Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had another mild start to the day with temperatures bottoming out in the mid 40s to mid 50s. Mostly cloudy skies are expected today and that will keep temperatuers cooler than yesterday. Highs should make it into the low to mid 60s. Some showers and thunderstorms moved through portions of the area this morning. There is a 20% chance of more isolated showers and thunderstorms through the day and into tonight.

Saturday looks to be pretty similar today. Highs will be in the upper 60s to low 70s thanks in part to winds from the southeast. It may be a little breezy at times. The 20% chance for rain will continue through the day.

A break from the rain is expected for Sunday and Monday despite a cold front moving through the area late on Sunday. Highs will be in the 70s on both days.

Things get a little interesting for Tuesday and Wednesday. It looks like we could see our first round of severe weather this season on those days. The dryline will likely be active during that time. Also, an upper level trough may be moving into the Lone Star state on Wednesday. The chance for these showers and thunderstorms stands at 20% for now. That could increase or even decrease as we get closer to those days. Be prepared for the possible severe weather and we'll continue to keep you updated.

Have a fantastic Friday!
