Showers and Thunderstorms....Hurricane Beta Strengthens

From meteorologist Jason Myers......

Showers and thunderstorms have developed across the Big Country giving Haskell and Throckmorton counties rainfall amounts near a third of an inch. Storms are moving to the east-northeast at 35-40 mph and should come to an end by midnight. Clouds will stay with us overnight...yet we should see the sun at times on Sunday, giving us partly cloudy skies.

Hurricane Beta is now a category 2 hurricane with winds at 105 mph gusting up to 125 mph. Hurricane Beta's movement is to the west at 5 mph, and could become a category three hurricane before making landfall on Sunday in Nicaragua. Hurricane Beta would become a category three hurricane if sustained winds reach 111 mph; a hurricane is considered a major hurricane once it becomes a category three.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
