Thursday Evening Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Warm to hot temperatures were experienced in the Big Country today with highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms developed during the day. Strong thunderstorms have formed and remain to our north and west this evening. Most of this activity should stay out of the area. However, some rain could make it into the western and northern portions of the viewing area later tonight.

A cold front is expected to stall north of us in the Texas panhandle and southern Oklahoma tomorrow through the weekend. The remnants of Hurricane Henriette are expected to move along this front during that time period. The chance for showers and thunderstorms is 30% with the best chance being in the northern communties. Highs look to be in the upper 80s.

A stronger cold front is expected to move through the region Monday night into early Tuesday. This will bring us a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms. It is possible for us to see some severe weather with this front. The air behind it looks to be significantly cooler and drier so it will be clashing with the warm and moist air ahead of it. Highs on Monday should be in the upper 80s, but cool down to upper 70s and low 80s on Tuesday.

Wednesday and next Thursday look to be dry with highs in the low to mid 80s under mostly sunny skies.

Have a fantastic Friday!
