Spring Pattern Brings Chances for T-Storms

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ..

This is being written around 3:00pm on Thursday and, at this time, no storms are showing up on KRBC Triple Doppler Radar. That doesn't mean storms won't "pop", because they could.

For the remainder of Thursday and into Friday, the chance of the area seeing storms remains around 20 percent.

Our focus shifts to a slightly better chance for thunderstorms from late Saturday into Saturday night. A cold front dropping into the area will increase the percentage to 40%.

This time of year, any storms which develops can become severe in a short period of time with large hail and damaging winds being the main threat.

Temperatures will get close to 90 degrees on Friday but with a cold front in the area by Saturday, temperatures will vary from the 70's in the northern viewing area to the 80's in the southern viewing area. Here in Abilene, 75 to 80 for your high on Saturday.

If you haven't checked out the new interactive radar on Bigcountryhomepage.com, feel free to do so and see how you like it.

Take care!!
