Rain Chances On This Labor Day:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* An shortwave disturbance will work across West Texas today and will help bring scattered showers and thundestorms across the Big Country on this Labor Day. We'll keep the rain chances at 30% percent today so some areas can expect a wet afternoon. Storms will remain possible tonight as well, especially in the evening before sunset. Expect highs today around 90 with lows tonight around the upper 60s.

* Expect off and on rain chances this week with shortwave disturbances working across West Central Texas, combined with daytime heating and low-level moisture to produce storms. Temperatures will hover in the lower 90s with lows in the upper 60s. (not too far from the normals of 89 and 67)

* Big Weekend Changes: A strong cold front is due into the Big Country toward the end of the week and this weekend. The front will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms but also much noticably cooler temperatures. Highs will be in the lower and middle 80s and lows in the lower to middle 60s. This is still a few days out so we'll have to keep an eye on things for changes as we get closer.
