Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off with our coolest morning of the week so far this morning. Temperatures ranged from the upper 30s in Brownwood to around 50 in Sweetwater. Today looks to be very similar to yesterday except it won't be quite as warm. Highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Windy conditions are expected to return by this afternoon with winds from the west at 20 to 30 mph. Higher gusts are likely. Blowing dust and dirt will probably return this afternoon.

Because of the strong winds a Wind Advisory is in effect for everyone except Mitchell, Scurry, and Stonewall counties beginning later this morning and lasting through the evening. The fire danger is high today so every county except for Comanche, Eastland, and Stephens is under a Red Flag Warning for that same time period. Please be careful and follow all the necessary precautions in order to prevent fires.

A cold front looks to move through tonight and bring us a reinforcing shot of cooler air. Highs for tomorrow will only make it into the upper 60s for highs under mostly sunny skies.

The mostly sunny skies and beautiful weather will continue into Sunday. It should be warmer, but still pleasant with highs in the upper 70s.

Partly cloudy skies return for early next week with highs in the low to mid 80s. As of right now, no rain is expected for at least the next seven days.

Have a fantastic Friday!
