Tuesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Springlike temperatures finally returned to the area today after several days of cooler than normal temperatures. Highs were in the upper 70s to mid 80s this afternoon. We warmed up thanks to west winds and mostly sunny skies.

A cold front will move through the Big Country tonight. We could see a sprinkle or two out of it and gusty winds as the front passes. Highs tomorrow look to be in the mid to upper 70s under mostly sunny skies. Winds will be from the northwest and not nearly as strong as today.

Windy conditions are expected to return Thursday and Friday. It looks like sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts will be possible. Highs on both days should be in the upper 70s under partly cloudy skies. There is a 20% chance for showers and thunderstorms late Thursday afternoon through early Friday morning. This is due to a cold front expected to move through the area on Friday as well as an upper level system moving close to us. We may see some severe thunderstorms Thursday. The Storm Prediciton Center has the area under a slight risk for that day. We'll keep a close eye on this situation.

The weekend looks pleasant right now with highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
