Above Average Temperatures Continue...For Now

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another beautiful day with warm afternoon temperatures. It looks like temperatures will continue to be above average for a little longer. Tuesday should be nice with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 80s across most of the area. Brownwood could reach the low 90s.

An upper level low pressure system continues to sit just off the southern California coastline. It is still expected to move across the Four Corners region and the Texas panhandle by Wednesday. We could see a few isolated showers or thunderstorms on Wednesday and Wednesday night due to this system. Rain chances for now are only slight. There is another slight chance for more isolated showers and thunderstorms with the arrival of a cold front on Thursday. Highs on Wednesday should be in the mid to upper 80s with highs on Thursday in the low to mid 80s.

We should be dry on Friday and Saturday with cooler temperatures. Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 70s.

Tropical Depression 24 turned into Tropical Storm Wilma today. As Jason stated earlier, this is our 21st named storm of the season and does tie the record for most storms in a season which was set in 1933. According to the National Hurricane Center's 5 p.m. EDT (4 p.m. CDT) advisory, Wilma had sustained winds of 50 mph and was moving south at 2 mph. It is projected to strengthen to hurricane status sometime tomorrow. Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect for the Cayman Islands and portions of the Honduras coastline. A Hurricane Watch is also in effect for the Cayman Islands. The latest path projection has the storm moving west then northwest over the next couple of days. According to this projection, it should be near the Yucatan Pennisula by Friday. We'll continue to keep you updated on the latest.

Have a Terrific Tuesday!
