Friday Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Overnight has again stayed very pleasant as the showers have stayed mainly to our north and east. Temperatures are also a bit warmer with mainly low 70’s.

If I could say same story different day I would. High pressure is still dominating to the west in the four corners and a disturbance is still spinning right over the Red River area. We are caught in between. With the disturbance not getting pushed to far away we will still keep in the chance for showers and thunderstorms. Again today the best chance will be in our Eastern counties as they are the closest to the low. On the flip side our western counties have the best chance of seeing more sunshine but still not ruling out an isolated thunderstorm all around. Temperatures are still staying a bit cooler, in the upper 80’s, thanks to the rain and also more cloud cover.

Through the weekend we have to keep in at least a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm. With the moisture not going anywhere and the disturbance sticking around Texas we still have the ingredients available. As we push the disturbance more away we will be able to decrease the rain chances. Through the weekend we will say partly sunny skies with temperatures in the upper 80’s to low 90’s. Overnight lows will be in the upper 60’s.

Next week we will start off dry however by midweek our next system will be knocking at our door. Temperatures will be in the low 90’s with a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Get out and enjoy the sunshine when you can, however make sure to take the precautions- stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and if you hear thunder move your plans inside until the storm passes.

Have a great first weekend of summer!
