Wednesday Afternoon Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Pleasant conditions continued for the Big Country today. Highs were in the low to mid 80s under mostly sunny skies. Dewpoints were in the 40s and 50s so it felt comfortable.

It looks like we can expect more of the same as we head through the end of the work week. High pressure should remain in control and keep us dry. Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 80s tomorrow and Friday. Dewpoints should be up a little bit due to southeast winds bringing a little more moisture back into the region.

An upper level trough will likely move across the central and southern plains late Saturday through Sunday. This will increase our chance for rain beginning Saturday night. That chance is 20%. It is possible that the dryline may setup this weekend and move into the area, so there could be some strong to severe thunderstorms during this time period. Highs should be in the mid 80s.

A cold front is expected to move through the area on Monday. A 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue for the start of the work week. Highs should be in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Tuesday and next Wednesday look dry for now with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
