Friday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had another day with below average temperatures across the Big Country thanks in part to mostly cloudy to overcast skies. Highs were in the mid 60s to low 70s with a few place like Brownwood reaching the upper 70s. An upper level disturbance moved through the area today causing some rain for us. Rainfall totals were mainly light across the region.

A few stray showers and thunderstorms can't be ruled out this weekend. The chance for rain though is slight. Highs on Saturday will be in the low to mid 70s under mostly cloudy skies. It will be warmer on Sunday with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s under partly cloudy skies.

The dryline looks to be active and possibly move into the area Monday and Tuesday. The chance for showers and thunderstorms is 20%. Highs should be in the low to mid 80s.

A cold front is expected to arrive on Wednesday so the chance for rain will be higher at 30%. Highs look to cool down into the upper 70s to low 80s.

There could be some lingering showers and thunderstorms on Thursday so the chance for rain is 20%. Highs will be in the low 80s.

It is possible that some of the storms we see Monday through Wednesday may be severe. Not only will we have the lifting mechanisms mentioned above, but the jetstream may dip down close to our area. It is a situation we are keeping a close eye on for next week.

Next Friday looks pleasant right now with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low to mid 80s.

Have a wonderful weekend!
