Chance of Rain This Weekend

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We saw high temperatures this afternoon in the upper 80s to mid 90s which is at and just above average for this time of year. Showers and thunderstorms have developed to our west and north this afternoon. Some of the storms have been strong to severe. It is possible for some of this activity to make its way into our area later tonight. The best shot for rain in the viewing area will be in the western and northern portions. The showers and storms should be weaker when and if they get here later tonight due to a loss of daytime heating. The atmosphere should be a little more stable in our area.

We will have a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms this weekend due to a cold front that will stall north of us on Saturday and then drift into at least part of the area on Sunday. Some of the moisture this front is feeding off of is the remnants of Hurricane Henriette. Highs look to be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

A stronger cold front should move through the area Monday night into Tuesday morning. This front is expected to have significantly colder and drier air behind it. Our chance for rain is 30% on Monday and then increases to 40% Monday night and Tuesday due to the front being in the area. Highs for the first day of the work week will be in the upper 80s, but will fall to the upper 70 for Tuesday.

Dry conditions are expected for Wednesday through next Friday with highs in the low to mid 80s.

Have a super Saturday!
