Friday Afternoon Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had above average temperatures across the Big Country today as highs were in the upper 80s to low 90s. A prefrontal trough is triggering some showers and thunderstorms in the Concho Valley. A few showers and storms formed briefly in Runnels county this afternoon.

A cold front is still expected to move through the area later tonight. There hasn't been much in the way of rain along this front as it has made its way towards us. A stray shower or thunderstorm can't be completely ruled out. Therefore, our chance for rain tonight is less than slight. Lows should be in the low to mid 60s.

Tomorrow looks to be pleasant with highs in the mid to upper 80s under partly cloudy skies. It may feel a bit more comfortable with dewpoints down a little bit.

An upper level high pressure ridge is expected to develop and move into the area Sunday and Monday. This means dry conditions and warmer temperatures for us. Highs look to be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

The ridge should shift to our east beginning Tuesday and continue to sit in the southeast U.S. through most of next week. An upper level trough will be to our west. If this is able to make its way close enough to the area, we could see some rain due some disturbances. For now I'm keeping it dry next week, but that may change depending on how the trough develops and moves as we get closer to that time period. Highs for Tuesday through next Friday look to be in the mid to upper 80s.

Have a super Saturday!
