Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Area of showers and thunderstorms early this morning to our north and west over the South Plains and the Panhandle along the cold front. Expect a mostly cloudy morning and dry to start but as the front slides closer, we'll increase our chance for showers and thunderstorms. It's looking the better coverage of storms will be over the northern half of the Big Country, roughly along and north of the U.S. 180 corridor but all of us will at least see a chance of some rain. Highs will range from the upper 50s to the lower 70s based on where you are in relation to the cold front that will march across West Central Texas during the day today. Cooler to the east and warmer to the west. Clouds will be on the decrease and turning colder as lows tonight drop into the middle 30s across West Central Texas.
* Weekend: Mostly sunny and dry on Saturday with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s. Turning partly cloudy on Sunday with a slight chance of rain south of Interstate 20 down across the Heartland. Highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s. Lows in the low to middle 30s each morning.
* Next Week: Partly cloudy on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s on Monday, upper 60s on Tuesday and back into the low 60s on Wednesday. Lows each night into the middle to upper 30s. Another cold front will arrive on Wednesday.
