Wet Weekend Ahead!

Good morning from your Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly….

After an overcast morning to sunny afternoon we still reached temperatures into the 60's during the day even after the cold front passed, an almost 20 degree drop from highs the day before. The front was very distinctive and you could see the rolling clouds as it passed over. Overnight temperatures were the coldest we have seen this season mostly reaching into the 40's, a bit of a chill when you walk outside.

Temperatures going to warm up nicely today mainly reaching into the lower 70's across the big country. We will have partly cloudy skies and light winds. It will be a perfect night to get out and watch your favorite football team! We may see a shower or two after midnight with temperatures reaching from upper 50's to lower 60's.

This weekend you may want to pull out that best seller novel because it is not looking like a great one for your outdoor activities. It is going to be a rainy one, with lots of tropical moisture from the gulf and the pacific, a low pressure system and a few disturbances rain chances are around 50 % through out the whole weekend. Rain could be heavy at times, even causing flooding so please be careful if you will be out driving. Sunday looks like the best chance for thunderstorms. Temperatures will stick in the 70's for highs and 60's for lows not much of a temperature change between day and night because of the cloud cover we will have.

We will continue the rain chances through the beginning of the week with our next front pushing through wednesday. Temperatures will stick around lower 80's for highs and around 60 for lows. Chances will be slightly less tuesday night into wednesday until we can accurately see how much moisture we will have available but for right now looks like we should see some more fall like temperatures towards end of next week along with a cloudy, rainy one.

Enjoy the weekend even if it may be a soggy one!
