Wednesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had a beautiful day here in the Big Country with much cooler temperatures. Highs were in the 70s. It also felt more comfortable with dewpoints mainly in the 40s. Some showers and thunderstorms developed to our west. They moved northeast and made it into the western portions of the viewing area. Most of that rain didn't make it to the surface though because it was a bit too dry. The rain ended up fizzling out in our western communities.

Tomorrow looks to be similar to today. We will likely begin with mostly cloudy skies in the morning that turn into partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. Some showers and storms could once again develop to our west and make their way into the area. There is a 20% chance for rain with the best shot being in the western communities. Highs should be in the low to mid 70s.

An upper level disturbance is expected to move into and through the region on Friday. The chance for showers and thunderstorms is 30%. Highs will be in the low to mid 70s under mostly cloudy skies.

A stray shower or thunderstorm can't be completely ruled out this weekend, but the chance is slight at best for rain. We should have pleasant temperatures Saturday and Sunday with highs in the mid 70s to around 80.

The dryline may be active Monday and Tuesday with a cold front moving into the Big Country on Wednesday. The chance for precipitation is 20%, but that will likely increase as we get closer to that time period. Highs look to be in the low to mid 80s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
