Tuesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another pleasant day across the Big Country as temperatures were a little below average for this time of year. Highs were in the low to mid 80s. Comfortable conditions remained with dewpoints in the 40s.

The warming trend continues tomorrow with highs in the upper 80s. Dewpoints will begin to rise into the 50s, so it won't be quite as comfortable as it has been the last couple of days. You'll need to hang on to your hat since breezy conditions are expected.

We will have well above average temperatures on Thursday and Friday with highs in the low 90s. It will continue to be breezy to windy on both days. There is also a slight chance for rain due to the dryline being active. The chance is only slight because it looks as though the best moisture will be in the eastern portions of the state and the best dynamics will be just to our north.

A cold front is expected to arrive on Saturday so the slight chance for rain will continue. Highs should be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Temperatures swing back down below average for Sunday through Tuesday with mostly sunny skies.

Hurricane Gordon has weakened today. According to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center its maximum sustained winds are 85 mph. It will continue on an eastward track and move over the Azores tonight.

Hurricane Helene has weakened a little bit today as well. Its maximum sustained winds are 110 mph. The latest path projection from the National Hurricane Center has it moving towards Bermuda, but making a turn to the north and passing the island to the east.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
