Strong To Severe Storms This Weekend:




Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* A cold front move into the area overnight and has cooled us down. Another good note is the winds have died off a good bit so only a light north breeze today compared to those howling west and southwest winds yesterday. Highs today will be near 70° with lows tonight back into the middle 40s. On Saturday we'll see an increase in clouds with higihs once again near 70° with an east to southeast wind.

* Weekend: We're still anticipating thunderstorms across the area for late Saturday and into the day on Sunday. The model runs still has a strong low pressure sweeping right over West Central Texas late Saturday night and into Sunday morning. Some scattered storms will be possible Saturday evening but it still looks like the main window for storms will be between midnight and about mid-morning on Sunday. The Storm Predicition Center has all of the viewing area outlined in a "slight" risk for severe storms for the period. Stay tuned to KRBC over the weekend for updates on the storm threat.

* Next Week: For now it looks warm, windy and dry. Highs will climb back well into the 80s before another front arrives and brings a bit of a cool down by late Wednesday and Thursday.
