Changes Are Coming:



* Here is the lastest drought information for the area *


Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* For the latest information on the fire in Jones County, please visit the main page or the KRBC News page on bigcountryhomepage.com Stephanie has just informed me that fire is 100% contained which is great news. As Randy mentioned on here yesterday, a big thank you from myself as well to all the volunteer fire departments from across the area who have been working day and night since lunchtime yesterday fighting the fire in Jones County.

* Another very warm day across the Big Country today with highs climbing into the upper 70s with a few low 80s across the areas south of I-20. The cold front will move into the northern counties by early afternoon and will be near the I-20 corridor by the drive home in the afternoon (5-6PM). Sharp cool down expected as lows tonight drop near freezing and highs on Saturday only in the middle to upper
40s.

* Fire Weather: There are no active fire weather advisories for the Big Country but having said that, it will be warm and windy today so elevated fire weather concerns will continue for the day today. Winds will shift from the southwest to north as the front comes in today and we're expecting winds between 15 to 25 mph.

* Rain Chances: Rain chances still being showing up on the forecast model runs this morning for Monday and Tuesday. Don't expect a good soaking rain as this is just a small rain chance but with moderate and severe drought in place, we'll take what we can get.

Have a great Thursday!
