Rainy Saturday Morning

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....

Rain is falling on the roof of KRBC as of 4:30am this Saturday morning. This is a sound we should get used to for much of the day today here in the Big Country.

Plenty of moisture is interracting with an upper level disturbance moving over our area from the southwest causing thunderstorms to develop. One or two storms may become severe today. The main threat is large hail and damaging wind. Frequent cloud to ground lightning can be expected, along with heavy rainfall.

The storm movement will be toward the northeast. Areas most likely to see rain will be along and east of a line from San Angelo to Sweetwater to Haskell, including Abilene. Areas around Coleman and Brownwood have a higher probability of rain today.

Once this system moves past, the rain should end by mid to late afternoon and push to the east.

Then, get ready for the wind! Warm and windy on Sunday. VERY WINDY on Monday with some gusts up to 30 and 40mph possible. Temperatures in the low to mid 80's Sunday, upper 80's possible on Monday.
