Dry Through Friday - Isolated Storms This Weekend

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....

Not many changes to the forecast, except to slightly increase cloud cover and the chance for rain this weekend.

We have two interesting weather features to watch. The upper low spinning over Florida and eventually moving west into the Gulf of Mexico AND THEN some monsoonal Pacific moisture streaming into the southwestern U.S. This Pacific moisture will help increase the clouds around here by Friday and those clouds will linger through Monday. With a few minor disturbances associated with the Pacific clouds, a few showers or storms are possible main Abilene westward into West Texas but can't rule out a hit and miss shower or storm just about anywhere over the area.

Temperatures should remain in the low to middle 80's the next couple of days but closer to 80, due to more cloud cover, this weekend.

It doesn't look like a washout by any stretch, indeed many areas will stay dry, but just be prepared for a rain delay here and there this weekend.
