Tuesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started with mostly cloudy skies and some fog across the area this morning, but by the afternoon it was mostly sunny to sunny. This allowed us to warm up into the mid 70s to low 80s for highs.

Another upper level trough is building in the western portions of the country. This will move east towards us tomorrow which will push the dryline into the area. We could see strong to severe thunderstorms during the late afternoon and evening hours tomorrow. The main threats will be large hail and damaging winds, but a few isolated tornadoes can't be completely ruled out. All of the Big Country is under a slight risk for severe weather according to the Storm Prediction Center. Our chance for rain is 30%. Highs for Wednesday are expected to reach the upper 70s to low 80s.

A cold front will move through the area on Thursday continuing our chance for showers and thunderstorms. In fact, that chance is higher at 50%. With mostly cloudy skies, rain and cooler air moving in, highs should only be in the upper 60s to low 70s.

The slow moving trough may not be completely through our region until late Friday. There is a 30% chance for more precipitation that day with highs in the mid to upper 60s.

The weekend and early next week look dry and pleasant for now with highs ranging from the low 70s to low 80s during that time period.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
