Thoughts on the Next Two Cold Fronts

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....

Updated at 4:30pm Friday, October 23rd ....

Analyzing the next seven days worth of weather, we will have two cold fronts that will impact our region and bring a chance for rain.

The first front arrives late Sunday night or early Monday morning. I expect rain to develop along and behind the front but amounts shouldn't be too great in our area. The farther east and south of here, heavier amounts. Given the timing of the first front, we will be able to get our weekend activities in with dry weather, then watch the clouds increasing Sunday afternoon, then bring in the rain Sunday night.

Temperatures Monday are going to be chilly, close to 60.

Temperatures warm up Tuesday and Wednesday prior to another, and stronger, cold front on Thursday.

As of now, this looks to be the coldest air we've seen this season. I've forecast a high of 53 on Thursday and a low that night of 35.

The big question is moisture. This looks to be a fast moving system so amounts look light at this point, so I'm holding with a slight 20 percent chance of rain Thursday.

The good news is the system is fast moving, out of here by Friday and temperatures start a slow climb but it will be very chilly for your Halloween night trick or treating.

Bottom line - good weekend, colder and wet for Monday, warm Tuesday and Wednesday, coldest air of the season Thursday with a little rain. Will need to monitor the weather next Thursday as these cold systems are tricky and I need to leave a little wiggle room to adjust the forecast as we get closer ....

Have a great weekend everybody !!
