Monday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had a hot and humid day across the Big Country as highs reached the mid to upper 90s. A few showers and thunderstorms tried to get going in Knox county, but they died down pretty quickly. A line of showers and storms fired up west of our area between Lubbock and Midland. As I write this, they are moving slowly eastward and could move into Scurry and Mitchell counties. This activity should continue to die down as we lose the heating of the day though.

It looks like we can expect hot and humid conditions for at least the next week as an upper level high pressure ridge should hold strong in our area.
Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s with lows in the low to mid 70s. A stray shower or thunderstorm can't be completely ruled out with the amount of heat and moisture that we'll have, but that chance looks to be less than slight.

Be careful if you are going to be out in the heat. Some of the things you should do include the following. Be sure to take breaks in the shade or indoors. Drink plenty of water. Also, wear light colored clothing.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
