Cooler and Drier Conditions Are On The Way

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We saw plenty of cloud cover and some rain here in the Big Country today. A slow moving cold front finally exited the region this evening. That front brought scattered showers and thunderstorms to the area yesterday and today. Highs this afternoon were mainly in the upper 70s to low 80s. Brownwood and the southern portions of the viewing area were able to make it into the upper 80s and low 90s before the front arrived.

Another stronger cold front will move through the area tonight into tomorrow morning. This means we have a chance for more showers and thunderstorms. That chance is 60% tonight and 20% for tomorrow morning. All of the rain should be over by early afternoon on Tuesday. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 70s with clouds decreasing throughout the day.

Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be wonderful and terrific. Highs should be in the 80s with mostly sunny skies. It will feel a lot more comfortable with dewpoints in the 50s. Basically, conditions look to be picture perfect for the West Texas Fair and Rodeo on these days.

Another cold front may move through the area Friday night. Our chance for rain right now is only 20%. We may not have enough moisture back in the region in order for us to see showers and thunderstorms. Highs for Friday should be in the upper 80s, but cool down into the upper 70s on Saturday.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
