Rain Chances Still Looking Good

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Some parts of the viewing area were lucky enough to see some rainfall today. The first batch moved through the north and northeastern portions early this afternoon before dying out. The second batch rolled mainly into Scurry County this evening. There was a severe thunderstorm warning for winds over 70 mph and nickel size hail. As I write this, that activity has weakened to just moderate rainfall.

Rain chances look to continue for all of us over the next seven days due to the pattern that is setting up. We will be in a northerly flow aloft with some periodic upper level disturbances expected to move into the Big Country. Right now, it looks as though one of those will affect us tomorrow and into Saturday. Combine that with outflow boundaries roaming around the region from today's activity, our rain chance stands at 30% for the next two days. With moisture hanging around and the possibility of more disturbances Sunday through most of next week, showers and thunderstorms can't be ruled out. Our chances during that time period range from slight to 20%.

Temperatures still look to be around average for this time of year with highs in the low 90s and lows in the upper 60s.

Have a fantastic Friday!
