Thursday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

After setting a new record high of 95 yesterday, today will be much cooler. A cold front moved through the Big Country late last night and will bring our highs for today down into the upper 60s to low 70s. Breezy conditions are expected with winds from the northeast at 10 to 20 mph. We also have a 20% chance of some isolated showers, really more like sprinkles, through the day.

We could see more rain tonight through Saturday due to a couple of reasons. First, the cold front that passed us by will end up stalling south of the area near Interstate 10. Second, the subtropical jetstream will be in place near our area. Not only will it provide us some moisture, but a couple of upper level disturbances are expected to move along it and near the Big Country. These are the lifting mechanisms we will need to lift the moisture that should be in place. Right now, there is a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs during this time period will be in the 60s.

It's possible that we could see more rain on Sunday, before a break from it on Monday. An upper level low may move into the area Tuesday or Wednesday. This could bring rain back into the picture for the middle portions of next week. For now, that rain chance is only slight. We'll just have to wait and see.

Have a terrific Thursday!
