A Pattern Shift Is Coming Soon

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The heat continued here in the Big Country today as highs once again reached the mid 90s to 100. Sizzling temperaturs are expected to stick around through the end of the work week as the upper level high pressure ridge remains in control. This means highs will likely be in the mid to upper 90s.

A shift in the weather pattern looks to arrive this weekend. The ridge will weaken and an upper level low pressure trough should take over. What this means for us is cooler temperatures and a chance at some rainfall. Highs are expected to drop into the low 90s and could be even lower depending on how much rain and cloud cover we see. Our rain chances for now look to be about 20%. That could increase as we get closer to the end of the week.

Our first tropical system of the Atlantic hurricane season, Tropical Storm Alberto, made landfall in the Big Bend area of Florida near Adams Beach at 12:30 p.m. CDT today. This is about 50 miles southeast of Tallahassee. It is expected to continue to move northeast along the Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina coastlines before moving back out into the ocean. These states could see several inches of rainfall during the next 24 hours.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
