A Stormy Start To The Week...

Good morning from KRBC meteorologist Stephanie Malone...

Well, a stormy start to the week with storms last night and this morning as a cold front pushed through the area. A chance for scattered storms is going to continue throughout the day. Tomorrow, another disturbance will make it's way into the Big Country causing a chance for storms Wednesday and Thursday. We get a brief break from the rain Friday, but Hurricane Ike could bring more rain this weekend.

With all of the rain, we will be seeing cooler temperatures. Fall like temperatures will continue through Tuesday with a high of 78, but through the rest of the 7 day forecast we will be seeing highs in the mid to upper 80's and lows in the upper 60's.

We are not only tracking storms at land, but also at sea...

Hurricane Ike will make it's way across western Cuba today and be in the eastern gulf by Wednesday. Once over the gulf the hurricane will pick up strength from the warm waters and trek northwestard. For now, the hurricane is forecasted to make landfall along south Texas as a category 3 hurricane. We will be tracking Ike and continue to give you updates on the projected path as they come in.

Don't forget your umbrellas today, and everyone have a great day!
