Friday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had some showers and thunderstorms develop mainly in the western portions of the viewing area this afternoon and evening. They fired up due to an upper level disturbance that moved into the region. None of the storms were severe, but they did have some brief heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Highs in the Big Country managed to make it into the upper 80s to low 90s despite the rain and cloud cover.

It looks like we will have a 20% to 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms each and every day for the next seven days. The reason for this is due to three things. One, we will have plenty of moisture in place with dewpoints making their way into the 60s. Two, some instability will be provided with afternoon high temperatures reaching the low 90s. Also, the upper level pattern will remain set up so that some disturbances may move across the area this weekend and next week. Most of the rain activity we'll see should be isolated and mainly in the afternoon and evening hours.

Have a super Saturday!
