Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off mild this morning with temperatures in the 60s across the Big Country. It looks like we will be very hot through the weekend thanks to an upper level high pressure ridge. Highs are expected to be in the upper 90s today through Sunday. Some parts of the Big Country will likely crack the triple digits. With a lot of outdoor activites going on across the area this weekend, you will want to be sure and protect yourself from the heat. Be sure you are drinking plenty of water. Also, take breaks indoors or at least in the shade so you are letting your body cool down. You'll want to wear light-colored clothing as well. Sunscreen and a hat would be a couple of other things you'll likely need.

The high pressure ridge may break down a little next week. We may also get a little moisture return in the area. This means that temperatures will cool down a few degrees into the low to mid 90s. The dry conditions look to last for at least the next seven days.

Have a fantastic Friday!
