Monday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK has issued a severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 11:00 p.m. for Brown, Callahan, Coleman, Eastland, Haskell, Jones, Runnels, Shackelford, Stephens, Taylor and Throckmorton counties. A severe thunderstorm watch means that conditions are favorable for strong thunderstorms containing large hail and damaging winds to develop.

A weak cold front will enter the Big Country tonight and that, combined with the hot temperatures is what is causing the chance for thunderstorms. This front will wash out in the Big Country tonight and act as a focussing mechanism for thunderstorms once again tomorrow.

By Thursday, the dryline looks to possibly fire off a few thunderstorms.

Then Friday, another cold front, this one a bit strong, will push into the area and bring thunderstorm chances for Friday and Saturday.
