Thunderstorms Possible Today

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off mild this morning with temperatures in the upper 50s to mid 60s. It looks like it will be another warm afternoon with highs in the low to mid 80s. Windy conditions should continue with winds from the south-southwest at 15 to 25 mph. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible late this afternoon and evening thanks to the dryline that will move through the Big Country. Some of these storms could be severe with the main threats being large hail and damaging winds. Tornadoes do not look likely.

The chance for showers and thunderstorms continues tonight as a cold front gets pushed through the area by an upper level trough. Right now, the chance for rain is about 20% to 30%. The best chance of rain looks to be in the central and eastern portions of the viewing area. We'll keep an eye on things here in the weather center and let you know if anything becomes severe today or tonight.

Tomorrow should be cooler, but still mild. Highs will be in the low 70s. Windy conditions are expected with winds from the west-northwest at 20 to 30 mph. Low relative humidity values are likely, so a Fire Weather Watch is already in effect for most of the area for Thursday. We all need to be careful and continue to follow all the necessary precautions in order to prevent fires.

Friday through Monday look nice with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
