Storm Chance Through Wednesday AM

FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ...

MOST OF THE BIG COUNTRY WILL BE IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 10:00PM. FACTORS SUCH AS AN APPROACHING COOL FRONT AND DRY LINE WILL HELP CREATE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN ABILENE AND THE RED RIVER. THOSE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTH WITH THE FRONT DURING THE NIGHT. SOME STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE AND PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY AMOUNTS OF RAIN. HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND IS THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.

THE STORMS SHOULD LINGER IN THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING THEN MOVE OUT OF THE AREA. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE RAIN IS GONE FROM THE FORECAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. A VERY HOT AND DRY END OF THE WEEK AND WEEKEND IS ANTICIPATED.

TONIGHT: A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WITH A 50% CHANCE FOR STORMS, LOW NEAR 68. EAST WIND 10 TO 15.

WEDNESDAY: MORNING SHOWERS AND STORMS, THEN PARTLY CLOUDY THE REST OF THE DAY, HIGH 89. SOUTHEAST WIND 10 TO 20.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: PARTLY CLOUDY AND 69.

THURSDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY, HIGH 92.
