Satellite this morning shows some low and mid level cloudiness

light and variable across the state early this morning. Little in
the way of changing made to the current forecast. Northwest flow

next weekend. The best chances for rainfall will be Monday night
into Tuesday as a cold front dive southeast out of the central
Plains bringing chances for scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms for the northern one half of the state with isolated
showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for the southern half.

For Wednesday through Saturday, dry conditions are in the forecast
before another cold front dives southeast Thursday into Friday
within the northwest flow. The cold front will bring chances for
an isolated shower or thunderstorm and another reinforcing shot of
cooler air to the state into next weekend.

High temperatures through Sunday will be just a couple of degrees
below normal, then average around 5 to 7 degrees below normal with
