Wind Woes / Rain Hopes

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

The gusty wind isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. We'll experience gusty wind for the next week or so as systems approach and pass through our area.

We are entering a more progressive weather pattern allow rain to enter the forecast. On Friday and Saturday, gusty south wind helps return Gulf moisture to the area. By late Sunday, as a vigorous upper level storm moves our way, a squall line of thunderstorms is expected to develop and move through our area. This will most likely occur Sunday night into early Monday morning. A few of the storms could become severe.

Another upper level storm may provide a chance for thunderstorms Tuesday night or Wednesday, as it follows the first storm.

Friday and Saturday: Very windy. Morning low clouds, then mostly sunny skies. Highs 71-75 both days. South wind 20 to 30 with higher gusts. Overnight lows in the low 50's.

Sunday: Mostly cloudy, continued windy, high 68 with a 20% chance for late day storms.

Sunday Night: Thunderstorms likely, some severe. Low near 52.

Monday: Morning thunderstorms, then partly cloudy and windy. High 68.

Tuesday: Partly cloudy and windy, high 70 with a cold front approaching late.
