Rain Chance Looks Good This Weekend

From the KRBC Weather Lab and Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

We have an interesting weather pattern setting up for this weekend. From now through Friday we're going to see very gradual changes. The primary weather-maker is an upper level low which is currently in Canada but it starts making its way south today.

Prior to the main low, we'll have some minor disturbances moving our way from the north which bring a slight chance for rain starting Thursday night and continuing into Saturday. By Saturday, we'll start seeing more influence from the main upper low and by Sunday and Monday, it takes up residence in the general vicinity of northern New Mexico, southeastern Colorado and the Texas Panhandle. It will spin disturbances through our area from time to time, leading to a continued chance for rain from Saturday through next Tuesday. At this time, it appears we will have the best chance for rain Sunday and Monday.

Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy to mostly clear, low 70. South wind 5 to 10.

Thursday: Partly cloudy, hot, 98, slight chance for storms late day or Thursday evening.

Thursday Night: 20% chance for storms, partly cloudy, low 73.

Friday: Partly cloudy, high 93, a few storms possible.

Saturday: Increasing likelihood of rain.

Sunday and Monday: Rain likely, cooler, in the 80's.
