Sunday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a hot and muggy afternoon with highs mainly in the mid to upper 90s across the Big Country. We did have some rain in the area. This morning there was some shower activity in the western portions. This afternoon we had a few isolated thunderstorms fire up. The bulk of the activity was in Taylor county near Abilene. The airport picked up 0.11" from the storms.

With a cold front approaching the region from the north tomorrow and a few outflow boundaries lingering around, there is a 20% chance of more isolated showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. The best chance will be in the northern communities because of the proximity to the front which is expected to stall around the Red River. With a little more cloud cover tomorrow, highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 90s.

A slight chance of rain continues on Tuesday with partly cloudy skies and highs remaining in the mid to upper 90s.

A weak upper level high pressure ridge should build in by Wednesday and hold through the rest of the work week pushing highs back into the upper 90s. With most of the area expected to remain dry and hot afternoon temperatures, the fire danger will remain elevated this week.

Have a magnificent Monday!
