Thursday Morning Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Yesterday was a warm and muggy day around the area. We had all the ingredients in place for thunderstorms – moisture, heat, a stationary front and dryline – and by around 7 pm thunderstorms began to pop. Through the overnight we have seen a few more thunderstorms break out around Brownwood with otherwise overcast skies.

Today the front that is over our area will wash out return our winds to the south/southeast. We will also see decreasing clouds and hopefully by the afternoon get some sunshine back in here. We could again see a few thunderstorms with a chance of them becoming severe. The best chance will be towards the evening especially in our northern counties. Temperatures will hit the mid 80’s with overnight lows in the upper 60’s.

For the weekend northwest flow aloft will help to throw disturbances our way. We still have plenty of moisture in our area so we can’t rule out a few thunderstorms for the weekend. With plenty of sunshine and very warm temperatures in the mid 80’s still pleasant for any outdoor plans. By Sunday our next front will push into the area although it will be very weak and not make much of an impact except aid in chance for thunderstorms.

By mid next week a high pressure ridge should develop changing our wet pattern to a dry one and get those temperatures in the 90’s.

Have a great day!
