Monday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had scattered showers and thunderstorms develop across the Big Country again this afternoon and evening. This was due to a disturbance that was in the eastern portions of the state. Despite partly cloudy skies and some rain in parts of the viewing area, highs still managed to make it into the upper 90s for most of us.

The disturbance that brought us some rainfall today will be moving across the area later tonight and tomorrow. This means our chance for rainfall will continue, but only at 20%. Most of the activity should be isolated. With more cloud cover and rainfall possible, highs should be a little cooler tomorrow in the mid 90s.

An upper level high pressure ridge takes over on Wednesday and dominates through the rest of the week giving us dry conditions again. Highs should be right around 100 from midweek through the weekend.

Our next chance of rain may come early next week with the possiblity of another disturbance in the area. That chance right now is slight, but could increase as we get closer to that time period.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
