Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Thunderstorms well off to the northwest of the Big Country this morning but there is quite a bit of patchy fog out there this morning so give yourself some extra time heading off to work or taking the kids to school this morning. The fog should begin to burn off around mid-morning across the area.
* A weak front will drift down into the area this morning and will turn our winds northwestly which will shed a few degrees off the thermometers today with highs in the middle and upper 80s. Winds turn southeasterly tonight and it will warm up with lows dropping down to near 70.
* Turning Up The Heat: A heat ridge over Mexico builds northward across Texas today and through the end of the week. Daytime highs will climb into the upper 90s to low 100s on Thursday. Friday will be the warmest day with widespread low 100s across the area. A front is expected late Friday/early Saturday and most always see things really warm up before a front arrives this time of year so expect that Friday.
* Rain Chances: Models are showing a slight chance for an isolated storm or two ove the weekena dn into Monday. I've went ahead and inserted a 20% chance for the three day period.
* Weekend/Next Week: Highs will drop back into the upper 70s and lower to middle 80s over the weekend due to the front and the slight rain chances. Next week the heat begins to build again with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s on Monday and Tuesday.
