Shift in the Pattern Coming Soon

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....

Hang in there a couple more days and then a pattern shift means some cooler temperatures and a chance for showers.

The oppressive high pressure ridge over us now is forecast to gradually slide to the west and be centered in New Mexico by Friday. This allows some frontal systems and upper level disturbances to drop in from the north. Bottom line is temperatures should be a little cooler with the high not directly over us and showers and storms which develop to the north of our area can slide southward through our area Saturday through Tuesday of next week.

Until the weekend though, it is still going to be hot and dry.

Tuesday Night: Clear and 76. South wind 5 to 15.
Wednesday: Sunny and hot, near 102. Southeast wind 10 to 15.
Wednesday Night: Clear and warm, near 76.
Thursday: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy, high near 100.
Friday: Partly cloudy, high near 98.
Saturday: Partly cloudy, 20 percent chance for thunderstorms, high near 94.
Sunday: Partly cloudy, 30 percent chance for thunderstorms, high near 90.
