Wednesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off warmer this morning than yesterday morning with temperatures mainly in the low to mid 60s. Cloud cover and breezy conditions kept us from cooling off too much during the overnight hours. Another warm afternoon is on tap for us today with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Breezy conditions will continue with winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph. A few showers and thunderstorms could fire up along the dryline late this afternoon, but our chance for rain is slight at best.

A cold front looks to push through the Big Country tomorrow. Skies will start off mostly cloudy in the morning before becoming mostly sunny by late afternoon. There is a slight chance of a few isolated showers and thunderstorms. Highs should reach the low to mid 80s. The windy conditions will be the main story. Winds are expected to be from the west at 20 to 30 mph. A Wind Advisory is already in effect for Scurry and Mitchell counties on Thursday. A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for most of the area for tomorrow afternoon, so the fire danger looks to be high.

Friday through Sunday continue to look nice with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 70s to about 80.

Partly cloudy skies return for Monday and Tuesday with highs in the low to mid 80s.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
