Nice Today, Rain Returns This Weekend:




Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* A cool start this morning with upper 40s and lower 50s. A pleasant day ahead with adundant sunshine and cooler afternoon high in the upper 70s. Clouds will increase by tonight with rain chances returning Saturday and into next week. The remains of a tropical system that moved across Mexico will lift northeastward into West Texas. This will increase the rain chance for the area. Also a pretty decent trough will dig across the west and will keep a few upper level disturbances moving across our area. Locally heavy rainfall could be possible at times and some isolated flash flooding could be possible. Highs this weekend in the 70s and lower 80 with lows in the 60s. Stay tuned to KRBC as we track this system.
