Friday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started this morning with quite a bit of fog across portions of the Big Country this morning. This afternoon there were some widely scattered showers and thunderstorms in the northwestern and western portions of the viewing area. Highs were in the mid 70s to low 80s.

The upper level low that has been responsible for our rain this week is sitting off the Texas and Lousiana coast right now. It will remain in the northern Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Some upper level disturbances could move into the region off of that low. With plenty of moisture in place and enough daytime heating, it is not out of the question for some isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop. The activity this weekend will be similar to what we have seen the past couple of days. Highs look to be in the low to mid 80s.

Monday and Tuesday are expected to be dry for now with highs in the mid to upper 80s under partly cloudy skies.

A cold front should move through the area on Wednesday. There is a 30% chance for rain now, but that will likely increase as we get closer to that time period. Highs look to be in the upper 70s under mostly cloudy skies.

Some upper level disturbances may move into the area Thursday and next Friday. Our rain chance is slight. Highs will be in the upper 70s to around 80.

Have a wonderful weekend!
