Warm to Hot Rest of the Week

FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ...

WE SAW SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS, AND EVEN HAD ONE REPORT OF A TORNADO, IN NORTHERN HASKELL AND NORTHWESTERN THROCKMORTON COUNTY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AROUND 3:00PM.

THE STORMS FORMED IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING THROUGH THE AREA AND A COLD FRONT COMING INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST.

ELSEWHERE, DRY WEST WIND PREVAILED. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, I EXPECT SKIES TO BE MAINLY CLEAR WITH A FEW PASSING CLOUDS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD DROP INTO THE 50'S TONIGHT.

THE TREND, HOWEVER, IS FOR VERY WARM TEMPERATURES THE NEXT FEW DAYS, A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF MAY. THE NEXT COLD FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT WILL DROP TEMPERATURES BACK CLOSE TO 80 FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. RAIN CHANCES ARE SCARCE AT THIS TIME.

TONIGHT: CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY WITH MIDDLE 50'S. NORTHWEST 10 TO 15.

THURSDAY: SUNSHINE WITH MIDDLE TO UPPER 80'S. SOUTHWEST WIND 10 TO 15.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: SUNNY, LOW TO MID 90'S.
