Warm & Dry...For Now

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The spring-like temperatures continued for us today with highs in the mid to upper 70s. It was a pleasant day with sunny skies and winds not as strong as yesterday.

Thursday will be another beautiful day for us with mostly sunny skies. It should be a little breezy at times with winds from the south-southwest at 10 t0 15 mph. Highs are expected to reach the mid to upper 70s.

An upper level trough looks to move into the region Friday. A surface low pressure system should develop in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. This will bring windy conditions back to the Big Country. Winds look to be 20 to 30 mph with gusts of 35 to 40 mph. With moisture back in place and a dryline expected to move across the region late Friday, we have a chance for showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms could be severe. In fact, the Storm Prediction Center has most of the area under a slight risk for severe weather already. We are still 36 to 48 hours away from possible severe weather conditions and a lot can change between now and then. It is a situation we are keeping a close eye on. Highs for Friday look to reach the low to mid 70s.

Any showers and thunderstorms we have in the area should come to an end Saturday morning. Strong winds will bring cooler and drier air into the region. Highs should reach the mid to upper 60s.

Sunday through next Wednesday look dry with highs in the low to mid 60s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
