Wednesday Evening Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Below average temperatures continued for us today with highs mainly in the mid 80s to low 90s. Brownwood was a little warmer at 95. The Clear Fork Brazos River is still running about three feet above flood stage at Fort Griffin in Shackelford county. It will crest tomorrow morning and does not look to go back below flood stage until Friday afternoon.

We may see a few sprinkles tomorrow, but Friday and Saturday look to be dry. Highs should be in the low 90s under partly cloudy skies.

A cold front looks to make it as far south as the Red River on Sunday. This could send some showers and thunderstorms into at least the northern portions of the viewing area. Upper level disturbances may cause some rain for us early next week. The chance for rain Sunday through next Wednesday is slight. Highs should be in the low 90s.

Hurricane Dean made its second landfall in Mexico this morning near the town of Tecolutla. It's maximum sustained winds at that time were 100 mph which is a category 2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Tonight, the storm has weakened all the way down to a tropical depression. It is expected to continued moving through central Mexico tonight and tomorrow.

Have a terrific Thursday!
