Thursday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The roasty toasty temperatures continued as highs reached 99 to 104 across the Big Country today. We did have some isolated showers and thunderstorms in the southern portions of the viewing area this afternoon and early evening. The bulk of the activity was over Comanche, Brown, and Coleman counties.

Tomorrow will be a similar day as highs approach the triple digit mark again. A stray shower or thunderstorm can't be ruled out, but our chance looks to be less than slight.

The blazing heat comes to an end on Saturday as a cold front is expected to arrive early in the day. Highs should only make it into the low 90s. With moisture in place and this lifting mechanism moving in, some isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible. That chance is about 20% right now.

The front looks to stall south of the viewing area by Sunday, so there is a slight chance of more rain in the southern communties. Highs are expected to remain in the low 90s.

A slight warming trend is expected next week with highs returning to the upper 90s by Wednesday.

Have a fantastic Friday!
