Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Another windy and warm day ahead for the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley. Expect partly cloudy conditions with highs in the middle and upper 70s today and lows tonight range from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Still breezy and warm under a partly cloudy sky on Wednesday with highs in the middle 70s.
* The later half of the week will bring in cooler temperatures and some stormy weather. An upper level storm system and strong cold front are forecast move into the region late Thursday and on Friday. There is a decent chance for thunderstorms across West Central Texas at the moment. If the system tracks a little more southward it would be able to catch more moisture and could bring a risk of strong to severe storms to the region. Highs drop back into the low 70s on Thursday and the upper 50s/lower 60s for Friday and into the weekend. Overnight lows hold into the 50s but will drop back into the middle 30s and lower 40s over the weekend. Expect clouds around Thursday and Friday and partly conditions over the weekend. Looks like another rain chance coming in on Monday of next week.
