Monday Morning Forecast

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

We have had an overall cloudy weekend with some scattered showers across the area. Today much of the same will be in store for the Big Country.

This morning a few showers are making its way through the area mainly north of I 20. For the rest of today we will continue to see the mostly cloudy skies however temperatures will make it into the upper 70’s to lower 80’s. By the afternoon a few factors could come in play to cause some thunderstorms. First we have a trough out to our west that will through some disturbances our way. Along with that we have a high pressure system to our East, this is helping to push in plenty of low level moisture. With these factors plus a dryline setting up and daytime heating we could see a few thunderstorms this afternoon into the evening. Overnight lows will make it into the mid 60’s.

Tomorrow will be a similar set up as the factors will be in place once again. The clouds should break letting in some sunshine which could only aid in the development of thunderstorms. Temperatures will be in the lower 80’s.

Wednesday during the day we should see partly sunny skies and temperatures steady lower 80’s. By the evening our next front will makes its pass into the area bringing back the chance for thunderstorms into the evening. Overnight temperatures behind the front will drop back into the upper 50’s. This front will stall just to our South keeping the chance for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for the rest of the week.

Highs Thursday will only make it into the mid 70’s behind front however we will rebound back into the 80’s by the weekend.

Have a great week!
