Eyeing Weekend Rain Chances

FROSTY START TO THE DAY

As expected, patchy frost did develop over parts of North Texas this morning.  It did so mainly in areas north & east of the Metroplex, where temperatures fell into the mid to upper 30s.

WORLD SERIES GAME TWO: DRY & COOL

Weather will be much more favorable tonight in St. Louis.  The system that brought drizzle and light rain during Game One has moved east, leaving partly cloudy skies in Missouri.

WORLD SERIES GAME THREE: POSSIBLY WET

Our next weather maker is currently over the Pacific Northwest and will be diving our way by Saturday.  This is a weak disturbance and cold front that will affect us, so we're not expecting a heavy rain event or severe weather event.  Timing is still being pinned down, but it is becoming more likely that rain forms over Oklahoma Saturday afternoon and builds southward into Texas by Saturday night.

The best chance of heavier showers will be overnight Saturday night into Sunday morning...after Game Three is completed.  But there could be some light rain or drizzle developing as early as the first pitch...so we'll need to be prepared for that.  At this time, it does not appear the rain would be heavy enough for a delay.

MORE CHILLY AIR PRIMED TO MOVE IN

The rain Saturday night should end by midday Sunday, leaving us dry for Game Four on Sunday evening.  The first half of next week will be quite warm...highs in the mid to upper 80s...ahead of our next cold front.  This front would appear to be stronger than the one that moved through this week and it should arrive during the day Wednesday.  Look for rain along this front too on Wednesday into Thursday, followed by more cold temperatures.  In fact, we may not get out of the 50s during the day on Thursday!  Here's the 7day forecast.
