Rain Possible This Week

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another very hot day across the Big Country as highs reached the mid 90s to a little over 100. Dewpoints were mainly in the 50s for much of the day, so it wasn't too uncomfortable.

An upper level high pressure ridge should continue to remain in control across the area through the middle of the week. This will keep our highs in the upper 90s to a little over 100 through Wednesday. Breezy conditions are expected during the next couple of days. The fire danger will remain elevated for now, so please continue to be careful. Also, be sure you are taking care of yourself if you are going to be out in the heat. A stray shower or thunderstorm can't be ruled out the first three days of this upcoming work week, but the chance is less than slight.

The ridge looks to weaken around Thursday allowing a weak cold front to move into the area. More moisture should have built in by this time, so our rain chances are better towards the end of the work week and into the first half of the weekend. Those chances are slight to 20%, but could increase as we get closer to that time period. Highs will likely cool down into the mid 90s behind the cold front.

Temperatures begin rising back up and rain chances come to an end on Sunday.

Have a magnificent Monday!
