Tuesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Part of the Big Country has dealt with showers and thunderstorms today. In fact, Coleman, Brown, and Comanche counties each had severe thunderstorm warnings for penny to quarter size hail and winds in excess of 60 mph. Skies were mostly cloudy today with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.

The cutoff low that has been the primary source for the rain across our area and the state the last couple of days will move through the region overnight. This means we still have a chance for more isolated and widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. Our chance for rain will end from west to east overnight and early tomorrow morning. Lows tonight look to be in the low to mid 50s.

There is still a 20% chance of some isolated showers and thunderstorms in the far eastern portions of the viewing area tomorrow morning. By tomorrow afternoon, everyone should have partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid to upper 70s.

Thursday is expected to be warm and dry with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Another cold front looks to arrive late Thursday night into early Friday morning. Right now, our chance for showers and thunderstorms is 20% with this next lifting mechinism. That could increase as we get a little closer to that time period. Highs on Friday should be much cooler in the mid to upper 60s.

Saturday through Monday is expected to be dry with partly cloudy skies and highs ranging from the upper 60s to mid 70s.

We're keeping our eye on next Tuesday as an upper level disturbance may move through the area bringing us a chance for even more rain.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
