Isolated Storms Today, Fire Threat Afternoon

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Watching the radar early this morning for thunderstorms but so far as of the time I am writing this just after 5:00, things are quiet. Dryline sits well back to our west with dewpoints this morning in the 50s and 60s across the area and temperatures in the lower 70s.

* Today: The dryline will advance eastward as we go through the day and will fire off a few thunderstorms in areas. The best chance for storms will be across the eastern areas of West Central Texas...roughly along and east of US 283. There is a slight risk of severe storms across the eastern parts of the KRBC viewing area as we go into the day. Isolated storms across the Big Country could be severe today as well. As the dryline moves though the area, the fire danger will begin to elevate across the area. Red Flag Warnings are in place over the Permian Basin this morning. It will be warm today with highs in the lower and middle 80s. Rain Chances: 20% for most of the area with 30-40% chances east of US 283. Winds will be southwesterly at 15-25 mph.

* Tonight: Mostly clear and cooler across the area with lows in the middle 40s and winds easing back some to 5-15 from the southwest.

* Tuesday: A cold front will move across West Central Texas and allow for a cooler day with highs in the lowe to middle 70s and winds switching to the north at 10-20 mph.

* Have a good Monday...
