Monday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We began slightly mild and muggy this morning. By this afternoon, it will be hot as highs should reach the upper 80s to low 90s. There is a 20% chance of isolated afternoon thunderstorms. With the amount of moisture we have in place combined with the heat of the day, a few thunderstorms will likely fire up along the dryline which is expected to move eastward into our area by the mid to late afternoon hours. Some of this storm activity could linger into the evening, but should die down as we lose the heating of the day. Some of these storms could reach severe limits with the main threats being large hail and damaging winds. We are not expecting today to be anything like last Friday.

Tomorrow should be similar to today with highs in the mid 90s. The 20% chance of some isolated thunderstorms will continue due to the dryline remaining active in the Big Country. Some of these storms could reach severe limits.

A cold front should arrive on Wednesday cooling our highs down into the low 80s. There is a question as to whether or not enough moisture will be in place when the front moves through the area. So, for now, I don't have any rain chances in the forecast, but that could change.

Thursday and Friday look mostly sunny and dry with highs in the low 80s.

Moisture begins to return by this weekend, so there is a slight chance of rain on Sunday with the arrival of an upper level disturbance.

As always, we will keep an eye on the severe weather possibility this afternoon and evening. Keep it tuned to KRBC for the latest weather updates.
