A Look Into Next Week

A system is bringing rain showers tonight to the Stateline, but much of that activity is already over. That will give way to a mostly dry Saturday other than some morning showers, followed by a nice and sunny Sunday and Monday. Temperatures will be cooler through the weekend and into next week ahead of our next significant system that will move into the Stateline Tuesday and Wednesday. Previously, the forecast models were having a difficult time determining when this system would move in, but now they are beginning to align a little more. Therefore, we are more confident that the rain will fall on Tuesday and Wednesday as opposed to a possibly 3-day stretch.

This system will include remnants from the current major Hurricane Patricia that is making landfall along the Mexican Coast. Those remnants will move into Gulf of Mexico and then move back inland around the Louisiana-Texas border. After that, the system will move back northward towards the Stateline and fuse with a system over the Plains. This will bring a cold front and low pressure system through the region on Tuesday into Wednesday, and could give us a decent soaking.

That system and its cold front will swing through Wednesday afternoon/evening, bringing an end to the rainfall. But there will be a change in temperatures following the passage of that frontal boundary. Thursday will only be in the upper 40's with lows Thursday night falling into the middle 30's.

At this time, Halloween looks chilly in the lower 50's with rain possible by the time Trick or Treating comes around. We will continue to fine tune that forecast as Halloween approaches.
