Severe Weather Likely

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

I'm writing this at 12:25pm Sunday afternoon. Severe thunderstorms were already firing in Oklahoma and Kansas and a lone thundershower was located north of Snyder in our area.

STAY ALERT Sunday afternoon and Sunday night for rapidly changing weather conditions and know where you would go and what to do in the event of a severe weather outbreak in our area.

It is likely going to be a rough ride for a few of us in the KRBC viewing area with the potential for large hail, damaging wind and tornadoes. Of particular interest is the tornado threat which is in the moderate category while further north a high risk of large tornadoes exists in the eastern Texas Panhandle and southwest and central Oklahoma.

The environment for storms is such that damaging winds and large hail are possible, in addition to tornadoes.

Accompanying the thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight will be some heavy rain, a few inches where the heavier storms develop.

Bottom line - be ready to take action should severe weather threaten your area. The KRBC Weather Team is on duty monitoring the situation. Check the latest information by watching KRBC TV or Bigcountryhomepage.com.

Take care,

Randy
