Friday Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

We saw a picture perfect day across the area yesterday afternoon. It was a cool start with temperatures dipping into the mid 40’s but quickly with the afternoon sunshine they reached into the lower 70’s. Along with the warmth we saw a break in the winds only blowing from 5-10 mph.

The high pressure system that brought us plenty of sunshine yesterday has finally pushed off towards the east helping to kick in some moisture as our winds have switched to the Southeast. With an upper level trough just to our North the chance for thunderstorms will be possible. The best chance will be North of I-20 which is currently under a slight risk from the Storm Prediction Center for severe storms, however a scatted storm around the Big Country can’t be ruled out. Temperatures will finally return to around average at 80 degrees. Overnight we will continue the chances for thunderstorms with lows in the upper 50’s.

An upper level low over the Baja Peninsula could throw a few disturbances our way tomorrow. This will keep in the chance a shower or thunderstorm. Otherwise we will see partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the lower 80’s to upper 50’s.

Early next week the upper level low will move towards our area keeping in the chance for thunderstorms. Temperatures will stay in the lower 80’s with lows in the lower 60’s .

Have a great day!
