Storms Possible Again Wednesday

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

After the Monday night system produced more heartaches than rain, we'll reload and try again on Wednesday. The cold front which moved through Tuesday will stall and return to the north as a warm front on Wednesday. The front brings more moisture and instability back to the KRBC viewing area which is why there is a 30 percent chance for thunderstorms in the forecast in Abilene on Wednesday.

If you live south and east of Abilene, you'll have a better chance for thunderstorms. Some storms Wednesday may become severe, which is why the Storm Prediction Center has placed our area under a Slight Risk for severe weather.

Once the storm chance is over by Wednesday night, get ready for the west wind to howl on Thursday. But a warm west wind will also push the temperatures into the 80's.

Don't get use to the warmth because another cold front early Friday will keep highs in the 50's on Friday !!! Friday night, I'm forecasting a low of 34 but some areas across the northern Big Country could flirt with a freeze, so take care of tender vegetation. The front on Friday will bring mainly our northern counties a slight chance for rain.

A warming trend begins Saturday and continues with dry weather into early next week.
