Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Warming Trend Coming: After a cool Sunday, we will start a warming trend today with highs climbing into the middle 70s across the area. Clouds will be on the increase as well today and tonight. A warm front will move up into the area overnight and will be north of the Big Country on Tuesday. This will bring very warm air into the area as a heat ridge builds northward from Mexico across Texas. Highs tomorrow jump into the middle 90s and we stay in the lower to middle 90s through the weekend. Thursday will be the warmest day with highs in the upper 90s. Lows at night will be muggy into the lower and middle 60s.
* Rain Chances Tuesday: A warm front will move up into the area overnight and will be north of the Big Country on Tuesday. At the same time the dryline will sharpen out west and creep into the western counties. The combination of the warm front nearby, the dryline and very warm temperatures could initiate thunderstorms. The atmosphere will be primed with instability so any storms that form could be severe.
* Severe Weather Threat: The SPC has the Big Country outlined for a "slight" risk of severe weather on Tuesday. The main threats would be large hail, damaging winds and an isolated tornado. Stay tuned for updates from the KRBC Weather Lab.
* Looking Ahead: As mentioned above the hot weather will dominate the weather headlines this week as well as dry weather conditions.
