Monday Afternoon Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Below average temperatures continued for the area today thanks to mostly cloudy skies and some showers and thunderstorms. Highs were mainly in the 80s, but Brownwood was able to hit 90 this afternoon. The rain was not as widespread or heavy as yesterday.

Showers and thunderstorms will continue to be possible throughout the work week and into the first half of the weekend. Plenty of moisture is expected to remain throughout that time period. Combine that with a possible upper level disturbance or upper level low developing in the state plus a stationary front that may slide far enough south to be in our area and you have good chances for rain. Those chances will range from 30% tomorrow to 50% Wednesday and Thursday. With these lifting mechanisms, weakening or moving out of the area towards the end of the work week, the chance for rain will drop to 30% on Friday. It is possible for us to see heavy rain at times so be careful on the roadways. Highs should be in the mid to upper 80s.

We could see some isolated showers and thunderstorms on Saturday. The chance of precipitaiton is 20%. Highs look to be in the upper 80s to low 90s under partly cloudy skies.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
