Pleasant Weather For Your Weekend

From KRBC Meteorologist Stephanie Malone...

Busy times in the Tropics.

Hanna is now a tropical storm but is nearing hurricane strength, and a tropical storm watch runs up much of the east coast. Maximum winds are at 70 miles per hour and Hanna is expected to produce 3 to 7 inches of rain.

The main storm to keep our eye on right now is Hurricane Ike. Hurricane Ike is a category 3 hurricane that is expected to become a category 4 hurricane before hitting the southern tip of Florida. And the final storm to mention is Tropical Storm Josephine, which is located west of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands. Josephine is moving west northwest at 8 miles per hour and is expected to continue weakening.

Here at home...

We will be seeing a warming trend over the next couple of days. Continuing temperatures in the 90's and lows in the uper 60's through Monday with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. Monday night into Tuesday morning, there will be a mild cool front pushing through the Big Country. This will give us a slight chance of rain Tuesday through Friday and put our highs back down into the upper 80's.

So everyone enjoy the lovely weather for the weekend as you head out to the fair!
