Friday Afternoon Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Showers and thunderstorms developed across the viewing area late this morning and into the afternoon. The coverage of the rain was not as widespread as yesterday and there haven't been any flooding problems with today's rain. Highs were mainly in the 80s except for Brownwood which reached the low 90s.

A shift in our weather pattern will begin this weekend. The upper level high pressure ridge which has been to our west much of this summer is expected to move into the central and southern plains Saturday and Sunday. The center of it should then move into the southeast for next week. The ridge is large enough that it looks to still be in control over our area. Temperatures will be on the increase and rain chances on the decrease because of this. Highs should be in the low to mid 90s. Rain chances will be less than slight. A stray shower or thunderstorm can't be completely ruled out due to amount of moisture that is expected to remain in place.

Have a super Saturday!
