United Way Town Meeting

* United Way will be holding a town meeting to discuss their need for donations tonight on Fox Meridian at 9pm. Be sure to watch, and if you are in a position to help, please do. With all of the needs still around from Hurricane Katrina, the financial burden on our local charities is rather stiff.


* Changes are on the way, and those will begin soon. A front is picking up steam across the Plains, as an area of low pressure forms just east of the Rocky Mountains. In fact, NWS offices in Colorado are calling for upwards of a foot of snow in the Rockies - this is a near perfect snow setup for our friends in Colorado.

* No snow here, but this system will have a big impact on us. The area of low pressure will track along a frontal boundary that will move towards us tomorrow. Moisture will increase through the day, and a shower is possible tomorrow afternoon. However, the vast majority of the rain will hold off until Friday night and Saturday morning.

* Rain and thunderstorms will be a big part of the weekend, especially during the hours before noon Saturday. We'll forecast a decrease in the coverage of rain by late Saturday night into Sunday. We will not stay dry during this period, however, there will still be a few showers around.

* Another wave of low pressure is forecast to track along the front Sunday night into Monday. This will bring an accompanying wave of rain with it - and we cannot rule out a rumble of thunder. However, the threat of severe weather at any point this weekend is very low. The best dynamics will pass well north of here, and instability values will stay too low to support widespread severe weather.

* We're making changes to our website over on www.wtok.com/weather. Be sure to check those out, and if you have anything you'd like to see added, let me know.
