From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

Some light rain and drizzle has fallen and continues to fall across the Big Country this afternoon. This is all in association with an upper level low to our North and the sub-tropical jet stream bring mid-level moisture in from the Pacific.

The rain will end tonight from West to East across the area and we will see clearing skies as well. Overnight lows tonight will run from the lower to middle 40s.

Sunny skies will dominate Wednesday and Thursday, then we will begin to see clouds and rain chances return Friday.

Friday night through Saturday night could be tricky across the area. With colder air seeping in from the North, and moisture overriding this air from the South and West, we could be setting up for some winter precipitation this weekend. I will definately recomend you stay tuned, as the closer we get to the weekend, the better idea we will have as to the precipitation type we should expect.

Next week, we will be watching a fairly decent amount of Arctic air moving into the US. Depend on where this air ends up, we could also be setting ourselves up for a winter precipitation event next week. Again, we still have a long way to go between now and then, so stay tuned.
