Have The Rain Gear Ready

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another hot day here in the Big Country as highs once again reached well into the 90s. Brownwood hit the triple digits for the second straight day. The good news is that the hot weather will be coming to an end tonight.

A cold front will move through the area and bring temperatures back down closer to average for this time of year. Be aware, it will become windy for a little while as the front passes us by. Tomorrow we will be about 20 to 25 degrees cooler with highs in the low to mid 70s under partly cloudy skies. Mostly cloudy skies will dominate Thursday through next Tuesday keeping temperatures in the upper 70s to mid 80s.

Rain chances begin late tomorrow and last through early next week. The cold front that will pass through the area tonight will stall to our south for a couple of days. This weekend it will lift back to the north as a warm front. Periodic upper level disturbances are projected to move across the Big Country over the next seven days as well. All of these factors will play a role in bringing us the possiblity of showers and thunderstorms. Right now, there is a slight chance for rain late tomorrow. That chance increases to 40% for Thursday and Friday before decreasing to 20% to 30% for Saturday through Tuesday. Some of these storms could be severe with the main threats being large hail and damaging winds. We'll keep an eye on things for you and let you know if anything becomes rough.

Have a terrific Tuesday evening and a wonderful Wednesday!
