is lifting mechinism number one for our moisture. Storms may also fire along the dryline to our west over the next couple of days. An upper level low to our west in California will send a few weak disturbances in our direction. The other reason for our rain activity is due to the outflow boundaries left over from the previous day's thunderstorms.

A few lingering showers or storms may be around early Saturday. It will be mostly cloudy with highs in the mid 70s.

We begin a warming trend on Sunday that lasts into the middle of next week. There is a slight chance of rain on Monday due to an upper level disturbance possibly rolling into the area.

As always, we will keep an eye on things here in the weather center and let you know if anything severe develops. Keep it tuned to KRBC for the latest weather updates.

Severe Thunderstorms Possible Again Today

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a busy day during the afternoon and evening hours here in the weather center yesterday. We had several severe thunderstorm warnings and some tornado warnings. Hail ranged from penny size to baseball size. Wind speeds were as high as 60 to 70 mph in some locations. There were tornadoes spotted. One was a few miles west of Blackwell, while a couple were seen near Colorado City.

As far as today goes, we are once again of to a mild and somewhat muggy start. It looks like today could be a repeat of yesterday as isolated thunderstorms are expected to fire up again during the mid to late afternoon hours and last into the evening. They will fire up along the dryline and any old outflow boundaries from yesterday's activity. The chance for rain is 30%. Some of these storms could be severe with the main threats being large hail and damaging winds. A few tornadoes are possible as well. The Storm Predicition Center has us under a slight risk today for severe weather. Today will be mostly cloudy with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s.

The slight risk for severe weather continues for Thursday and Friday. The chance for thunderstorms ranges from 30% to 40% with the best chance being on Friday. A cold front should arrive late on Thursday and slowly move through the Big Country on Friday. This front will begin a cooling trend that will last through Saturday.

A few lingering showers or storms are possible early Saturday before things clear out for the rest of the weekend and early next week.

We will keep things watched for you here in the weather center and let you know if anything severe does develop. Keep it tuned to KRBC for the latest severe weather information.

Tuesday, May 02, 2006

Afternoon and Evening Thunderstorms Possible

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are off to a mild, muggy, and breezy start this morning. Showers and thunderstorms continue to our east and northeast, but there is nothing in the Big Country right now. We still have plenty of moisture in place. Isolated thunderstorms are possible late this afternoon and into the evening hours. The chance for rain is 20%. Some of these storms, like the ones we saw last night, could be severe. We'll keep things watched for you here in the weather center and let you know if anything reaches those levels. As far as highs go, we'll likely reach the upper 80s to low 90s. Winds today will be from the south at 10 to 20 mph.

Wednesday and Thursday look to be similar to today. Highs should be in the upper 80s to low 90s with breezy to windy conditions. There is a 20% chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms both of those days. Some of these storms could reach severe limits. The reason for our chance for rain today and through the middle of the week is due to a couple of factors. One, our good friend the dryline is expected to be active during this time period. Two, any thunderstorm activity that is able to develop will leave behind some outflow boundaries. When we get enough heating, typically during the afternoon, thunderstorms usually develop somewhere along them.

By Friday, a cold front is expected to arrive in the area increasing our rain chances to 30%. It should be a little cooler with highs in the low 80s.

A lingering shower or thunderstorm is possible early Saturday. The rest of the day should be good with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid 70s.

Partly cloudy skies continue on Sunday with highs in the low 80s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Monday, May 01, 2006

Monday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK has issued a severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 11:00 p.m. for Brown, Callahan, Coleman, Eastland, Haskell, Jones, Runnels, Shackelford, Stephens, Taylor and Throckmorton counties. A severe thunderstorm watch means that conditions are favorable for strong thunderstorms containing large hail and damaging winds to develop.

A weak cold front will enter the Big Country tonight and that, combined with the hot temperatures is what is causing the chance for thunderstorms. This front will wash out in the Big Country tonight and act as a focussing mechanism for thunderstorms once again tomorrow.

By Thursday, the dryline looks to possibly fire off a few thunderstorms.

Then Friday, another cold front, this one a bit strong, will push into the area and bring thunderstorm chances for Friday and Saturday.

Monday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are off to a mild and breezy start this morning with temperatures in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Breezy conditions will remain throughout the day with winds from the south-southwest at 15 to 20 mph. Hot temperatures are expected with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s.

A little more moisture should be with us tomorrow bringing us partly cloudy skies. There is a slight chance of a few isolated thunderstorms across the area. The best chance of anyone seeing any rain will be in the northern communties. Highs will likely be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

The chance for showers and thunderstorms increases for Wednesday through Friday to 30%. Some of these storms could be severe. In fact, the Storm Prediction Center already has us under a slight risk for Wednesday. Highs should be in the upper 80s on Wednesday before a cold front on late Thursday begins a cooling trend.

Saturday and Sunday look nice with mostly sunny skies and highs ranging from the upper 70s to mid 80s.

Have a magnificent Monday!
