Monday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We have had quite a bit of rain across the area since last night. The southern and western portions ranged from 2 to 3 inches with the northern and central portions picking up an inch or less. There were a few higher isolated amounts. Highs were in the 60s due to mostly cloudy and overcast skies as well as some showers and thunderstorms.

The rain will come to an end from west to east by early tomorrow morning. This is due to the upper level low moving east of us. We should begin tomorrow with some rain in the eastern portions of the viewing area and some patchy fog across the entire Big Country. Clouds are expected to decrease through the day and by late tomorrow afternoon it should be partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs look to be in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Another upper level trough is expected to build in the west over the next couple of days. It should help push a dryline into the area late Wednesday and a cold front on Thursday. This means we have a chance for showers and thunderstorms. That chance is 20% on Wednesday and 40% on Thursday. It is possible for some of the storms we see to reach severe levels. We will be keeping a close eye on this and letting you know if any watches or warnings are issued. Highs on Wednesday should be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Thursday will likely be much cooler thanks to the passage of the cold front with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Friday and the weekend look dry for now with highs ranging from the upper 60s to mid 70s during that time period.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
