Rain in the Forecast to Begin the Week

from krbc chief meteorologist randy turner ..

WE BEGIN THE NEW WORK WEEK WITH RAIN BACK IN THE FORECAST. A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE BIG COUNTRY TONIGHT. THAT, COMBINED WITH UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES, DROPPING DOWN FROM THE NORTH, PROVIDE A GOOD CHANCE FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT, ENDING TUESDAY.

THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK LOOKS DRY, BUT SOMETHING INTERESTING CAUGHT MY EYE - ANOTHER COLD FRONT, WHICH COULD BE PRETTY STRONG, IS FORECAST TO DROP INTO OUR AREA FRIDAY WHICH BRINGS A CHANCE FOR RAIN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS SIMILAR TO A PATTERN WE SEE IN THE FALL SO IT COULD BE OUR FIRST GLANCE AT COOLING TEMPERATURES.

SUNDAY NIGHT: INCREASING CLOUDINESS WITH A 40% CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. LOW NEAR 74.

MONDAY: MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A 40% CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS, HIGHS NEAR 88. NORTHEAST WIND 10 TO 15.

MONDAY NIGHT: SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS, LOW NEAR 71.

TUESDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY, 20% CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS, HIGH IN THE LOW 90'S.
