DISTURBANCES: The next two days (today and Saturday) will be partly to mostly sunny with temperatures in the 60s, with no chance of rain. However a disturbance will move in late Saturday into early on Sunday that will bring some threat of a shower. Rainfall will be around a tenth or so from this system. Another disturbance, a bit more powerful moves in Monday with showers and possibly a clap or two of thunder. Rainfall from this system will range around a quarter to half inch or so. Temperatures will take a tumble after this second storm with readings dropping into the lower to middle 50s for highs on Wednesday next week with lows possibly in the upper 20s in the cooler locales Wednesday morning.

MORE ACTIVITY: The weather pattern looks to be more active with several shots of showers over the next two weeks, but there doesn’t look to be the first real push of cold air that brings a hard freeze to the entire state or the first flakes of snow. One comes through around the 25th with some rain chances and another looks to be coming around Halloween (which is just past the forecast period). Of course this far out, things will likely change.

NOTE: There is no Weekend Football Forecast This Week Due to Travel. There will be a College Football Forecast Insert in tomorrow’s video.
