Chance For Rain Is Looking Better

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector....

We started off chilly again this morning with temperatures in the 30s. It looks like another mild afternoon is on tap for us with highs in the mid to upper 60s. Winds could be breezy at times from the south at 5 to 15 mph.

Tonight is when changes will begin for us. A cold front is expected to arrive late tonight and into tomorrow morning. An upper level low to our west in Mexico is helping to spread some moisture in our direction. It looks like we will have enough built into the area by the time the front arrives that some showers and even a few thunderstorms are possible tonight and Friday. The best chances are still in the southeastern portions of the Big Country. Right now, I'm going with a 20% chance tonight beginning around midnight and a 30% chance tomorrow. This front is bringing some arctic air with it, so temperatures look to be below average through the weekend. Windy conditions are expected tomorrow with winds from the north at 15 to 25 mph, so it will definitely feel colder than the low 50s we should see for highs on Friday.

Skies clear out for Saturday and Sunday. Both mornings will likely be cold with lows in the low to mid 20s. Highs on Saturday look to reach the mid to upper 40s, while Sunday should be a little warmer in the mid 5os.

Have a terrific Thursday!
