Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Just as we saw on Monday, expect a few scattered showers and thundestorms across the Big Country today. Storms that do develop will not move much and isolated areas of locally heavy rainfall are possible. We had a few flood advisories yesterday afternoon with storms that popped up north of US 180. Storms will remain possible tonight mainly in the evening hours but generally ending before sunset. Expect highs today the low 90s with lows tonight once againaround the upper 60s and lower 70s.
* Expect a hit and miss storm chance the next few days with shortwave disturbances working across West Central Texas the next couple of days, combined with daytime heating and low-level moisture to produce storms. Temperatures will hover in the lower 90s with lows in the upper 60s under a partly cloudy sky.
* Changes This Weekend: A strong cold front is due into the Big Country late Friday night and early on Saturday. The front will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms but also much noticably cooler temperatures. Highs will be in the lower 80s and lows in the lower to middle 60s. Models show this as a decent front and temperatures could be a bit cooler than I'm calling for here so stay tuned the next few days as we get closer to the event.
