Front Arrives Today, Few Storms Possible:




Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* A warm morning with clouds conditions across the area The cold front arrives in the afternoon hours. Expect cloudy intervals and there will be a chance for a few thunderstorms. It looks like the best chance for a storm will be across the eastern half of the Big Country (we'll say U.S. 277 and eastward). A few storms could possibly be severe with high winds and large hail the main threats. With the front passage expect cooler weather with lows returning to the 50s and and highs in the upper 70s for the weekend. Clouds will increase by late weekend with rain chances returning for late Saturday and into next week. A tropical system off the Pacific coast of Mexico is forecasted to lift northward and what's left of it drifting across northern areas of Mexico and into West Texas. This will increase the rain chance for the area. Stay tuned as we track this system.
