Friday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Despite more cloud cover, we had another very hot day as temperatures reached 97 to 106 across the Big Country. It did feel muggy with dewpoints in the mid 50s to mid 60s. Isolated showers and thunderstorms developed in the area thanks to a low pressure trough and outflow boundaries left over from yesterday's storm activity to our north.

We will continue to see a 20% chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms this weekend and early next week. The reasons for the possibility of rain are outflow boundaries from the previous day's activity and an upper level low that will be stalled to our southwest. With more cloud cover and some rain expected in the region, highs should only make it into the mid to upper 90s.

An upper level high pressure ridge builds back into the area by the middle of next week bringing our rain chances to an end and pushing our temperatures back up.

Have a super Saturday!
