More Heat - A Few Places See Rain

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

A few areas will see rain, but not many. The pattern continues to have high pressure as our dominant weather feature - but a low pressure trough which is stuck in our area also provides the needed lift to interact with afternoon heating to create scattered showers and storms.

At night, a low level jet stream also adds some moisture to the equation which allows some storms to persist into the overnight hours.

Storms that develop will typically move very slowly this time of year, due to lack of any significant upper level steering winds. Therefore, localized areas can see some heavy rainfall - but most areas miss out entirely. such is summer weather here in the Big Country.

Thursday and Friday: A 20% chance for storms, otherwise partly cloudy and hot with highs near 100. Nighttime lows near 75.

Saturday through next Wednesday: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny, daily highs upper 90's, overnight lows middle 70's.
