Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

I know I've sounded like a broken record this week, but yet again we are off to a mild and muggy start this morning. Temperatures only dropped down into the low 70s with dewpoints mainly in the mid to upper 60s. The hot and humid conditions will continue this afternoon with highs in the low to mid 90s. A few locations may reach the upper 90s. Breezy conditions are expected with winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph. The dryline looks to move eastward again later today, so the western portions of the viewing area have a slight chance of a late afternoon or evening thunderstorm.

For Saturday and Sunday, the slight chance of a late day isolated thunderstorm spreads across the entire Big Country. Not only will the dryline be a factor, but a couple of upper level disturbances may cause some rain as well. I'm not expecting a total washout so those of you who have any outdoor plans should be okay. Just be careful with the hot and humid conditions. Be sure to follow all the necessary precautions to protect yourself from the heat. Also, since it has been dry, be careful if you're going to be having a barbecue. It has been dry across much of the area for the past three weeks. It might not take much for a fire to get going and get out of hand. Highs will be in the low 90s with breezy conditions.

We should be dry for Memorial Day through Thursday. It looks to be partly cloudy on those days with highs remaining in the low 90s.

Have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful holiday weekend!
