Saturday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed across the area today. A few of the storms did reach severe limits in Callahan, Jones, and Taylor counties with penny size hail and winds in excess of 60 mph. All of the rain has pretty much come to an end this evening, but a stray shower or storm could pop up overnight.

The chance for more scattered showers and storms continues tomorrow and early next week due to several factors. One, outflow boundaries from the previous day's activity should be in the area. Second, an upper level low to our south-southwest will likely send a few disturbances our direction. Last, a cold front looks to get close to the area just to our north on Monday. Overall our chance for rain will be 20% to 30% through Tuesday. Our highs during this time period will be dependent on how much cloud cover we receive and when the rainfall occurs. We should be able to get highs in the mid to upper 90s.

An upper level high pressure ridge will likely build back into the area by Wednesday bringing an end to our rain chances and sending our temperatures back up.

Have a spectacular Sunday!
