Wednesday Evening Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Mostly cloudy skies dominated much of the Big Country today. This helped keep our highs in the mid 80s to 90 which is a little below average for this time of year. There were a few showers in the extreme southern and southeastern portions of the viewing area this afternoon.

Hurricane Henriette will be making a second landfall in mainland Mexico this evening. The storm is expected to move north into New Mexico tomorrow. Some of the moisture from Henriette will likely end up in our area. We can expect the muggy conditions and mostly cloudy skies to continue. With the moisture from this storm in the region, we could see some isolated showers and thunderstorms Thursday and Friday. The chance for rain is 20%. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 80s.

A cold front looks to move close to us this weekend. It is expected to stall around the Red River area. What is left of Henriette could move along this front. The chance for rain Saturday and Sunday is 30%. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 80s.

Another cold front is expected by to arrive in the area Monday into early Tuesday. This will keep our chance for rain at 30%. Temperatures should be a little cooler with highs in the low to mid 80s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
