Rain Chances Continue

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Showers and thunderstorms developed across the Big Country again today. None of the storms reached severe levels, but there was some heavy rainfall at times. Abilene Regional Airport reported 0.14", but there were some locations that received over half an inch. Highs today were in the 80s which is below average for this time of year.

The upper level low that has been responsible for our rain this week will continue to weaken as it moves off to the west. This doesn't mean an end to our chance for rain. In fact, we will see the possiblity of more precipitaiton during the entire work week. All of the necessary ingredients will be in place. One, moisture is expected to remain with us. Two, instability will arrive each and every day due to daytime heating. The final piece of the puzzle is lift. We should have that with occasional upper level disturbances moving into the region. Another lifting mechanism will be outflow boundaries from any thunderstorm activity that develops. Our chance for rain is 30% to 40% Monday through Friday. Highs should be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Have a magnificent Monday!
