Rain Chances & Cooler Weather This Weekend:


Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited....

* Pattern change here for the weekend. Temperatures will drop back into the lower
90s this weekend with overnight lows in the lower 70s. As the ridge has slipped westward slips westward, the clockwise flow around the high will bring a northerly to northwesterly flow across the area. This pattern brings a weak cold front into the area tonight and early Saturday.

* Rain: The front will help enhance rain chances for the area. Also, a moisture axis that is to our east will shift westward with the high shifting west and with that axis over Texas, storms will develop in the afternoons. The models are also indicating that complexes of storms will develop over the high plains and drift into the area during the overnight hours. Overall message here is much needed rain chances for teh area through the middle of next week.
