Thursday Afternoon Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We continue to have below average temperatures across the Big Country. Highs today were mainly in the 80s, but Abilene managed to hit 91 early in the afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms moved through the eastern half of the area thanks to a weak upper level low that contiues to sit near Del Rio.

The low will move very slowly to the west-northwest through the end of the week. With plenty of moisture remaining in place, a 30% chance for showers and thunderstorms continues Friday through Sunday. We could see some heavy rain at times so be careful if you are going to be out and about over the next couple of days. Temperatures should be well below average for this time of year thanks to mostly cloudy skies and occasional rain. Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 80s.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible through much of next week. The chance for rain is 20%. Highs should be in the low 90s.

Have a fantastic Friday!
