Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* A complex of thunderstorms is moving across Texoma this morning and will slip across the far northern Big Country this morning, staying mainly north of US 380. An outflow boundary from this complex has moved south and now is sitting along and just north of US 180. The complex will continue to move east with a general southeastern jog and should stay east of most of our area. Once we get daytime heating, we could start to see isolated thunderstorms developing along the outflow boundary. Some of these storms could be severe. I will keep the rain chance for today at 30% for the area.
* The cold front continues to drop in from the north this morning across the Big Country. Rain has pretty much ended for the area, although there could be a few lingering sprinkles or a light shower this morning. Clouds will hang for a while today and slowly we will begin to break up the cloud cover. Any storms today should be well south of the area ahead of the cold front. Highs today will be in the upper 70s and the lower 80s thanks to the cloud cover and rainfall yesterday evening and last night. Lows tonight dip into the upper 50s and lower 60s.
* A quick warming trend will arrive as we get late into the week as a ridge builds over the area bringing very warm and dry weather. The warming trend will begin on Friday and we will warm well into the middle and upper 90s Friday and most spots will be near or just abover 100° over the weekend.
* Next Week: Temperatures drop back some for the area into the lower and middle 90s. Long range models show the high flattening out and a trough out west working into the area that could bring us some more rain chances Monday night and early Tuesday.
