Saturday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

There was plenty of cloud cover today which helped to keep temperatures cool across most of the Big Country. The southern communties were able to see some sunshine before the clouds rolled in this afternoon. There was a little bit of rain in the northern portions of the area earlier today. Some thunderstorm fired up along the cold front in Coke, Runnels, Coleman, and Comanche. The cold front has now passed through the viewing area, but there are still a few showers hanging around.

We should see more showers and thunderstorms develop overnight as moist air rides over the front and a disturbance may move into the area.
There is a Flash Flood Watch in effect for Coke, Mitchell, Runnels, and Scurry counties until 7 a.m. tomorrow morning due to the potential for heavy rainfall in those areas.

Mostly cloudy skies should continue for the rest of your Labor Day weekend. There is a chance for more showers and thunderstorms due to enough moisture remaining in place and upper level disturbances possibly rolling into the area. Highs will remain below average in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Tuesday and Wednesday look dry with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid 80s.

There is a 20% chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms Thursday through Saturday. Highs will remain in the mid 80s under partly cloudy skies.

Have a spectacular Sunday!
