Hello Summer

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

For the first time all week, no showers or thunderstorms developed or moved into the area. An upper level high pressure ridge is beginning to build in the central and southern plains. Highs today were in the upper 80s to low 90s under partly to mostly cloudy skies.

The center of the high pressure ridge should shift into the southeast during the upcoming work week. We will still be affected by it since it is a large ridge. The pattern that is expected to prevail for us this week is one that we typically see during the summer. Temperatures should return to and a little above average for this time of year. Highs look to be in the low 90s for Sunday and warm up into the mid to upper 90s for next week. Even though temperatures shouldn't reach 100, it will feel like it when you factor in the humidity. Please remember to take it easy in the heat. Drink plenty of water. Dress in light colored, loose fitting clothing. Take breaks indoors in air conditioning or at least in the shade. With plenty of moisture in place, a stray shower or thunderstorm can't be completely ruled out. The chance though is less than slight.

Have a spectacular Sunday!
