Thursday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are starting off with temperatures a little cooler than yesterday. We bottomed out in the mid 30s to low 40s across the Big Country this morning. Once again, there is plenty of cloud cover and some fog too. The fog isn't as dense as yesterday, but everyone should still be careful. Showers have also reappeared this morning. They are mainly south of Interstate 20 and will only drop a few hundreths of an inch as they move east across the area.

The chance for rain will continue throughout the day, so keep the rain gear close by. Highs will only make it into the low to mid 50s due to the cloud cover and rain. Tonight the showers will likely become more isolated. Lows should be in the low 40s.

Mostly cloudy skies and the chance for rain will rule the day again tomorrow. It's possible that we may see a few thunderstorms as well. Right now, our rain chance for Friday is 40%. Highs should be similar to today.

Our pattern begins to change this weekend. Our rain chances will come to an end and we start warming up. Skies should become partly cloudy. Highs will likely make it into the low to mid 60s which is average for this time of year.

Looking into the first half of next week, we'll have temperatures returning to well above average levels. Highs should be in the 70s. A few locations may reach 80 by Wednesday.

Have a terrific Thursday!
