Tuesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off mild again this morning with temperatures in the 50s across the Big Country. There were a few showers in Brown, Coleman, and Comanche counties, but most of that probably didn't make it to the ground. We are still a bit too dry here at the surface. The bulk of the rainfall remains to our southeast where more moisture is in place.

Mostly cloudy skies will once again inhibit our temperatures from rising too much today. Highs are expected to be in the upper 60s to low 70s. Winds shouldn't be too bad out of the east-northeast at 5 to 15 mph. The chance for rain will continue. That chance is 20% for a few isolated showers and thunderstorms through the afternoon.

Our best chance for rain right now looks to be tonight. The cold front that passed through our area yesterday and stalled to our south will be lifting back to the north as a warm front. An upper level disturbance is also expected to roll through the Big Country tonight. With these lifting mechanisms in place and more moisture back in the area, our chance for rain is 60%.

Wednesday and Thursday could get a little wet too. An upper level low is expected to arrive during this time period and help push the dryline through west central Texas. This means we could see some severe thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday. Our chance for rain on these days ranges from 30% to 40%. Highs should be in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Friday looks to be nice with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s.

Another disturbance could roll into the area Saturday and Sunday so there is a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms on those days. Highs look to be in the low 80s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
