Isolated Strong Storms Today:




Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Rain Chances Today & Tonight: A warm front will lift north across the area today bringing moist and unstable air to the Big Country. At the same time the dryline will sharpen out west and creep into the western counties. The combination of the warm front nearby, the dryline and very warm temperatures will initiate isolated thunderstorms. The atmosphere will be primed with instability so any storms that form could be severe. A few storms could linger or develop into the evening but should be gone by late tonight:

* The Mercury Rises: * A heat ridge over Mexico will continue to build northward across Texas. Highs spreading daytime highs well into the 90s the rest of the work week. Thursday will be the warmest day with highs in the upper 90s with a few slots into to the low 100s. Also looking warm on Friday with middle and upper 90s in the area.Lows at night will be muggy into the middle and upper 60s.

* Looking Ahead: Highs will drop back into the middle 80s over the weekend with a slight chance for storms late Saturday night and early on Sunday. Next week will start on a dry note.
