Friday Evening Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off cool early this morning with temperatures in the upper 30s to mid 40s, but by this afternoon we had warmed up into the low to mid 70s. Skies were mostly to partly cloudy thanks to an upper level low that is currently around west Texas and northern Mexico.

We have a slight chance of rain this weekend thanks to the upper level low moving across the southern portion of the Lone Star State. It looks like the best shot at seeing some showers will be in the southern part of the viewing area. More moisture should have returned to that area versus the rest of the Big Country. Highs this weekend are expected to be in the mid to upper 70s.

Monday and Tuesday will be dry with warm above average temperatures. Highs should be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Windy conditions are expected to return on Tuesday.

It will remain windy on Wednesday with the arrival of a strong cold front. This front looks to move through the area during the morning hours. Highs should be in the mid to upper 50s, but that will likely be in the morning with temperatures dropping through the day. There is a slight chance of rain for the middle of the week too.

We will continue a slight chance of precipitation for Thanksgiving. The reason it is only a slight chance is due to the possibility of a lack of moisture. It is expected to be a cold Turkey Day with temperatures starting off in the upper 20s to low 30s in the morning. Highs should be in the mid to upper 40s in the afternoon.

The cold air lingers into next Friday, the big shopping day, with highs in the mid 40s to 50. You will want to dress in layers with coats as you are going out for those early morning deals. Temperatures to start off the day will be in the upper 20s to low 30s.

Have a super Saturday!
