Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Severe weather looks like a good possibility again today. Already this morning we have had a thunderstorm reach severe limits with half dollar size hail reported in Sweetwater. There are a few thunderstorms in Coke and Runnels counties as I write this. They should continue to weaken as they move to the northeast.

The break from the showers and storms won't be long since more are expected to develop by the mid to late afternoon hours and last into the evening. Today will pretty much be a repeat of the last couple of days. The rain chance is a little better though at 60%. We are once again under a slight risk for severe weather according to the Storm Predicition Center. Large hail and damaging winds look to be the main threats. A few tornadoes can't be ruled out. Highs should only reach the mid 70s.

We'll probably see some showers and storms linger into tomorrow. Our chance for rain on Saturday is 30%. Skies will be mostly cloudy with highs in the mid 70s.

Sunday should be dry during the day and a little warmer with highs in the upper 70s. By Sunday night and into Monday, an upper level disturbance is expected to bring us a 20% chance of more rain. Highs will climb into the mid 80s to start the new work week.

Tuesday looks to be hot and dry with highs in the low 90s.

We will continue to keep an eye on things here in the weather center today with the severe weather threat continuing. Keep it tuned to KRBC for the latest weather updates.
