Cooler Temperatures On The Way

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We continued with the warm and dry conditions across the Big Country today. Highs reached the low to mid 80s under mostly sunny skies. Winds were breezy from the south-southwest which helped moisture to return to the area.

The warm temperatures will continue tomorrow with highs in the low to mid 80s. Winds shouldn't be as breezy, but they will shift to the northwest late in the day thanks to a cold front. With the dryline expected to be in the region before the front, there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon. It is during the evening hours that the rain chance increases to 20%.

The 20% chance for showers and thunderstorms continues through Wednesday morning. Temperatures will be much cooler thanks to the cold front from the night before and mostly cloudy skies. Highs look to be in the low to mid 60s.

On Thursday, we will have another 20% chance for showers and thunderstorms as an upper level low builds to the west. It could send a disturbance our way and that is why there is a chance for rain. Highs should be in the mid 60s under mostly cloudy skies.

The best chance for rain this week looks to be Friday through early Saturday. With the low expected to move close to or possibly over the area, there is a 30% chance for showers and thunderstorms. A second shot of cooler air should move in as well on Friday, so highs will likely be in the low 60s. After some rain early on Saturday, we should clear out during the rest of the day. That means highs should be able to reach the mid to upper 60s.

Easter Sunday looks pleasant right now with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 70s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
