Tuesday Evening Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The pleasant conditions continued for us here in the Big Country today. Highs were in the upper 70s to low 80s. Dewpoints were in the 40s and 50s which made it feel comfortable.

Warmer temperatures and higher dewpoints look to return to the area tomorrow. High pressure should still be control so skies will be mostly sunny. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 80s. With light winds from the south, dewpoints are expected to begin rising back towards the 60s. This means it won't feel quite as comfortable.

A cold front will move through the area Friday night into early Saturday morning. There is a slight chance of rain as the front passes, but we may not have enough moisture in place to see that much precipitation. Highs look to be in the upper 80s on Friday before cooling down to the low 80s for Saturday.

The front may stall to our south on Sunday. It could be just close enough to cause a few showers and thunderstorms in the southern portions of the viewing area. The chance for rain is slight. Highs will be in the mid 80s.

The early part of next week looks dry with highs in the upper 80s under partly cloudy skies.

Tropical Storm Humberto formed in the Gulf of Mexico today. It is expected to make landfall along the upper Texas coast later tonight. Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect from Port O'Connor, Texas to Intracoastal City, Louisiana. Rainfall amounts look to be 5 to 15 inches along the track of the storm. It will not affect the Big Country.

Have a terrific Thursday!
