Monday Morning Forecast

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly....

Record rainfall caused flooding across our area as creeks could not hold the 5 to over 10 inches of rain we saw in just 36 hours. The good news is we should have a break for a few days.

Yesterday the sunshine returned to the Big Country as it became warm and muggy. For the next few days we will continue to see a lot more sunshine but the humidity will help to make the heat indices reach into the upper 90's to low 100's. The winds will kick up gusting up to 25 mph thanks to a trough in the Panhandle. Through the middle of the week we will keep the rain away but by Wednesday an upper level low that is in the Gulf of Mexico could help to bring more moisture our way along with helping to bring convection for a few showers.

We will keep the rain chances at twenty percent through Friday dropping them back to slight by the weekend. We are keeping an eye on Hurricane Dean, still a strong category 4 storm. Consistent model runs have brought it south into Mexico, if it stays on this course this will help to keep our rain chances limited.

Have a great day!
