Justin Liles: Not a lot of rain this week

[anvplayer video=”5187812″ station=”998130″]

A cold front will continue to slide through the region this evening. Some heavier rainfall is likely in places it does rain but expect the front to lose energy as it moves to the east. Unfortunately, this is not going to help out with our drought. Tonight, there is a chance for some widespread haze, along with patchy fog. High pressure will start us out Monday keeping us warm and dry.

There will be a chance for some rain to return late Tuesday as another round of rain tickles the international border. On and off chances of rain will continue through the week. Temperatures look to cool down by the middle of the week and last through the weekend. Winds may pick up toward the end of the week as well as stronger chances of larger storm development by Saturday and Sunday. As this point, many Northlanders are saying any rain is good rain.
