Cooler Temperatures Are Almost Here

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

For those of you who love the really hot weather, enjoy today because much cooler weather will be here soon. There will be a range of temperatures across the area depending on when the cold front arrives later today. Most of us should see highs in the upper 90s, however those of you in the north and northwestern portions of the viewing area will likely see highs in the low to mid 90s. In the southeastern portions of the viewing area near Brownwood and Comanche you should see highs in the triple digits. Winds will begin from the southwest and then shift to the northwest behind the front and should be about 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight, lows are expected to be in the mid to upper 50s with a slight chance of a stray shower or thunderstorm. Rain chances are only slight due to a lack of moisture. Winds will be the main story tonight. They should pick up from the north-northeast at about 10 to 20 mph. Higher gusts of 30 to 40 mph are expected, so be aware if you are going to be out and about tonight.

Tomorrow, highs should be in the mid to upper 70s with a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm. Breezy conditions are expected to remain with winds from the north-northeast at 10 to 20 mph.

Temperatures look to rebound for Friday through Sunday. Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 80s. Models that were indicating a possible disturbance in the area have shifted the track to the north, so I have decreased our chances of rain this weekend to slight for now.
