Wednesday Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

We had a line of thunderstorms push through the Big Country yesterday afternoon spawning watches and warnings. Through the overnight as well we saw scattered showers and thunderstorms although nothing was severe after 10 pm.

On your morning commute there were still be a few scattered showers and plenty of wet roadways from all the rain. Temperatures have cooled off and are sitting in the mid 50’s. Throughout the day today the upper level low that has been churning in New Mexico will finally makes its drive through our region. This will help to keep plenty of rain chances through the day and into the overnight. As it makes it way the stationary front will finally push off to the east and high pressure will build in behind it toward the end of the week. With the storms we see today there is the possibility of heavy rainfall and severe weather depending on how much instability we get from daytime heating. We still have a Flash Flood Watch in effect for all counties except Stonewall. High temperatures will only make it into the mid 70’s.

Tomorrow we will start to drop our chance for thunderstorms and bring in some sunshine through the clouds. We will keep in 20 percent for Thursday and Friday with the best chances in our Eastern counties. Temperatures will rebound in the upper 70’s Thursday and by Friday get into the lower 80’s.

The weekend and early next week are looking dry with partly sunny skies, mid 80’s and overnight lows in the lower 60’s.

Have a great day!
