Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Mild temperatures ruled the area once again this morining. We started out in the mid 50s to low 60s. A warm afternoon is on tap for us today with highs in the low to mid 80s. It shouldn't be as windy as yesterday with winds from the southwest at 5 to 15 mph. There is a 20% chance of isolated thunderstorms this afternoon thanks to the dryline which will move through the Big Country. Some of these storms could continue into tonight.

Warm temperatures and the 20% chance for isolated thunderstorms continues tomorrow. We probably won't see anything fire up until the afternoon hours. The reason for the rain is the dryline as well as the possiblility of an upper level disturbance moving into the region. With better upper level dynamics tomorrow and tomorrow night, some of these storms could become severe. The main threats will be large hail and damaging winds. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out.

Sunday should see highs in the mid 80s and a 20% chance of more isolated thunderstorms. The dryline will be the lifting mechanism that causes the rain.

We should see a break from the rain chances on Monday with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low 80s.

The dryline looks to become active yet again Tuesday through Thursday, so for now there is a slight chance of rain on those days. Temperatures will remain warm in the low 80s.

As always, we will continue to keep things watched for you today and throughout the weekend for any severe thunderstorms that may move through the viewing area.

Have a fantastic Friday!
