Storms Possible Friday and Saturday

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

Severe thunderstorms affected Callahan, Eastland, Brown and Comanche County Thursday afternoon. Those areas, along with others, could see more storms develop on Friday afternoon.

In addition, I've added a 30 percent chance for storms on Saturday, which is a change from my previous forecast on Wednesday. Reason being a weak frontal boundary progged to drop into the northern Big Country. I also am a little concerned that areas that receive rain Saturday will see a potential of flooding, so we will keep an eye on that potential.

Friday and Saturday, any storm which develops, will be capable of producing severe weather, primarily large hail and damaging wind in excess of 60mph. Isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out.

Now to the temperatures. Mid to upper 90's here in Abilene look good for Friday. Humidity will be high too, so hot and steamy best describes our weather.

We'll likely see some 100 plus temperatures in western and southern counties of the KRBC viewing area. Case in point, San Angelo hit 107 degrees on Thursday, one degree away from a record for the date.

Hot and humid, afternoon and evening storms possible, some severe, going into the weekend.
