More Rain Chances In The Forecast

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had a cool and comfortable day here in the Big Country. It was windy with winds from the north-northwest at 15 to 25 mph. Skies were mostly sunny with highs in the upper 60 to mid 70s.

Thursday will be another pleasant and comfortable day. Temperatures look to remain below average for this time of year. Highs should be in the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.

An upper level trough looks to move into the area on Friday. We have a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms because of this. Some of the storms may be severe, but at this time none of the area is under a specific risk from the Storm Predicition Center. Skies will be mostly cloudy with highs in the mid to upper 70s.

An upper level low may form in the Baja California area late Friday into Saturday. It will send some disturbances our way during the weekend before weakening as it moves across the area early next week. There is a 30% chance for rain on Saturday and a 20% chance on Sunday and Monday. If this low does not form, we will likely be dry for this time period. Highs right now look to be in the upper 70s to low 80s, but could be cooler depending on how much cloud cover and rain we see.

Tuesday and next Wednesday should be warm and dry with highs in the mid 80s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
