Severe Thunderstorms Possible Tomorrow

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Sorry for the late update, but it has been a busy evening here in the weather center. Strong to severe thunderstorms have rolled through portions of the viewing area dropping penny to quarter size hail and winds in excess of 60 mph. They should continue to move through the area overnight tonight.

More strong to severe thunderstorms are possible again tomorrow in the Big Country due to an upper level low pressure trough that is bringing some disturbances with it. We are under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms according to the Storm Prediction Center. The main threats will be large hail and damaging winds. Our chance for rain is 30%.

The trough should begin to exit the region late Sunday. We could still see more showers and thunderstorms. Right now that chance is 20%.

There is a slight chance of rain on Monday and Tuesday for the eastern communities due to lingering moisture and a possible disturbance.

By Wednesday, rain chances come to an end and an upper level high pressure ridge begins to build back into the area.

Highs for the next seven days look to be in the low to mid 90s with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s.
