Tuesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The heat was definitely on today across the Big Country as temperatures reached the upper 90s to 100. It also felt humid with dewpoints in the mid 50s to mid 60s. Luckily, it was breezy today so it didn't feel completely miserable outside. Some showers and thunderstorms are trying to sneak into the northern and western portions of the viewing area as I write this. The activity will likely make it into Scurry, Stonewall, and Knox counties before dying out.

The scorching heat and muggy conditions look to continue through at least the next seven days. Highs will be mainly in the upper 90s to about 100. Dewpoints look to remain in the mid 50s to mid 60s. With this amount of heat and moisture, a stray shower or thunderstorm can't be ruled out in the late afternoon or evening hours. The chance of this though looks to be less than slight. Rain could also occur if any storms that start outside of our area are able to survive and move into the Big Country before they die out.

Be careful in the heat and try to stay cool.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
