Pattern Change For Next Week

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

I know I have sounded like a broken record all week, but the warm temperatures continued again today here in the Big Country. Highs reached the upper 80s to low 90s in many locations. For those of you who like warm temperatures, I hope you enjoyed it because much cooler conditions are on the horizon.

The upper level high pressure ridge that has dominated over the area this week will shift to the east this weekend. A trough in the west that contains an upper level low will begin moving closer to the area. This will bring more moisture and some disturbances into the region. Our chance for rain will begin late Sunday at slight and increase to 30% by Tuesday. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s on Saturday, but fall into the mid 70s by Tuesday.

It looks like a cold front will arrive in the Big Country late Wednesday or early Thursday. The chance for rain with this front is only slight to 20%. This front may bring the coolest air we have had so far this season Thursday and Friday. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 60s with lows in the mid to upper 40s. Get the long sleeve shirts and sweaters ready.

Have a super Saturday!
