Rain this Weekend


Friday will be our quiet day, although it will be a cloudy one.  High pressure will build across the area Friday afternoon and then quickly move off to the east ahead of our next storm system.  As the low moves across the Plains, moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will begin to stream into the Midwest.  Clouds will start the day on Saturday and rain will move in west to east during the afternoon hours.  There could be a few light showers during the morning hours, but the bulk of it will come during the afternoon as the cold front nears.  Rainfall totals could range anywhere between a quarter of an inch to three quarters inch with some of the heaviest rain.  There may be a few left over showers Sunday morning - but a dry slot in the upper levels of the atmosphere could dry us out Sunday afternoon.  Once the northwest winds begin, temperatures will fall slowly throughout the afternoon and snow showers will be likely Sunday evening and into Monday.  With persistant northwest flow through next week - we'll keep the mainly cloudy skies and snow flurry chances until midweek. - CK
