Dry Today, Storms Arrive Tonight:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

***There is a slight risk for severe weather for tonight across the Northern Big Country area... north of US 380 or a Haskell to Throckmorton line and northward. An isolated severe storm or two could be possible north of I-20 as well***

* The forecast will be dry through the daytime hours as the cap will hold throughout the day with a lack of a boundary to help kick off storms. The dry line will remain well to our west across the Permian Basin for today so the forecast today will be partly cloudy and hot.

* Thunderstorms will be possible tonight across the Big Country as a cold front drops into our area. The best chances for thunderstorms, some of which could be severe, will be north of Interstate 20 where the front should stall out by morning. Storms will remain in place across our area through the morning hours. Model runs are suggesting a complex of storms will develop and drop south and eastward overnight into the early morning hours.

* The front will stay stalled the next day or two and eventually dissipate as a upper level heat ridge builds in from south and western Texas and will bring hot and dry weather back to the Big Country, Heartland, and Northern Concho Valley as we head toward the weekend.
