Friday Forecast

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

It was a wet and soggy day yesterday across the Big Country. Rainfall amounts was anywhere from an inch to almost five inches in southern Taylor county. This caused flash flooding and road closures around the area. By the evening some sunshine was able to come out and relieve some of the flooding as we got a good break from the rain.

This morning just a few scattered showers are across the area. We are also seeing some fog this morning which could cause reduce visibilities on the morning commute.

Through the day we will see decreasing clouds and warmer temperatures in the upper 80’s. With plenty of moisture around we still will have to deal with the very humid conditions. The trough that played a big factor yesterday in the rain is pushing south which should help to limit our rain chances. Along with that we have the possibility of outflow boundaries and even a disturbance that could move through off the upper level low to our west. By the overnight the rain chances will decrease as we will see more lifting forces and loose the heating of the day.

Tomorrow through next week high pressure will push in and dominate. This means more sun and hot temperatures. Please careful if you will be outdoors for any length of time- stay hydrated!

Have a good weekend!
