Dreary Start to the Weekend

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

We have seen a very mild Thursday night with temperatures dropping to the low 50's. An almost twenty degree warm up compared to 24 hrs ago. Clouds have begun to stream in and should hang tight through the beginning of the weekend. This is thanks to an upper level low that is still spinning off the Baja peninsula but should begin its trek northeast today. This system could swing disturbances through mainly beginning late this evening. Along with the low a cold front to our North situated around the red river could spark a few showers. Temperatures through the day will hit the upper 60's and lows will stay in the upper 50's.

The upper level low and an associated cold front will move closer to us through the weekend. The best chance of rain should come from Friday night through Saturday. Along with the rain Saturday’s winds will be gusting up to 25-30mph.

A slight chance will remain Sunday but as the cold front makes its way through it help eliminate any rain chances by drying us back out. Saturday may be a good day to decorate the tree with Sunday being the day to put the lights on the house!

The beginning of the week will be cooler with highs in the low 60's and lows in the 30's. By Tuesday we should return to the 70's with lows in the 40's.

Have a great day!
