Showers & Thunderstorms Possible

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had a windy day across the Big Country with sustained winds ranging from 20 t0 30 mph from the southeast. It was a little cooler today thanks to clouds that streamed into the area. Highs were in the upper 60s to low 70s.

An upper level low is currently moving through Arizona. It is expected to make its way towards and through the area over the next 18 to 24 hours. A surface low currently near the New Mexico/Colorado border will move north of the area tomorrow, but drag a weak cold front/wind shift line through the Big Country. A dryline may develop ahead of this boundary as well. With moisture expected to be back in place by the time each of these lifting mechanisms reaches us, we have a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms tonight and 40% for tomorrow. Some of the storms we see see could be strong and possibly severe Tuesday. The north and northeastern portions of the viewing area are under a slight risk for severe weather according to the Storm Predicition Center. The main threat looks to be large hail. Highs tomorrow should be in the low 70s.

Wednesday is expected to be dry with highs in the mid 70s under partly cloudy skies.

The second half of the week including the weekend will be warm with highs in the low to mid 80s. There is a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday due to the dryline possibly being active.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
