Rain Chances Looking Better

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had another beautiful and warm day here in the Big Country. Despite a weak cold front moving through the area, highs were in the mid 70s to low 80s this afternoon. All the front did for us was dry us out a little bit and shift our winds to the northwest. Skies were mostly sunny for most of the day.

Saturday looks to be another pleasant and warm day. Highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s under partly cloudy skies.

Another cold front is expected to arrive Saturday night into early Sunday morning. We could see some showers and thunderstorms in the region overnight Saturday night and remain off and on through Monday. The reason for our rain chances is not only the front, but an upper level low that looks to move over us Sunday and Monday. Our chance for rain on Sunday is 60%. Monday, that chance decreases to 40%. Highs Sunday and Monday should be in the mid to upper 60s, but could be cooler depending on how much cloud cover and rain we see. If everything plays out just right with the front and the low, we could see at least half an inch of rain in the area with isolated higher amounts.

Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be dry with partly cloudy skies and highs in the 70s.

Yet another cold front looks to move through the area on Thursday bringing cooler temperatures for the end of the next work week. There is also a slight chance for rain on Thursday.

Have a super Saturday!
