Friday Morning Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

Sunny, Warm, and Windy described Yesterday’s weather. We saw winds sustained at 33 mph with gusts up to 39 mph.

This morning we are seeing a few very light showers around the area however the bulk of the activity has stayed up towards the Panhandle where they have seen thunderstorms overnight. Today we will see an upper level low push towards our area that will help to push a cold front through along with a dryline. This morning thunderstorms will be possible around the area, with the chance of them becoming severe with the biggest threat being strong winds and hail. We will continue to keep you updated if any watches or warnings are issued. The most likely area to see the strong activity this afternoon will be our Eastern counties along with the Heartland, and Arklatex region. If your weekend plans are taking you that way you definitely want to keep updated throughout the afternoon with any watches and warnings. After we see the dryline and cold front pass through our area we will quickly dry out and see partly cloudy skies during the afternoon. High temperatures will reach into the upper 70’s. Overnight will be mostly clear skies with cooler temperatures in the lower 40’s.

A drier but cooler weekend is on store for us with highs tomorrow in the lower 60’s and Sunday in the lower 70’s. We can’t let go of the winds yet as they will continue to blow out of the North/Northwest around 15-25 mph. We will see partly to mostly sunny skies which should help to make it feel a bit warmer.

By early next week we will bring in our next weather maker and because of that we are keeping a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for Tuesday. Highs through the work week will be in the lower 70’s with overnight lows around 50 degrees.

Have a great weekend and be safe!
