Wednesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had a picture perfect day across the Big Country today. Skies were sunny with only a couple of clouds this afternoon. Highs ranged from the upper 60s in Snyder to the upper 70s in Brownwood.

Tomorrow does not look to be as pleasant. There is a chance for showers and thunderstorms from late tomorrow afternoon through Friday morning. Some of the storms we see could be severe. The Storm Prediction Center has the area under a slight risk Thursday and Friday. The main threats look to be large hail and damaging winds. Right now our chance for rain is 20% for Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. It is 40% for Thursday night. The reason for our chance of rain is two-fold. One, a cold front will move through the area on Friday. Two, an upper level low in the southwest U.S. will send some upper level disturbances our way ahead of the front. Highs for Thursday and Friday look to be in the upper 70s.

The weekend will likely be beautiful with highs in the mid 60s to low 70s under moslty sunny skies.

Another cold front is expected to arrive on Tuesday bringing us another chance for showers and thunderstorms.

Have a terrific Thursday!
