Wednesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms fired up across the Big Country again this afternoon and evening. No severe thunderstorms were in the area, but there were a few strong ones with pea size hail and winds around 40 mph. Despite mostly cloudy skies during the afternoon hours, highs made it into the upper 80s to low 90s.

With the amount of moisture in place, warm afternoon temperatures, and some boundaries lingering from today's activity, we could see more isolated showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. The chance for rain is 20%. Highs should be in the upper 80s to low 90s under partly cloudy skies.

A slight chance for rain will continue Friday through Sunday due to hot afternoon temperatures and the amount of moisture that will remain in place. An upper level high pressure ridge that is expected to build into the area is the reason the chance is only slight.

The first half of next week looks hot and dry and with highs in the mid 90s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
