Thursday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had much cooler temperatures today thanks to the cold front that moved through the area this morning. Highs were mainly in the 70s. A weak upper level disturbance caused a few showers and thunderstorms in Mitchell, Coke, and Runnels counties.

Tomorrow looks to be a pleasant and warmer day. Highs will reach the mid to upper 80s under sunny skies. It may be breezy at times with winds from the south-southwest at 10 to 15 mph.

An upper level high pressure ridge will move into the region from the west this weekend and remain in place through the middle of next week. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will likely be in the low 90s. The first half of next week looks warm too with highs in the upper 80s. Unfortunately, rain chances are pretty much non-existent for the next seven days.

We have our ninth named storm of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Tropical Storm Isaac is 635 miles east-southeast of Bermuda. It has 45 mph sustained winds according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center. The latest path projection has it staying out to sea and passing Bermuda to the east.

Have a fantastic Friday!
