Much needed rain fell yesterday, and we stand a good chance at picking up additional rain today as a cold front remains located to our north near the I-40 corridor. The front outraced its main upper air support, which has caused the front to slow to a halt. As a result, the front will remain to our north for much of the day and will result in another round of showers and thunderstorms beginning later this morning and lasting into the afternoon. Skies will be cloudy for much of the morning, but a few breaks in the clouds after lunch will result in mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures should top out near 84 this afternoon. The upper air trough to our north will deepen by tonight, and this will finally push the cold front through the area after midnight. Drier and cooler air will filter in behind the front, and in fact, temperatures tomorrow morning will be near 65.
The weekend weather looks wonderful and will provide a sneak preview of fall during the mornings. There will likely be a few afternoon cumulus clouds tomorrow and Sunday. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s tomorrow and mid 80s on Sunday, and lows will be near 60 Saturday morning and in the upper 50s Monday morning.
