Nice Weekend Ahead... Heat Cranks Up Next Week:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Cool temperatures and overcast conditons this morning across the Big County, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley with a few widely scattered showers. A disturbance still sits over the Trans-Pecos/Northern Rio Grande Valley off to our west and southwest and will stay parked the next few days helping keep clouds in the forecast. A gradual warming trend over the weekend with 80s returning to the area.

* Next week looks to be a very hot week for West Texas. A ridge that has been in place over the West Coast will amplify eastward and will bring very warm temperatures to West Texas. I think for may areas, this could be our first triple digit heat of the season. Highs will climb into the middle to upper 90s on Monday with upper 90s to near 100 in spots through the end of next week.

* Other than the spotty showers here early this morning (Friday), the forecast for West Texas looks dry through the next week.
