Rain Possible For Part Of The Weekend

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We have had above average temperatures and mostly cloudy skies throughout the day here in the Big Country. Temperatures started out in mid 50s this morning and only warmed up into the mid to upper 60s this afternoon. Some showers moved through portions of the area around lunchtime, but there was very little, if any, accumulation.

An upper level low continues to sit around the Baja California region. This low will get caught up in a developing upper level trough in the western part of the country. We will have some upper level disturbances move across the area tonight and tomorrow. There is a 50% chance of showers due to these lifting mechanisms moving over an airmass that has become more saturated today. A few thunderstorms can't be ruled out, but they are unlikely. It will be windy tomorrow due to a surface low pressure system developing over the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. We can expect sustained south winds of 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts throughout the day. Highs look to be in the low 70s.

There is a slight chance of some lingering showers early Sunday as a cold front moves across the region. Highs look to be in the upper 60s to low 70s. The colder air behind the front is not expected to really filter in until the afternoon and evening. Winds will be lighter, but it should still be breezy.

Monday will be cooler and dry with highs in the low 60s.

Tuesday and Wednesday should be warmer with highs in the upper 60s under mostly sunny skies.

Have a super Saturday!
