Monday Afternoon Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The last couple of days have been pleasant for us here in the Big Country. Highs have been below average for this time of year. Drier air has moved in and made it feel more comfortable.

An upper level high pressure ridge will remain over the western part of the country through midweek. An occassiaonal upper level disturbance could move across the region tomorrow through Thursday. Until we have a little bit better moisture in place our chance for rain due to this scenario is less than slight. Our south and southeastern communties could see some showers and thunderstorms due to a low pressure trough. It is currently in the eastern portions of the state and is expected to move west-southwest through Thursday. Looking at the projected path, the chance of the rain is slight at best. Highs Tuesday through Thursday look to be in the low 90s.

The entire area will have a much better chance for rain Friday through Sunday. A few upper level disturbances as well as a weak cold front are expected to move close to or possibly into the Big Country. For now the chance of rain is 20%, but that could increase as we get closer to that time period. Highs look to be in the low 90s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
