Holiday Weekend Looking Good

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Below average temperatures remained in the Big Country today with highs in the mid 80s to low 90s. Some isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms developed across parts of the area this afternoon. They will likely last until sunset and then die out with the loss of daytime heating.

Drier air looks to filter into the region this weekend. With less moisture in place, our chance for rain Saturday and Sunday will be slight at best. If you have any outdoor plans, they should be fine since it is more likely we will be dry and anything that does develop will be isolated. Highs for the weekend look to be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Beginning Labor Day and lasting through the next work week, more moisture should return to the Big Country. Some upper level disturbances could move into the area so there will be a chance for rain each day. Those chances range from 20% to 30% with the best shots being on Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs during this time period look to be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Have a wonderful and safe weekend!
