Good Morning from KRBC Meteoroloigst Chris Whited...* Another cool start this morning across the region with temperatures between the middle 30s and the upper 40s. A Frost Advisory is still in effect for Brown & Coleman County as these area are in the middle 30s. Mostly sunny this morning but becoming partly cloudy as we head into the afternoon with highs in the middle 70s. Not as cold tonight with lows in the upper 40s under partly cloudy conditions. The wind will start to pick up today and tonight.
* The Weekend: Warming trend continues as highs hover in the middle 70s with a few clouds returning by Saturday to give us a mostly sunny day. Saturday night lows are in the middle 50s. Becoming partly cloudy on Sunday with a slight chance of a thunderstorm as a shortwave system works across the area. Highs in the upper 70s and Sunday night lows in the middle 50s
* Next Week: Models are still easing off on the storm chances other than an isolated thunderstorms or two with the dryline in the area. There will be more clouds to start the week and temperatures still in the middle 70s and lows in the middle 50s. I've taken rain chances down to 20% for the area. New data over the weekend could increase the rain chance but it still looks like the main dynamics will stay to our north and we'll just see the normal isolated activity that pops up along the dryline boundary.
