Good Morning from Meterologist Chris Whited...
* A band of showers and thunderstorms continues across the Heartland and northern areas of the Concho Valley this morning. At the time I'm blogging this, the Brownwood airport has recorded 2.26" of rainfall and 0.93" at the airport in Comanche. [Update here at 10:30 AM... officially Brownwood picked up 3.75" of rainfall since midnight! Comanche has picked up 1.68" of rainfall. Not a drop for Abilene...] Expect some areas of flooding along small streams and arroyos in that area this morning. Most of the activity is along and south of U.S. Highway 67. Most of this activity will move out of the southern viewing area by mid-morning. Otherwise, just cloudy and humid across the Abilene area, as well as Sweetwater, Anson, Haskell, Rotan and Albany.
* Scattered thunderstorms will be possible across the Big Country today. I'm putting the rain chance at about 30% in my forecast package this morning for the area. Any storms that do develop could produce some quick heavy rainfall. Isolated storms will remain in the forecast for tonight and Tuesday. Highs today only in the middle and upper 80s thanks to the clouds and rain chances, lows tonight near 70. Fewer storms and less clouds will allow us to warm up Tuesday into the middle 90s.
* Heat ridge really building in this week again from the east over Texas with some very hot temperatures by the later half of the week for the Big Country. Highs between 100-105° (perhaps some spots even warmer) are possible Wednesday - Saturday with mostly sunny conditions. Heat ridge and high in place will keep the air sinking so no rain chances in the forecast later this week.
* Join us on television this morning for the lastest on your forecast as well as news from around Abilene & the Big Country on KRBC's Abilene Today at 6:00 AM and on Abilene Midday at 11:30AM.
