T-Storm Potential Tonight

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

The center of a big storm system was swirling in central Nebraska this afternoon. The main instability created by this system will remain north, but I'm still looking for thunderstorms to develop late tonight and into the early morning hours Tuesday.

The southern edge of a jet stream, an eastward advancing dry line and an eastward advancing cold front will help create instability in our area tonight, giving us the potential for storms. The areas favored to see storms are north of I-20 initially, then Abilene eastward. The western Big Country counties have less of a chance.

Tuesday morning, after any leftover storms move east, we'll get back to partly cloudy to sunny conditions. With a northwest wind 5 to 15, temperatures should warm to the middle 70's.

Wednesday brings an interesting scenario as another upper disturbance moves rapidly through the area which gives us another slight chance for thunderstorms.

Another cold front on Friday will bring a slight chance for storms once again.
