Rain Chance Looks Good

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

Thunderstorms remain in your forecast through Wednesday. By mid-afternoon Monday, thunderstorms were already developing in the Texas Panhandle. Those should slowly move southeast and make their way through the Big Country tonight.

On Tuesday, afternoon heating ahead of a cold front should lead to enough instability to create another round of thunderstorms.

Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, a cold front will drop into the area which means another round of thunderstorms. During the day Wednesday, showers and storms are expected.

This time of year, with the upper level winds much lighter, the storms will tend to move slowly, dumping heavy rain wherever they travel.

Some storms on Tuesday also have the potential to become severe with hail and high wind the primary threats. Lightning is also a constant danger with these storms, so make sure you take shelter inside a sturdy building where it's safer.

Flash Flooding may become an issue as well through Wednesday.

By Thursday, a drier pattern sets up for the weekend.
