More Clouds, Some Showers Today:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* The upper low that brought the rain this past weekend has slowly drifting back eastward into Texas. We saw some showers across the eastern counties yesterday and we can expect the same deal for today, maybe a few more. Expect a mainly cloudy day with breezy conditions at times. Highs in the upper 70s and lows into the lower 60s. An isolated shower still possible tomorrow with mostly cloudy conditions.

* Weekend: Expect partly cloudy conditions with highs in the lower 80s and lows into the lower 60s. The forecast looks dry for now.

* Cool Blast Coming: A very strong cold front will arrive early next week. A few showers or a storm possible Monday and Tuesday. Highs only into the 70s Tuesday and Wednesday with lows well into the 50s! This looks to be our first real good taste of fall-like weather.
