Key Points – Friday, October 6, 2017:
Synopsis: Good Friday morning! Another day of rain today I-70 north (at times heavy), and plenty of it, as a stationary front continues to stall out across the midwest. As we go through the afternoon into the evening tomorrow we need watch things very closely as storms, some potentially being strong to severe, move east out ahead of the cold front. Generally 0.5-1″ will be possible but localized pockets of 2-3″ are not out of the question through Sunday morning. Most of Sunday we are expecting dry conditions, we continue to be suspect of Tropical Storm (soon to be Hurricane) Nate rainfall impacts especially across the eastern half of the state into Monday. In the video we break down the next 4 week temperature and precipitation long-range outlooks as well. If you have any questions please let us know, have a blessed weekend! -Kirk
