Severe Storm Chances Increasing

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

After another cool day across the Big Country, things will be nowhere near as calm Friday. Unfortunately we are looking at the possibility of severe thunderstorms across all of the KRBC viewing area.

For the rest of tonight expect mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance of a few thunderstorms late. Overnight lows will be much milder running from the lower to middle 60s.

For Friday, expect strong thunderstorms to begin as early as the lunch hour, but the best chances will be late in the afternoon and into the evening. Damaging winds will likely be the biggest threat with this system. Moderate to large hail will be possible, as well as isolated tornados. We could see storms strong enough that you might want to go ahead and bring the garbage can in and secure any outdoor furniture or decorations.

By Saturday, the storms will be a thing of the past as well see clearing skies and highs in the lower to middle 70s.

Sunday through Tuesday looks dry, with highs in the lower 80s.

Tuesday afternoon through Thursday we will see slight chances of thunderstorms.

Stay tuned to KRBC for the most up to date information as severe weather threatens the Big Country.
