Hot & Windy, Thunderstorms Return:

Happy Memorial Day and Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Another hot and windy day across our area to start this short work week for many of us. An area of clouds will make their way across the region this morning, but expect a partly cloudy sky after the morning clouds pass and break up. The dryline will advance into the Western Big Country as we get into the afternoon and we could see isolated strong storms develop along and east of the dryline this afternoon and storm could last into the evening.

* A cold front will slip into our area Tuesday night/early Wednesday and bring a better chance of rain and thunderstorms overnight and early Wednesday morning. Forecast model runs are suggesting a complex of storms may move into the Big Country, which could mean some badly needed rainfall for the area.

* Here is the severe weather outlook from our friends at the NWS/San Angelo:

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OFF A DRYLINE IN THE PERMIAN BASIN THIS AFTERNOON...MAY MOVE NORTHEAST INTO WEST CENTRAL TEXAS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT.
