Increasing Rain Chances:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* A weak front/outflow boundary sits to the west today and will be a focal point for isolated storms late this afternoon across the Big Country. Highs will be warm into the upper 80s and lows tonight in the lower 60s.

* A secondary cold front is forecasted to drop in from the north on late tonightinto early Wednesday and will be a lifting factor to develop more showers and storms for the Big Country. Will increase the rain chance to about a 50% for tonight. Rain will linger into Wednesday morning with an isolated storm late afternoon.

* Late Week/Weekend: It looks dry from midweek and into next weekend. Average high temperatures with highs in the middle and upper 80s and lows in the middle 60s.

* Drought Update: These rains we are seeing are slowly helping improve the drought a little. The latest update of the US Drought monitor has severe conditions across the central core of the Big Country, extreme conditions across the far Northern and Northeastern Big Country while the rest of the area Eastern/Western Big Country, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley have dropped back to moderate conditions.
