A Few Thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

As of this Sunday evening, I'm in the Weather Lab watching some thunderstorms on Triple Doppler Radar. As of 4:20pm they stretch from near Hubbard Creek Reservoir at Breckenridge to the northwest around Haskell.

The storms are being caused by a cold front near the northern Big Country. This front will remain in the area Monday and Tuesday, and should set off some thunderstorms both days.

This time of year, based on how the storms develop, they can produce sudden microburst winds .. high winds that can approach tornado strength at times. Just be watchful of these afternoon storms and know that they may become severe quickly in this hot weather.

Speaking of the heat, we get a minor (and brief) break from triple digit temperatures Monday and Tuesday, but still hot, in the mid to upper 90's.

Mid to late week, highs back to near 100 each day. In short, the summer heat wave continues.
