Sunday Afternoon Update

From Meteorologist Nathan Motz....

More of the same across west central Texas this afternoon, widely scattered t-storms have developed across western Nolan and Mitchell counties as well as just to the east of the Big Country in Erath and Palo Pinto counties. Just like yesterday, these storms will diminish right around sunset.

As for your Labor Day forecast, it could be a little wet so if you have any outdoor plans, make sure that you bring the rain gear and have a backup plan ready. It shouldn't be a wash out at all, but any storm that develops tomorrow will have the potential to produce brief heavy rainfall.

Chances of rain will increase to 30% tomorrow and up to 40% on Tuesday as the upper level trough slides to the west into a more favorable location. As it does, it will allow moisture from the Gulf of Mexico to stream northward across the Big Country and showers and t-storms will become more numerous. By Tuesday, it does appear that there is at least a chance for some small scale flooding of low-lying areas due to the fact that we have already received so much rain this year. Be sure to watch the forecast tomorrow at 6 and 10 on KRBC as we will continue to provide further updates.

For the rest of the week, chances of rain decrease a little Wednesday through Friday but never really go away completely. By Saturday, it appears that we may be dealing with a cold front stalling in the area and chances of rain will probably need to be increase for next weekend as well.

Temperatures will remain a couple of degrees below seasonal normals throughout this upcoming week with high's in the upper 80's to near 90 and lows in the upper 60's.

Have a great day!!!
