ABC-7 First Alert: Mild today, cold front brings cooler temps, wind, and weekend rain/snow

Good Morning! Happy Friday. If you need to finish your Christmas shopping today is a great day to do so. A cold front arrives this weekend bringing a chance for light rain and snow ( if it gets cold enough).

The best chance for light rain and snow will be in far east El Paso County and Hudspeth County. The latest models show that east El Paso will start seeing light rain and snow overnight Saturday into Sunday morning.

Temperatures will cool to the 50s on Saturday and Sunday and the winds will increase Saturday morning as the cold front moves into the area. Those of you that live on the west side of town will experience the strongest winds gusts.

The system moves out late Sunday into Monday setting the stage for a warming trend and calm weather.
