Don't Put The Umbrella Up Just Yet...

Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi here...

What a wonderfall Fall afternoon across the Big Country Tuesday. After dealing with a few remaining showers and fog in the morning, Mother Nature gave us a wonderful afternoon. Don't get used to it though.

Another upper level low pressure system is working its way toward us as we speak. There are a few question marks with this system though.

Here is what is certain, this system will send disturbances over us starting Wednesday night. This will give us rain chances starting Wednesday night into Thursday. Expect a batch of showers and thunderstorm to push through the Big Country during the overnight hours.

After that, the big question is will this system continue moving and leave us with dry weather behind it, or will it hang around New Mexico for a couple of days? My current thinking is that the system will keep moving and we will see dry weather starting Thursday afternoon and continuing into the weekend.

If the system gets cut-off from the upper level flow, we would see rain chances extend into Friday. For right now though, we'll have to wait and see.

Wednesday afternoon looks very pleasant with light winds and afternoon highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s.

A little tropical trivia for you... This morning, Tropical Storm Vince made landfall in Spain. Vince is the first tropical cyclone to ever make landfall in Spain. Vince formed in the Northern Atlantic in waters usually too cool to support a tropical cyclone. None the less, Vince will has become another page in the historic 2005 Atlantic hurricane season.
