Thunderstorms Today:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* The cluster of strong to severe storms is moving just to our north this morning across Texoma bringing some severe weather to the Vernon and Wichita Falls area. This complex should stay to our north and hug the Red River the rest of the morning.

* Clouds will remain in place today ahead of another upper level shortwave disturbance that will move into Texas later today and tonight. This feature will help enhance showers and thunderstorms later today and overnight. The storms, if and when they do develop, will last into the evening and should be gone by daybreak.

* Severe Weather Threat: The Storm Predition Center has all areas to the west of West Central Texas under a "slight risk" for severe weather today. The primary threats will be large hail and damaging winds, but we can' rule out an isolated tornado. Now having said that, the clouds could play a factor in storm development today. Yesterday the clouds hanged around all day so we didn't see much sunshine and not much instability developed.

* 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.
