Monday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had cool temperatures across the Big Country today thanks to cloudy skies as well as some rain. Showers and even a few thunderstorms have moved across the area off and on since this morning. The bulk of the activity has been south of the Interstate 20 corridor.

The upper level low that has sent disturbances our direction will continue to move east across northern Mexico and through south Texas tonight and tomorrow. Our chance for rain should end from west to east across the viewing area during the morning hours Thursday. Skies should clear enough tomorrow afternoon to allow some sunshine. This means high temperatures will be warmer tomorrow. We should reach the low 60s.

Friday looks to be our warmest day of the next seven as highs will likely be in the upper 60s to low 70s. The reasons for the well above average temperatures will be a mostly sunny sky and southwesterly winds.

The warm-up is short-lived as a cold front is expected to move through the area early Saturday. We will have chilly temperatures with highs in the mid 40s. There is a 20% chance for rain during the afternoon and evening hours.

We look to dry things out and gradually warm back up Sunday through Wednesday. Highs should range from the mid 50s for the second half of the weekend to the mid 60s by the middle of the next work week.

Have a terrific Thursday!
