Rain Chances Looking Better

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off a little cold here in the Big Country again this morning. Everyone bottomed out somewhere in the mid 20s to mid 30s. A nice afternoon looks to be on tap for all of us today with highs in the low to mid 60s. Winds should remain light from the south then shift to the northwest later today.

A trough in the jetstream has set up to our west. That trough will influence our weather into early this weekend. An upper level low will move northeast across the Texas panhandle and into Kansas tomorrow and Thursday. There is a slight chance of isolated showers, but only in our western communities. A better chance of rain for the entire viewing area arrives on Friday with an upper level disturbance. For now that chance stands at 30%, but it could increase the closer we get to that time period. A few thunderstorms are possible with this system on Friday. A few lingering showers could last into early Saturday.

Overall, temperatures should be above average for the next five days with highs in the low to mid 60s and lows mainly in the low to mid 40s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
