Wednesday Morning Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

We saw another gorgeous day across the Big Country yesterday. With not a cloud in the sky through the early morning by the afternoon a few had built. It was perfect for getting out and playing a game of tennis, with a bit a shade from the passing clouds you got some relief from the blazing sunshine. A few of us even had to dodge a couple rain drops in our very southern counties-Comanche and Brown.

Today we will again see that mix of sun and clouds with temperatures just a few degrees below our average. The chance for an isolated thunderstorm down in our southern counties will still be in play thanks to out flow boundaries and the upper level low to our south. Looking at the big picture few factors are still in play- upper level high to our north and an upper level low just below the Texas/Mexico border. We are still seeing drier air through out lower and upper levels but more gulf moisture is being pushed back into the Big Country. Again dew points today should range from the upper 50’s in the Snyder area to 70’s around Brownwood. That helps with where the best rain chances will be- where we have more moisture available. For the most part it will just be another beautiful and comfortable afternoon.

Tomorrow through the weekend rain chances will be bumped up for the whole area. Tomorrow still keeping it at slight but Friday through Sunday the chance goes up to 20%. We will see a frontal boundary that is causing some havoc up in the mid west makes its southward progression. Although it may stall out just before reaching us we still will see more cloud cover.

Temperatures stay steady in the lower 90’s with overnight lows in lower 70’s.

Have a great Wednesday!
