Forecast Discussion:

Rain chances return for Saturday as an area of low pressure moving through the gulf nears our coast.  According to the VIPIR model, most of the rainfall is confined to the morning hours and ending by the afternoon.  This also has the low staying farther to our south.  But if the low tracks closer to our coast shower chances could be much higher.  Either way, Saturday is going to be cloudy, cold, and rainy at times.  A much improved forecast for Sunday as the low is well to our east and northwesterly winds bringing in drier air.  Another cold front moves through Tuesday of next week with slim rain chances and a second surge of colder air for Thanksgiving.
