Another Round Of Storms:




Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* The secondary round of storms we were anticipating late yesterday and last night never materialized. A weak cold front has dropped through the Big Country overnight so it's a bit cooler outside and not so humid but that will change as ther go through the day.

* Clouds will be on the increase today ahead of another upper level shortwave disturbance that will move into Texas later today and tonight. This feature will enhance the chances for showers and thunderstorms later today and overnight. We'll also be watching the dryline later today for any development. Another round of thunderstorms is likley on Wednesday across the area with another disturbance making its way through the region.

* Areas across the Northern Concho Valley and the Heartland will have to pay close attention the next two days for flash floooding as these areas saw several inches of rainfall back on Monday.

* Severe Weather Threat: The Storm Predition Center has all areas to the west of Throckmorton to Cisco to Brownwood line under a "slight risk" for severe weather today and all of our area is outlined for a "slight risk" for tomorrow. The primary threats will be large hail and damaging winds, but we can' rule out an isolated tornado.

* A brief dry period will arrive on Thursday and Friday before another storm system and front will bring another shot at rain and storms over the weekend for West Central Texas.

* Join us on television this morning for the lastst on your forecast as well as news from around Abilene and the Big Country on KRBC's Abilene Today at 6:00 AM and on Abilene Midday at 11:30 AM.
