Cold Into Friday

FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
THE TEMPERATURE WAS OFFICIALLY 78 DEGREES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THE TEMPERATURE TO FALL INTO THE 40'S AFTER THE PASSAGE OF AN ARCTIC FRONT. WIND CHILLS WERE IN THE LOW 30'S.

WE HAVE SOME UPPER LEVEL ENERGY COMING IN FROM THE WEST, NOT A DIRECT HIT FROM THE UPPER LOW, BUT ENOUGH TO PROVIDE SOME INSTABILITY. WE HAVE THE COLD AIR AT THE SURFACE AND WARM SOUTH WIND ONE MILE ABOVE THE GROUND. THE WARM OVER THE COLD ALONG WITH THE INSTABILITY LEADS TO OUR RAIN CHANCE .. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED T-STORMS .. TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THE RAIN CHANCE SHOULD BE GONE BY THURSDAY NIGHT.

THOSE WATCHING KRBC FROM THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY COULD SEE SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING. KNOX COUNTY IS UNDER A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY BECAUSE OF IT.

HIGHS THURSDAY MIDDLE 40'S. BY FRIDAY THE MIDDLE 50'S. SATURDAY THE UPPER 60'S. SUNDAY AND MONDAY THE LOW TO MID 70'S AGAIN. THE NEXT FRONT TO COOL US DOWN AGAIN ARRIVES ABOUT NEXT MONDAY NIGHT.

HOPE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO WATCH THE TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE WEDNESDAY NIGHT, IT WAS COOL.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

RANDY
