Wednesday Evening Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Below average temperatures continued for the Big Country today with highs in the mid 80s to low 90s. We should be experiencing temperatures in the mid 90s during mid-July. Dewpoints were up a little bit making it feel a less comfortable. Some southern communities in the vieiwng area were able to see some isolated showers and thunderstorms.

Tomorrow looks to be very similar to today. A low pressure trough will continue to drift off to the west-southwest which will put it in the southern portions of the state. There is a slight chance that the southern half of the viewing area will once again see some isolated showers and thunderstorms. Highs should be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Our best chance for rain areawide will be Friday through Sunday at 20%. A weak cold front is still expected to be close to or in the area during that time period. There are some indications that the front may stall and that is why the increased chance for rain will linger through the weekend. Highs will remain in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Some computer models are indicating a cutoff upper level low possibly moving towards the Lone Star State next week. Since the system has yet to even develop, we will just put in a slight chance of rain for now. Highs are expected to be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
