Rain Chances Looking A Little Better

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The first day of summer was a nice one across the Big Country. It was a little hot and muggy, but with highs in the low 90s we were close to average this time of year.

You'll want to keep the rain gear ready over the next week as we have a chance each and every day. Tonight and tomorrow that chance is slight and mainly for the south and southeastern portions of the viewing area. This is due to the slow moving low pressure system that started in Houston earlier this week and is now near Corpus Christi. It will continue moving west, but could send an isolated shower or thunderstorm toward Brownwood or Comanche. Our rain chances pick up for the entire area Friday through next Wednesday due to the pattern that is setting up. We should be in a northerly flow aloft and some upper level disturbances are expected to move into the area during that time. Right now, we have a 30% chance on Friday and Saturday. Sunday and Monday look to have a slight chance. Tuesday holds a little bit better chance at 20%. Wednesday we should be back down to slight.

Temperatures for the next week are expected to be pretty close to average for this time of year. Highs will likely be in the upper 80s to low 90s with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
