Wednesday Night Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We were slightly cooler, but still very hot across the Big Country today. Highs ranged from 95 in Snyder to 100 in Sweetwater and Brownwood. Comanche made it to 99, while Abilene managed to get to 98. The reason we were a couple of degrees cooler was due to a wind shift line that moved through and caused our winds to be from the east-northeast instead of south.

The scorching heat looks to continue for at least the next seven days. The upper level high pressure ridge will remain strong through Saturday. Then it looks like it will flatten and weaken a little bit before restrengthening early next week. What this all means for us is that highs will remain in the upper 90s to around 100 for the next week. As far as rain chances go, they are pretty much zero. Be careful in the heat and try to stay cool.

Have a terrific Thursday!
