Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* A clear and warm morning once again across West Central Texas. Mostly sunny today and warm with high temperatures into the lower to middle 90s. The dryline will advance into the area this afternoon and we'll watch for an isolated late day storm to develop. Just like yesterday the cap (a warm layer of air aloft) is pretty strong and will keep storm development pretty low. It was nearly 7:00 in the evening yesterday before the cap started to weaken and we got storms to develop east of Abilene. Any storm that develops could be strong but our area is not under a severe weather risk today. Again the best chance of an isolated storm would be east of the U.S. 277 corridor late this afternoon and evening. A few clouds tonight with lows in the middle and upper 60s.
* Increasing clouds on Wednesday and still warm with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s. There is a slight chance of an afternoon thunderstorm across the area. Still looking rather wet for the later half of the week and into the weekend. Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms for Thursday - Sunday. A few storms could be strong and possibly severe during this period. Cooler with highs in the 70s and lows into the 50s.
