More Welcomed Rain

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner.....

I'm writing this update at 3:10pm on Wednesday and watching Triple Doppler radar continue to show a line of thunderstorms stretching from Lubbock to Sweetwater to south of San Angelo, marching east.

Storms will affect Abilene and the majority of the KRBC viewing area throughout the evening. Locally heavy downpours in some storms may produce flash flooding. The main threat from the storms is heavy rain and gusty wind but no tornadoes are expected.

After off and on rain tonight, we should see a gradual decrease in rain early Thursday then transition into a couple of typical summer days Friday and Saturday, hot and dry.

By Sunday, another frontal system approaches form the north, clouds increase, chance for rain returns by Sunday and temperatures drop again as a result.

Wednesday Night: Rain likely, mid to upper 60's.
Thursday: Morning rain, then partly cloudy, high near 90.
Friday: Mostly sunny and 96.
Saturday: Partly cloudy, 97-100.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy, slight chance for rain, low to mid 90's.
