Warmer and sunnier as we move through the week

Warmer and sunnier as we move through the week

It looks like the rain/drizzle is finally over. The clouds are starting to break and we're already seeing patches of blue skies and sunshine across Midland. While these conditions are true for most in the basin, the Davis Mountains and surrounding area are still under overcast skies along with patchy drizzle. Thanks to increased sunshine, we'll likely hit at least 60 this afternoon in Midland/Odessa.

Tonight looks chilly, with lows near 40 across the Permian Basin. Dense fog is a possibility in the morning as it usually is after a few days of rain. Tomorrow afternoon looks awesome as temperatures soar into the mid-60's under slightly more sun than today. No drizzle/rain is expected except for in the higher elevations. By Wednesday the trough of low-pressure sitting over Southern Cal, finally slides east, bringing a dryline through our area Wednesday evening. This could spark up some thunderstorms although overall coverage looks pretty low.

We really warm up towards this weekend with low-80s expected on Friday. Calm, dry conditions should be present from Thursday through Sunday as high pressure settles in. We have our next disturbance moving in early next week although this is still a long way away and subject to change. Stay tuned for updates!
