Scattered Thunderstorms Today:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Weak cold front just north of the Big Country early this morning and will slowly drop southward into the day. The front should be along the I-20 corridor by mid-morning. Scattered showers and a few isolated storms have developed ahead of the front across the counties north of I-20 this morning. An upper level disturbance will more in later today and will help enhance the chances for scattered rains across the area. Much cooler today with the rain and clouds at times. Highs will range between 90-95° and overnight lows tonight into the upper 60s/lower 70s. There is still a slight chance for a storm or two tonight and during the day on Friday.

* Weekend Outlook: Pleasant weather ahead for the area as the northly flow will help ease back temperatures into the upper 80s and lower 90s. Very confortable at night with lows into the upper 60s (so most of us can give the a.c. a bit of a break!). We can thank another weak front for helping bring some of the cooler weather. Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions.

* Next Week: Another system/front will work into the area early next week and will bring rain chances back into the area for Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will not change much as we will remain in the upper 80s/low 90s for highs and overnight lows into the 60s.
