FIRST ALERT FORECAST: A Stray shower here & there, otherwise decreasing clouds this evening. -Erik Dean

DISCUSSION: Well the good news is, we had some much needed moisture fall across the Coulee Region on Friday, and again today. The bad news, albeit some places seeing at, or around 1″ of rain, it wasn’t enough to put a huge dent in our deficit for the year, and it certainly wasn’t much of a drought buster for the northern portion of the News 8 viewing area. At this point though, we’ll take what we can get. I am not ruling out a rumble of thunder or 2 again this evening. Tomorrow, I am only throwing in a < 10% chance of rain. Otherwise the majority of us will see decreasing clouds in the morning, with plenty of sunshine in the afternoon hours.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST

8-DAY FORECAST

Well, the sun makes a nice cameo tomorrow afternoon. We have to get rid of the pesky cloud cover first. The stretch of nice weather continues for Monday & Tuesday. Our next chance for precipitation is Wednesday – Sunday. To be exact, it’ll be Wednesday Night – early Thursday morning, then on & off on Friday (much like this past Friday) then Saturday Night and early Sunday morning. For the most part, we’ll hang around normal (which is 83°).

Enjoy your Saturday!
