Carry Your Umbrella With You Today

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off mild again this morning. Temperatures were mainly in the mid 40s to low 50s. We won't warm up much at all today due to mostly cloudy skies and some rainfall. Highs will likely be in the upper 50s to low 60s. A few light showers are already developing as I write this forecast discussion. The best chance for rain will begin this afternoon as an upper level disturbance is projected to move across the area. Be aware a few isolated thunderstorms are possible today. Breezy conditions are expected too with winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph.

The chance for more rain continues tonight, so be careful if you are going to be out and about this evening. It will be another mild night with lows in the upper 40s to low 50s. Breezy conditions should continue.

Showers and a few thunderstorms are possible during the morning hours tomorrow. The eastern portions of the viewing area have the best chance of seeing the rain. A cold front looks to arrive tomorrow afternoon. This will clear our skies and dry us out for the second half of the weekend and early next week.

As far as total rainfall amounts go from this event, it looks like the eastern Big Country will be the big winner. Totals there according to one model could be over an inch. In the central communities, totals could be half an inch to an inch. It looks like the western counties may only see up to a quarter of an inch at best.

Temperatures for Saturday through Tuesday should be above average for this time of year. Highs will likely be in the 60s with lows in the low to mid 30s.

Have a fantastic Friday!
