Below Average Temperatures Ahead

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We got some nice rainfall across much of the Big Country this morning. It formed along an outflow boundary left from the storms that mostly died out in the panhandle region. Due to the clouds and rainfall, most of the Big Country stayed in the 80s for highs. There were a few spots like Sweetwater and Brownwood that managed to make it into the 90s due some breaks in the clouds.

Several boundaries from earlier thunderstorm activity remain across the state. We still have plenty of moisture in place, so it won't take much to get a shower or thunderstorm going. For tonight and tomorrow, our rain chance looks to be about 20%. Lows tonight should reach the mid to upper 60s. Skies should clear a little tomorrow, but it will still be partly cloudy so highs are expected to make it into the low 90s.

A stray shower or storm can't be ruled out on Sunday, but our chance looks to be less than slight. Partly cloudy skies should still be around with highs remaining in the low 90s.

Cooler and drier air is expected to filter in early next week. This means mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 80s for Monday through Wednesday.

With an upper level high pressure ridge looking to build in towards the end of the next work week, we can expect highs to return to the low 90s by Friday.

Have a super Saturday!
