From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
The few showers and thunderstorms that we did see during the overnight hours came to end early this morning. We had one thunderstorm reach severe limits in Throckmorton county last night. Quarter to golf ball size hail was reported.
A cold front moved through overnight as well. Cooler and drier air has filtered in behind it. We should see plenty of sunshine, but highs will only make it into the upper 60s to low 70s.
Windy conditions will be the main story not only today, but tomorrow too. West winds of 20 to 30 mph are expected today. A Wind Advisory is in effect for most of the area due to the strong winds which could gust as high as 40 mph during the day. Southwest winds of 15 to 25 mph are likely tomorrow. With relative humidity values expected to fall below 20% and dry conditions remaining, a Red Flag Warning is in effect for almost the entire area today. A Fire Weather Watch has already been issued for most of the Big Country for Friday. We need to continue to be careful with the high fire danger for the next couple of days. Please follow all the necessary precautions in order to prevent fires. This includes things like not throwing cigarette butts out of the window and burning trash. You also want to be very careful with welding torches.
It looks like temperatures will remain well above average through the weekend. Our average high this time of year is in the upper 60s. Highs for Friday through Sunday should mainly be in the upper 70s to low 80s.
Changes come late Sunday night into early Monday in the form of another cold front. Unfortunately, no rain is expected with the frontal passage. Temperatures however will return closer to average for the late winter season.
Have a terrific Thursday!
