Storm Potential This Afternoon and Tonight

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

It's going to be a stormy afternoon for some residents of the Big Country, especially along and north of I-20. The dry line approaching from the West, a cold front trying to make it into our area from the north and the 90-plus degree heat is why storms are expected to fire up.

Once they do, they will be capable of producing large hail and damaging wind. Hail to golfball size or larger will be possible. Winds of 60 or higher will be possible. Locally heavy downpours and dangerous lightning strikes are also expected.

The storms will likely move 10 to 20 miles per hour in an east or northeasterly direction.

Stay alert to rapidly changing weather conditions late this afternoon and tonight.

Tuesday and Wednesday, we will continue to see a slight chance for a late day storm or two.
