Strong to Severe Thunderstorms Likely Today

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are starting off mild and muggy this morning with temperatures in the low to mid 60s. The upper level low that we have been talking about for most of the week will be moving into the region later today. A dryline will develop and move through the area as well. With plenty of moisture in place, the chance for showers and thunderstorms is looking very good at 80%. There should be enough instability for strong to severe thunderstorms. In fact, the Storm Predicition Center has us under a moderate risk for today. The main threats will be large hail and damaging winds. A few isolated tornadoes are possible too. Highs today will be in the mid to upper 70s. Breezy conditions are also expected through the day.

The strong to severe thunderstorms will likely continue tonight. A squall line may possible set up out west and move across the Big Country. The chance for rain is 80%. Breezy conditions will continue with winds shifting from the south to the northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

There could be a few lingering showers or storms very early tomorrow morning. Overall though, Saturday should be nice with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid 70s.

We continue drying out and warming up Sunday through Tuesday with highs in the low to mid 80s.

Another shot of rain is possible Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the low 80s.

Stay tuned to KRBC throughout the day and tonight. We will keep you up to date on the latest severe weather information.
