Nice for Football and Saturday, Rain Coming in Sheets on Sunday!
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
Clouds will stick around for the football games tonight but showers are not expected. There could be a couple of sprinkles but that will be about it. No need to bring the umbrellas to the games. Rain could return late in the day on Saturday but rain chances are much higher overnight and into the day on Sunday. Rain will be heavy at times on Sunday and outdoor plans are NOT recommended on Sunday. Saturday though looks pretty good for you to get some things done, like going to a pumpkin patch our any other fall fun things. We could end up with 1-2″ of rain for many of us by Monday morning before the system clears out. Some rumbles of thunder will be possible but severe weather is NOT expected for us with this system. Catch the full forecast including a look at your Halloween forecast coming up here.
THIS WEEK:
Friday was a few degrees cooler than Thursday behind the weak front and under the clouds most of the afternoon. The increase in clouds was due to the stalled out front that will move to the east late in the day on Friday and the approaching storm system to the west that will bring weekend rain our way. Friday football weather looks terrific again but it will be a little cooler than last Friday due to the dry air mass sticking around. Rain is NOT expected Friday night but will look to return by Saturday night. Friday night lows will fall down to around 50°. You might want to grab a hoodie or a jacket tonight but you do not need the umbrellas.
THE WEEKEND:
Southeast winds are forecast to return this weekend as a low pressure system will approach from the southwest increasing the humidity a bit as the weekend goes on. Shower are also expected to return some time late in the day on Saturday or more likely Saturday night into the day on Sunday. If you have weekend plans and want to beat the rain, wrap up what you need to get done before the sunsets on Saturday. Highs on Saturday will hit the mid 70s but highs on Sunday will only reach the mid to upper 60s under the clouds and rain showers.
Saturday night lows will fall to the low to mid 50s and Sunday night lows will fall to the mid to upper 50s. There could be some weak storms mixing in during the day on Sunday but severe weather or strong storms do not appear to be likely with this next storm system. We will be watching things closely though in the 7 Storm Team Weather Center as the week progresses. Saturday will be partly cloudy but Sunday will be a mostly cloudy day. Some rain could linger into Monday morning but should be gone by the middle of the day on Monday.
NEXT WEEK:
After a few morning showers drier weather should return for a bit on Monday afternoon into the day on Tuesday. Highs on Monday will hit around 70° and the clouds will try to break up some as the day goes on. Monday night lows will fall down to the mid 50s to kick off our Tuesday and the winds on Monday will come out of the east.
There is another system on the way early next week but the timing and strength of that system is unknown at this time. As it passes through, the winds will change from the east to the northwest and some cold rain showers will develop around the low pressure system and front as it passes by. It does not appear to be the type of system to bring severe storms with it as of now. Behind the system high temperatures will fall back into the 60s with lows back into the 40s. As of now, there are no imminent signs of a frost coming behind it. A quick look into Halloween shows dry weather as of now with a high around 60° but we are a ways out to confirm that forecast just yet.
