Another Hot & Windy Day:

Good Morning From KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

***Red Flag Warning in effect this afternoon for Fisher & Nolan County for this afternoon***

***Fire Weather Watch in effect this afternoon for Scurry & Mitchell County for this afternoon***


* A deepening surface low out west will help keep a tight pressure gradient in place over West Texas so more windy and warm conditions for the entire area. In addition. drier air moving into the Western Big Country and will combine with hot temperatures giving those areas relative humidity values of less than 20 percent. Elevated Fire Weather conditions will remain in place over the area... especially the Western Big Country and into the Permian Basin.

* A slight chance of thunderstorms will blanket the forecast through the holiday weekend as small disturbances will rotate around the upper low out west and interact with moisture over Texas helping increase a chance for a storm. Any storm that does develop could be strong or possibly severe. It doesn't look like a good soaking for the next 5 day... just hit and miss thunderstorms.
