Rain Machine Running Out of Water

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner .....

The upper level low, which has accounted for much needed rain since late last week, will slowly exit stage right, but still influence our weather through Tuesday.

Monday, continued mostly cloudy with a few showers still wrapping around the low, bringing spotty rain from the north.

By Tuesday, most of the rain should be to our east, but one or two showers are still possible.

Abilene's official rain total from Sunday, as of 5:30pm, was 1.11. For the month of September, we have now had 3.28. That brings Abilene to 16.00 inches for the year, now slightly over a half-inch behind where she should be this time of year.

I put more rain in the forecast for the upcoming weekend, 30 percent at this time, on both Saturday and Sunday.

Temperatures this week will feature morning lows in the low 60's and afternoon highs in the low 80's most of the week.
