FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ...
MOST OF THE BIG COUNTRY WILL BE IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 10:00PM. FACTORS SUCH AS AN APPROACHING COOL FRONT AND DRY LINE WILL HELP CREATE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN ABILENE AND THE RED RIVER. THOSE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTH WITH THE FRONT DURING THE NIGHT. SOME STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE AND PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY AMOUNTS OF RAIN. HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND IS THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.
THE STORMS SHOULD LINGER IN THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING THEN MOVE OUT OF THE AREA. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE RAIN IS GONE FROM THE FORECAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. A VERY HOT AND DRY END OF THE WEEK AND WEEKEND IS ANTICIPATED.
TONIGHT: A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WITH A 50% CHANCE FOR STORMS, LOW NEAR 68. EAST WIND 10 TO 15.
WEDNESDAY: MORNING SHOWERS AND STORMS, THEN PARTLY CLOUDY THE REST OF THE DAY, HIGH 89. SOUTHEAST WIND 10 TO 20.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: PARTLY CLOUDY AND 69.
THURSDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY, HIGH 92.

Dry Today, Storms Arrive Tonight:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
***There is a slight risk for severe weather for tonight across the Northern Big Country area... north of US 380 or a Haskell to Throckmorton line and northward. An isolated severe storm or two could be possible north of I-20 as well***
* The forecast will be dry through the daytime hours as the cap will hold throughout the day with a lack of a boundary to help kick off storms. The dry line will remain well to our west across the Permian Basin for today so the forecast today will be partly cloudy and hot.
* Thunderstorms will be possible tonight across the Big Country as a cold front drops into our area. The best chances for thunderstorms, some of which could be severe, will be north of Interstate 20 where the front should stall out by morning. Storms will remain in place across our area through the morning hours. Model runs are suggesting a complex of storms will develop and drop south and eastward overnight into the early morning hours.
* The front will stay stalled the next day or two and eventually dissipate as a upper level heat ridge builds in from south and western Texas and will bring hot and dry weather back to the Big Country, Heartland, and Northern Concho Valley as we head toward the weekend.

A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST THROUGH THE LATE NIGHT HOURS TONIGHT ACROSS MAINLY THE WESTERN BIG COUNTRY AREA. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10:00PM FOR COKE, FISHER, MITCHELL, NOLAN, SCURRY AND STONEWALL COUNTIES WHICH MEANS STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN AND NEAR THE WATCH AREA.
ONCE AGAIN ON TUESDAY, WE'LL SEE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR WESTERN COUNTIES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE DRY LINE. BUT SOMETHING ELSE MAY CAUSE SOME THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.
A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO DROP OUT OF OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWEST TEXAS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20 STAND THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. AFTER THAT CHANCE FOR RAIN IS GONE, IT CERTAINLY LOOKS HOT AND DRY FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
TONIGHT: A 20% CHANCE FOR THUNDRSTORMS, SOME COULD BE SEVERE, LOW NEAR 73. SOUTHEAST WIND 10 TO 20.

Hot & Windy, Thunderstorms Return:
Happy Memorial Day and Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Another hot and windy day across our area to start this short work week for many of us. An area of clouds will make their way across the region this morning, but expect a partly cloudy sky after the morning clouds pass and break up. The dryline will advance into the Western Big Country as we get into the afternoon and we could see isolated strong storms develop along and east of the dryline this afternoon and storm could last into the evening.
* A cold front will slip into our area Tuesday night/early Wednesday and bring a better chance of rain and thunderstorms overnight and early Wednesday morning. Forecast model runs are suggesting a complex of storms may move into the Big Country, which could mean some badly needed rainfall for the area.
* Here is the severe weather outlook from our friends at the NWS/San Angelo:
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OFF A DRYLINE IN THE PERMIAN BASIN THIS AFTERNOON...MAY MOVE NORTHEAST INTO WEST CENTRAL TEXAS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. THE BEST CHANCE OF STORMS WILL BE OVER THE BIG COUNTRY. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...NORTH OF A SWEETWATER TO HASKELL LINE. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE BIG COUNTRY...NORTH INTERSTATE 20...AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE MAIN THREAT.

Another Hot & Windy Day:
Good Morning From KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
***Red Flag Warning in effect this afternoon for Fisher & Nolan County for this afternoon***
***Fire Weather Watch in effect this afternoon for Scurry & Mitchell County for this afternoon***
* A deepening surface low out west will help keep a tight pressure gradient in place over West Texas so more windy and warm conditions for the entire area. In addition. drier air moving into the Western Big Country and will combine with hot temperatures giving those areas relative humidity values of less than 20 percent. Elevated Fire Weather conditions will remain in place over the area... especially the Western Big Country and into the Permian Basin.
* A slight chance of thunderstorms will blanket the forecast through the holiday weekend as small disturbances will rotate around the upper low out west and interact with moisture over Texas helping increase a chance for a storm. Any storm that does develop could be strong or possibly severe. It doesn't look like a good soaking for the next 5 day... just hit and miss thunderstorms.

A Few Degrees Cooler, Yet Still Hot...Rain Chances Ahead:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited at KRBC...
* A weak cold front will drop southward through the Big Country this morning and about all we'll see from it is just a wind shift and about a two to three degrees cooler than yesterday. Abilene officially hit 98 yesterday with 100 reached in Brownwood, Sweetwater and Snyder. I expect highs today about 96-98 in most spots although it could be a tad warmer across the Heartland and Northern Concho Valley as the front slowly drifts southward. Lows tonight will still be above average into the middle and upper 60s. Highs on Wednesday will hold into the middle 90s.
* Rain chances will return to the forecast as get toward the end of the week as a storm system takes shape over the western U.S. and will slowly track toward our direction. The SPC in its Day 4-8 outlook is suggesting we could see some severe weather on Day 4 (Saturday) but we will have to wait and see over the next couple of days how the storm dynamics take shape.

FROM THE KRBC WEATHER CENTER AND CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER...
THE HIGH IN ABILENE MONDAY TOPPED 98 DEGREES WHILE SNYDER, SWEETWATER AND BROWNWOOD ALL SCORED 100 DEGREES. EVEN THOUGH A VERY WEAK FRONT WILL BE IN THE AREA TUESDAY, TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL CLIMB IN TO THE UPPER 90'S IN THE ABILENE AREA AND CLOSE TO 100 AGAIN WEST AND SOUTH OF ABILENE.
NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST THROUGH THURSDAY, EXCEPT MORE HUMIDITY RETURNING ON WEDNESDAY. ONCE THE HUMIDITY RETURNS, IT WILL STAY HUMID WITH LOTS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY MONDAY.
SPEAKING OF THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND, THERE IS A 20% CHANCE FOR STORMS ON FRIDAY, 30% SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND 20% ON MONDAY.
HIGHS ABOVE 90 THROUGH FRIDAY, IN THE 80'S FOR THE WEEKEND.

A weak front will push down tonight and tomorrow and will only knock a few degrees off temperatures but still warm with highs in the middle and upper 90s.
* Temperatures will drop back into the lower 90s toward the end of the week with an increased chance for rain.

Nice Weekend Ahead... Heat Cranks Up Next Week:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Cool temperatures and overcast conditons this morning across the Big County, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley with a few widely scattered showers. A disturbance still sits over the Trans-Pecos/Northern Rio Grande Valley off to our west and southwest and will stay parked the next few days helping keep clouds in the forecast. A gradual warming trend over the weekend with 80s returning to the area.
* Next week looks to be a very hot week for West Texas. A ridge that has been in place over the West Coast will amplify eastward and will bring very warm temperatures to West Texas. I think for may areas, this could be our first triple digit heat of the season. Highs will climb into the middle to upper 90s on Monday with upper 90s to near 100 in spots through the end of next week.
* Other than the spotty showers here early this morning (Friday), the forecast for West Texas looks dry through the next week.

Warming Trend on the Way
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
ALL IS QUIET ON THE HOMEFRONT TODAY, COMPARED TO THIS TIME YESTERDAY. TEMPERATURES MORE IN LINE WITH EARLY SPRING OR THE FALL TIME OF YEAR WERE ENJOYED TODAY.
I WILL LEAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A SHOWER OR STORM IN THE FORECAST TONIGHT FOR AREAS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20. THE REASON IS THE COLD FRONT HAS STALLED IN SOUTH TEXAS AND SOME DISTURBANCES ROTATING UP FROM SOUTHWEST TEXAS MAY CAUSE SOME SHOWERS TO DRIFT INTO OUR AREA. IF THEY DO, THEY ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BECOME SEVERE.
THE FORECAST FOR FRIDAY IS MOSTLY CLOUDY TO AT TIMES PARTLY CLOUDY AND WHILE A SHOWER CAN'T BE TOTALLY RULED OUT, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY SOUTH OF OUR AREA. WE'LL KEEP WATCHING TO OUR SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST WHERE RAIN IS POSSIBLE GOING INTO SATURDAY.
BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, DRIER AND MUCH WARMER AIR IS EXPECTED TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO OUR AREA, MORE OF A SUMMER PATTERN.
TONIGHT: MOSTLY CLOUDY AND COOL, AROUND 53.
FRIDAY: MOSTLY CLOUDY TO AT TIMES PARTLY CLOUDY, HIGH 75.
SATURDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY AND 82.
SUNDAY: MOSTLY SUNNY WITH MIDDLE 80'S.

Clouds & Cooler Temperatures:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* After an active evening of severe storms, much quieter weather across the KRBC viewing area. Mostly cloudy conditions will dominate the forecast for today with temperatures a degree or two cooler than yesterday into the middle 70s for the day.
* An upper level low pressure (cold pocket of air aloft) will drop into the Permian Basin and Trans-Pecos tonight and could help kick off isolated showers across West Central Texas. Based on the model runs I have looked at this morning, I think better rain chances will be across far West Texas but still will mention the shower chance tonight. Otherwise mostly cloudy tonight with lows generally into the lower 50s.
* Partly cloudy conditions hold as we head into the weekend. The upper level low mentioned above will meander across the upper Rio Grande Valley the next few days so it could kick off an isolated shower or storm, but probably a little too low to add to my morning forecast package. Temperatures will gradually warm back into the 80s across the area.

* After an active evening of severe storms, much quieter weather across the KRBC viewing area. Mostly cloudy conditions will dominate the forecast for today with temperatures a degree or two cooler than yesterday into the middle 70s for the day.
* An upper level low pressure (cold pocket of air aloft) will drop into the Permian Basin and Trans-Pecos tonight and could help kick off isolated showers across West Central Texas. Based on the model runs I have looked at this morning, I think better rain chances will be across far West Texas but still will mention the shower chance tonight. Otherwise mostly cloudy tonight with lows generally into the lower 50s.

Warm to Hot Rest of the Week
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ...
WE SAW SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS, AND EVEN HAD ONE REPORT OF A TORNADO, IN NORTHERN HASKELL AND NORTHWESTERN THROCKMORTON COUNTY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AROUND 3:00PM.
THE STORMS FORMED IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING THROUGH THE AREA AND A COLD FRONT COMING INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST.
ELSEWHERE, DRY WEST WIND PREVAILED. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, I EXPECT SKIES TO BE MAINLY CLEAR WITH A FEW PASSING CLOUDS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD DROP INTO THE 50'S TONIGHT.
THE TREND, HOWEVER, IS FOR VERY WARM TEMPERATURES THE NEXT FEW DAYS, A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF MAY. THE NEXT COLD FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT WILL DROP TEMPERATURES BACK CLOSE TO 80 FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. RAIN CHANCES ARE SCARCE AT THIS TIME.
TONIGHT: CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY WITH MIDDLE 50'S. NORTHWEST 10 TO 15.
THURSDAY: SUNSHINE WITH MIDDLE TO UPPER 80'S. SOUTHWEST WIND 10 TO 15.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: SUNNY, LOW TO MID 90'S.

* Thunderstorms continue to progress north and east this morning across West Central Texas. The storms could still be severe through noon across the area but so far, most of the severe weather has been centered over the South Plains early this morning. There is a slight risk for severe weather today for our eastern counties, but I do expect the storms to be out of all of our area, especially those eastern counties by lunch time.
* Windy conditions today will elevate the fire danger across the area so Red Flag Warnings have been issued, as well as Windy Advisories. Highs today will climb into the lower and middle 80s. Lows tonight in the middle 50s. A weak cold front will move into the area tonight.

* Thunderstorms continue to progress north and east this morning across West Central Texas. The storms could still be severe through noon across the area but so far, most of the severe weather has been centered over the South Plains early this morning. There is a slight risk for severe weather today for our eastern counties, but I do expect the storms to be out of all of our area, especially those eastern counties by lunch time.
* Windy conditions today will elevate the fire danger across the area so Red Flag Warnings have been issued, as well as Windy Advisories. Highs today will climb into the lower and middle 80s. Lows tonight in the middle 50s. A weak cold front will move into the area tonight.

Looks Rainy Monday
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ...
WE WILL LIKELY SEE RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR AREA MONDAY, MONDAY NIGHT, TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE SOUTHWEST U.S. AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND APPROACHING FRONTS MAKE MONDAY'S RAIN CHANCE 50/50 IF NOT A LITTLE BETTER. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE RAIN LEAVES THE FORECAST MAKING FOR A DRY REST OF THE WEEK WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
SUNDAY NIGHT: MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A LOW NEAR 60. SOUTHEAST WIND 5 TO 10. POSSIBLE A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY POP UP BY MORNING.
MONDAY: MAINLY CLOUDY WITH A HIGH NEAR 75. A 50% CHANCE FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS, ONE OR TWO STORMS COULD BE STRONG. SOUTHEAST WIND 10 TO 20.
MONDAY NIGHT: MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A CONTINUED GOOD CHANCE FOR STORMS, LOW NEAR 64.

Cooler Weather This Weekend:
Good Friday Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* A cold front moved through West Central Texas this mornig and has shifted our winds and cooled us down for today with highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Another frontal boundary will move in on tonight re-enforcing in a cooler airmass for the weekend. Highs on Saturday highs will be in the lower 70s and Sunday into the middle 70s. Rain chances will return, as well as warmer temperatures into next week.
* Dyess Big Country Airshow Weather: Perfect weather if your heading to Dyess AFB for the air show tomorrow. It will be a bit chilly during the morning but a nice pleasant day out there with a high about 71. Even through it is going to be cool, you still need to apply some sun block if your heading out there and plan on staying out a while. The UV Index is still pretty high, as well as the sun angle so you can still get a sun burn.

Pleasant Weather To Start The New Week:
Good Morning From Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* As I write this about 20 minutes until 4:00 AM... Abilene Regional Airport sits at 39 degrees which ties the record low for this day of 39 from back in 1997. It is a pretty safe bet this record will fall this morning, as will the temperatures another few degrees...
* Sunny and pleasant weather for all of West Texas today as an area of high pressure sits over the Big Bend region. The weather looks quiet for the week. A cold front will drop southward the next few days but the model runs show this front running out of gas along the Red River and slowly falling apart thanks to the high pressure that will drift across south Texas and keep the front stuck to the north.
Today: Sunny & Warmer

YOU ARE URGED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER CLOSELY SATURDAY NIGHT FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE STORMS. THE COLD FRONT WILL ALSO BRING A FEEL OF FALL-LIKE WEATHER SUNDAY AS HIGHS DROP BACK INTO THE 60'S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS DROP INTO THE LOW 40'S.
FRIDAY NIGHT: CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY, LOW NEAR 52. EAST WIND 5 TO 15.
SATURDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY, HIGH 77, SOUTHEAST WIND 15 TO 25 AND GUSTY IN THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT A FEW LATE DAY STORMS, SOME SEVERE, BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS SATURDAY NIGHT.

Storm Chances This Weekend:
Good Morning From Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* A cold front will move into the area today and bring slightly cooler air to West Central Texas. The front may kick off a few storms that could be strong in our eastern and southeastern counties this afternoon... mainly along a line from Eastland to Santa Anna to Brady and points eastward. Highs will be back into the lower to middle 80s today. Lows tonight will be cooler as well into the middle 50s.
* Quiet weather for most of Saturday with highs in the middle to upper 70s. The front that moves through on Friday will stall in South Texas and lift northward as a warm front and interact with a storm system moving into West Texas and kick off a good chance for thunderstorms Saturday night and into Sunday. The best severe weather threat looks to be centered over the Concho Valley, but the slight risk of severe weather runs roughly along and South of US 180 in the Big Country and south into the heart of West Central Texas.
Today: Partly Cloudy, Breezy & Slightly Cooler.
Isolated Storms in Eastern Counties
Highs: 79-84
Wind: NW 15-25
Rain Chance: 20% (East)
Severe Weather Risk: Slight- East (SPC Outlook)
Tonight: Partly Cloudy, Breezy & Slightly Cooler
Lows: 53-55
Wind: S# 15-20
Rain Chance: 0%
Severe Weather Risk: None
Saturday: Partly Cloudy. A Few Isolated Thunderstorms Late Afternoon
Highs: 76-79

MORE CHANCES FOR STORMS
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
THE STORMS STAYED AWAY TODAY BUT THEY ARE STILL IN THE FORECAST FOR LATE FRIDAY, LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT THANKS TO TWO COLD FRONTS COMING OUR WAY.
HIGHS TODAY TOUCHED 90 ALL AROUND THE AREA BUT WE SHOULD SEE 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER ON FRIDAY THANKS TO A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. AS IT DOES SO IN THE AFTERNOON, AREAS MAINLY EAST AND SOUTH OF ABILENE STAND A CHANCE TO SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP, STORMS WHICH COULD BE SEVERE.
ON THE HEELS OF THE FIRST FRONT IS ANOTHER FRONT LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. THAT FRONT HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF CAUSING STORMS AND RAIN ACROSS THE KRBC VIEWING AREA. AS ALWAYS THIS TIME OF YEAR, ANY STORM WHICH DEVELOPS MAY BECOME SEVERE.
ONCE THE RAIN MOVES EAST ON SUNDAY, WE SHOULD SEE A DRIER PATTERN WITH SLOWLY WARMING TEMPERATURES EARLY NEXT WEEK. SPEAKING OF TEMPERATURES, DOWNRIGHT COOL FEELING SUNDAY IN THE UPPER 60'S WHICH IS WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
TONIGHT: AN ISOLATED STORM, OTHERWISE CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY, LOW OF 62. SOUTH WIND 15 TO 20.
FRIDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY WITH A COLD FRONT ARRIVING. HIGH AROUND 80 WITH A 20% CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON STORMS.
FRIDAY NIGHT: PARTLY CLOUDY AND COOL, LOW 50'S, AN ISOLATED STORM POSSIBLE.
SATURDAY: MOST OF THE DAY PARTLY CLOUDY AND WARM BUT LATE DAY AND INTO SATURDAY NIGHT LOOK FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE AROUND THE AREA. HIGH SATURDAY NEAR 80.
SUNDAY: COOLER WITH MORNING SHOWERS, HIGHS MID TO UPPER 60'S SUNDAY.

Warmer Today, Rain Chances Return:
Good Morning From Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Areas that saw rain on Wednesday picked up a good soaking. Abilene officially picked up 1.31" of rain, while Doppler Radar estimates show that areas along US 180 from the Snyder to Breckenridge corridor picked up 2 to 3 inches of rain.
* Expect much warmer weather today as breezy southwesterly winds will impact the area today. The dryline will mix into our the western portions of the Big County this afternoon and could kick off a very isolated storm ahead of the dryline... mainly from about a Haskell to Abilene to Ballinger and points eastward line. Highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s today and lows tonight in the low to middle 60s.
* Another cold front will push across the area on Friday and will help kick off a few thunderstorms. Severe weather threat looks low, with the best chance of severe storms east of our area. Another storm system will impact West Texas on Sunday. There is a slight risk of severe weather outlined by the SPC for West Central Texas on Sunday for this event.

Strong to Severe Storms Today & Tonight:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Severe thunderstorms are likely across the Big County, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley today and tonight as both a dryline and an upper level storm system move into West Central Texas. Given the instability and wind shear likely, storms that do develop may quickly reach severe levels. Although all of West Central Texas will see a threat of severe storms, there is an enhanced threat area along and north of a San Angelo to Brownwood line or roughly along and north of US 67. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main threat. However, especially in the enhanced threat area, there will be the potential for very large hail perhaps golfball to baseball size and isolated tornadoes as well.
* KRBC Forecast:
Today: Mostly Cloudy with Scattered T-Storms. Some Storms Severe
Highs: 80-83
Wind: SE 15-25
Rain Chance: 40%
Severe Weather Threat: Slight (SPC Outlook)
Tonight: Showers & T-Storms. Some Storms Severe
Lows: 64-67
Wind: S 15-25
Rain Chance: 60%
Severe Weather Threat: Slight (SPC Outlook)
Thursday: Rain Ending Early, Decreasing Clouds & Warmer
Highs: 87-90
Wind: SW 15-25
Rain Chance: None

Slight Risk for Severe T-Storms Wednesday
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ...
TEMPERATURES SOARED ONCE AGAIN TODAY MAKING IT FEEL MORE LIKE SUMMER THAN SPRING. ALL SIGNS STILL POINT TO SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
I'LL PUT THE RAIN CHANCE AT 40% WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT, BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY SHOT AT RAIN IN MY SEVEN DAY FORECAST.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND BY FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY, IT IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE AT LEAST A FEW THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA. I'LL LEAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS IN THE FORECAST ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS WELL.
AS FAR SEVERE WEATHER, THE KRBC VIEWING AREA IS INCLUDED IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING. IT APPEARS THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY, AREAS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20, STAND THE BEST CHANCE TO SEE MORE STORMS WHICH WOULD MORE LIKELY BECOME SEVERE SO WE'LL WATCH THAT FOR YOU CLOSELY ON WEDNESDAY.
TONIGHT: TURNING CLOUDY WITH AN ISOLATED STORM POSSIBLE BY MORNING, LOW OF 67.
WEDNESDAY: MAINLY CLOUDY WITH A 40% CHANCE FOR STORMS, HIGH NEAR 80. SOME STORMS COULD BE SEVERE.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: CLOUDY, 40% CHANCE FOR STORMS, LOW NEAR 64.
THURSDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY AND WARM, NEAR 90 AGAIN.
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS FRIDAY WITH A 30% CHANCE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

One More Warm Day... Rain Chances Return:
Good Tuesday Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* One more warm and humid day across West Central Texas before changes take place. Highs again will approach and exceed 90 in the area today as the dryline mixes into our western counties and humid conditions continue across the rest of the Big County, Heartland, and Concho Valley.
* There is an islolated chance for a storm today and tonight, but the best chance will come on Wednesday as a weak cold front will push southward and give lift to the very moist and humid air across our area to get a few showers and thunderstorms going. The cap is holding decently, but I think the front will give enough lift to get a few storms developing. It will be "cooler" on Wednesday with highs back into the lower 80s.
* Isolated rain chances will continue to at least Saturday with highs remaining in the 80s and overnight lows in the upper 50s and 60s.
Today: Morning Clouds, then Partly Cloudy & Warm, Isolated Storms
Highs: 89-91
Wind: SW/SE 10-15
Rain Chance: 10%

Low: 64-66

Nice & Warm To Start The Week...
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Not much happening in the forecast the next few days other than the heat. Low clouds have developed to our south this morning and will drift north so expect overcast for a while this morning then as we get into the late morning the sky becoming partly cloudy. Although the dryline will be situated across our western counties, the cap should hold so I don't expect any storms. Highs the next two days will be in the lower 90s and overnight lows will be in the lower 60s.
* Rain chances return by mid-week as a couple of disturbances make their way into West Texas. It looks as if Wednesday is the best shot for rain, while the end of the week looks to be only slight chances.
Today: Morning Clouds, then Partly Cloudy & Warm
High: 91

Dry & Slightly Cooler Friday:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
Quiet weather this morning across West Texas as high pressure has built in behind the front that passed through last night. As I write this, temperatures at 5:00 AM are ranging from 37 in Synder to 46 in Brownwood. Dry and cool airmass in place so highs today will be cooler and another cool night in store.
A warming trend will back in store over the weekend with highs climbing into the upper 80s and lower 90s into early next week. The dryline will make its way back and forth across the area over the weekend so an isolated storm could pop... but for now I will keep things dry. The next changes of rain (about 20%) come at the middle of the week.
Today: Sunny & Slightly Cooler
High: 75
Wind: NW 5-15
Tonight: Clear & Chilly
Low: 48
Wind: SW 10-15
Saturday: Sunny & Warmer
High: 83

The Wind Machine Works Overtime
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND HAVE HAD ALL THE WIND I WANT. HOWEVER, THE PERSISTENT GUSTY WIND WON'T BE GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE ROCKIES IS CAUSING OUR WIND TO GUST BUT THE SAME SYSTEM WILL ALSO SEND A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH, YOU GUESSED IT, EVEN MORE GUSTY WIND, ONLY FROM A NORTHERLY DIRECTION.
CAN THE FRONT CAUSE ANY STORMS? POSSIBLY, BUT A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES OF THE KRBC VIEWING AREA - TOWNS LIKE THROCKMORTON, BRECKENRIDGE, CISCO, EASTLAND, COLEMAN, BROWNWOOD AND COMANCHE MAY SEE AN ISOLATED STORM LATE DAY THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT.
AFTER THAT, WARM, SUNNY AND DRY WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND!
I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND HAVE HAD ALL THE WIND I WANT. HOWEVER, THE PERSISTENT GUSTY WIND WON'T BE GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON.

MORE WIND THAN THE LAW ALLOWS
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ...
ARE YOU FED UP WITH THE PERSISTENT GUSTY WIND? TWO MORE DAYS OF IT BEFORE IT SHOULD CALM SOME.
AS FORECAST, THE WIND BLEW STRONG TODAY AND WILL DO THE SAME ON WEDNESDAY. A STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE AREA IN THE ROCKIES IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INCREASE IN WIND SPEED. THE DOWN SIDE IS THE GUSTY CONDITIONS, THE UP SIDE IS WARM TEMPERATURES WHICH WILL RETURN TOMORROW.
A COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE DURING THE DAY THURSDAY, LOOKS LIKE MID-DAY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE FRONT WILL BRING WITH IT COOLER TEMPERATURES SO INSTEAD OF HIGHS IN THE 80'S, HIGHS CLOSER TO 70 LOOK REASONABLE ON THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY A COOL TEMPERATURE NEAR 40 TOMORROW.
RAIN LOOKS TO BE HARD TO COME BY WHEN THE FRONT ARRIVES BUT IF ANY RAIN DEVELOPS IT WILL ONLY AFFECT OUR EASTERN COUNTIES.
TONIGHT: TURNING PARTLY CLOUDY BY MORNING, LOW 58 WITH SOUTH WIND 10 TO 20.
WEDNESDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY AND WINDY, HIGH 82. SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST WIND 25 TO 35.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: PARTLY CLOUDY AND 61.
THURSDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY, HIGH NEAR 70 OR A LITTLE ABOVE BEFORE THE FRONT ARRIVES.

Turning Warmer and WINDY
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
YOU COULDN'T ASK FOR A NICER DAY THAN WHAT WE HAD TODAY, IF YOU DIDN'T MIND THOSE CHILLY TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING. WE GOT AS COOL AS 38 THIS MORNING IN ABILENE WHILE BROWNWOOD ACTUALLY HIT 30 DEGREES FOR A SHORT TIME AROUND SIX MONDAY MORNING.
THE COOL WEATHER IS BEHIND US, TEMPERATURES ARE SET TO RETURN TO A MORE SEASONABLE SITUATION. I'M LOOKING FOR LOWS TONIGHT TO DROP INTO THE UPPER 40'S BUT HIGHS TOMORROW NEAR 79. WEDNESDAY'S HIGH SHOULD BE AROUND 80.
THE GUSTY WIND IS GOING TO BE OUR BIG STORY THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE ROCKIES AND OUR SOUTHEAST WIND RESPONDS AND BECOMES GUSTY TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. WITH OUR DRY CONDITIONS PERSISTING, THE FIRE DANGER WILL INCREASE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE THURSDAY BUT OUR MOISTURE SUPPLY IS EXPECTED TO BE LIMITED SO THE BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN STAYS TO OUR EAST.
MONDAY NIGHT: CLEAR AND 49.
TUESDAY: SUNNY AND WINDY, HIGH NEAR 79. SOUTHEAST WIND 20 TO 30 AND GUSTY.
TUESDAY NIGHT: CLEAR AND 58.
WEDNESDAY: SUNNY AND 80 WITH WINDY CONDITIONS.

Weekend Forecast - Breckenridge Tornado Damage Survey
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
I'LL BREAK THIS INTO TWO PARTS - YOUR SHORT WEEKEND FORECAST AND A SUMMARY OF THE TORNADO DAMAGE AT BRECKENRIDGE.
WEEKEND WEATHER WILL BE GREAT - MORNINGS WILL BE COOL, HOWEVER, A FROST IS EVEN POSSIBLE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNING BUT AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL BE AROUND 70. IT SHOULD BE SUNNY ALL WEEKEND.
NOW TO THE BRECKENRIDGE TORNADO DAMAGE. AN INVESTIGATIVE TEAM FROM THE FORT WORTH NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPENT THURSDAY LOOK AT THE DAMAGE AND DISCOVERED TWO SEPARATE TORNADO PATHS.
#1 - RATED AN EF 0 ON THE ENHANCED FUJITA SCALE - WINDS WERE ESTIMATED 80-85MPH. IT DEVELOPED ALONG FM 576 EAST OF THE EOLIAN COMMUNITY, STAYED ON THE GROUND 2.3 MILES AND HAD AN AVERAGE PATH WIDTH OF 75 YARDS.
#2 - RATED AN UPPER END EF 1 WITH WINDS NEAR 110MPH. THE DAMAGE STARTED 1/2 MILES WEST OF U.S. 183 AND SOUTH OF FM 2231. DID LOTS OF DAMAGE ALONG COUNTY ROAD 150, WAS THE TORNADO THAT HIT THE AIRPORT AND DAMAGED MANY HOMES ON AIRPORT ROAD. IT CONTINUED FOR 7.1 MILES BEFORE LIFTING. AVERAGE PATH WIDTH WAS 400 YARDS.

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LATER TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING... THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STRONG TORNADOES ALONG WITH VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LATER TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.
THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA A LARGE PART OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN TEXAS SURROUNDING THE HIGHEST RISK AREA...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTH TEXAS NORTH AND EAST INTO PARTS OF KANSAS...SOUTHWEST MISSOURI...ARKANSAS AND LOUISIANA.
A VERY STRONG HIGH-LEVEL STORM SYSTEM NOW OVER ARIZONA AND NEVADA...WITH 120 MPH JET STREAM WINDS...WILL SWEEP EAST INTO FAR WEST TEXAS AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO EARLY THURSDAY. AS THIS OCCURS...A SURFACE LOW THAT WILL FORM THIS AFTERNOON OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND MOVE NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA THURSDAY MORNING. SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE WINDS ARE ALREADY SPREADING VERY WARM AND HUMID AIR NORTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL INTO NORTHERN TEXAS. THESE WINDS WILL INCREASE IN STRENGTH AND BREADTH THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY AS THE NEW MEXICO LOW HEADS EASTWARD. THE COMBINATION OF INCREASINGLY WARM AND HUMID AIR NEAR THE SURFACE...WITH THE FAST JET STREAM FLOW ALOFT...WILL CREATE A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SUSTAINED ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS CALLED SUPERCELLS FROM CENTRAL TEXAS INTO SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA. SCATTERED STORMS WITH HAIL MAY OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTHERN TEXAS AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA.
MORE SIGNIFICANT STORMS...HOWEVER...LIKELY WILL DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT FROM WEST CENTRAL TEXAS NORTH AND EAST ACROSS THE RED RIVER VALLEY INTO SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA. ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL AND NORTH TEXAS...THESE STORMS MAY PRODUCE STRONG TORNADOES...IN ADDITION TO VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES...HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS LIKELY WILL CONTINUE OVER PARTS OF TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.
THIS THREAT WILL ALSO EXPAND NORTH AND EAST ACROSS THE OZARKS INTO A LARGE PART OF THE MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER TENNESSEE VALLEYS LATER THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.

Stay Alert to Severe Weather Threat Through Tonight
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
WE'RE STILL EXPECTING A WIDESPREAD OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER. THE KRBC WEATHER TEAM IS MONITORING THE SITUATION AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO THROUGH MID-DAY TOMORROW - THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT SHOULD BE THE GREATEST THREAT TIME FOR OUR AREA. BELOW IS A DISCUSSION FROM THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER ..
TORNADO WATCH WILL BE NEEDED SOON FOR PARTS OF SW INTO CENTRAL AND N TX. EARLY AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A WARM FRONT CONTINUING TO SPREAD NWD...AND CURRENTLY EXTENDED ENEWD FROM THE MAF AREA TO THE ERN PART OF THE DAL/FTW METROPLEX INTO SERN OK AND SRN AR. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED CLOUDS HAVE CLEARED ALONG AND S OF WRN EXTENT OF THE WARM FRONT.
ADDITIONAL SURFACE HEATING AND INCREASING CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY PER OBJECTIVE ANALYSES SUGGESTS NEW TSTM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE LIKELY BETWEEN 1:00 PM AND 3:00PM AS SURFACE BASED INHIBITION CONTINUES TO WEAKEN. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STRONG DEEP LAYER AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR VALUES WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF TORNADIC SUPERCELLS.

STORMS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
THUNDERSTORMS, SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE, ARE BACK IN THE FORECAST AND COULD START AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS THE KRBC VIEWING AREA.
WE HAVE SEVERAL FACTORS TO CONSIDER. FIRST IS THE ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE WHICH WILL RETURN TO THE REGION TONIGHT. THE COLD FRONT WHICH PASSED THROUGH THE AREA TODAY WILL RETURN NORTH AS A WARM FRONT WEDNESDAY, ANOTHER FOCUS FOR STORMS. COMBINE A DRY LINE PUSHING IN FROM THE WEST AND AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA FROM THE WEST AND THE STAGE IS SET FOR POTENTIAL RAPID STORM DEVELOPMENT ANYTIME FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT, PROBABLY SEVERAL ROUNDS OF STORMS BY THE TIME IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE.
THE STORMS WILL POTENTIALLY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND AND COULD ALSO SPIN UP A TORNADO OR TWO.
RANDY'S FORECAST - LET'S PLAN ON A FEW STORMS TO BE UNDERWAY TOMORROW MORNING FOLLOWED BY A BREAK DURING THE MID-DAY THEN A REKINDLING OF STORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. I DON'T THINK WE'LL SEE THE END OF THE STORMY WEATHER UNTIL MID-DAY THURSDAY. WATCH KRBC FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES AND WARNINGS.
LOW TONIGHT - 53 UNDER CLOUDY SKIES AND STORMS POSSIBLE BY MORNING.
HIGH TOMORROW - 77 WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS, SOME SEVERE.

Good Morning From KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
***See Blog Post Below For Details On Severe Weather Threat Tomorrow***
* A cold front will move through West Texas today and bring slightly cooler air. The front will work on some moisture in place over the eastern areas and may kick off an isolated storm or two.
* The front will lift back north tonight and tomorrow as a warm front and also keep isolated storms in the forecast.
* Tomorrow looks to be an active day with isolated severe storms possible along the warm front as it lifts northward. A dryline will mix to the east late in the afternoon and evening and will help fire strong storms. A cold front will move in later in the evening. The warm, moist airmass and dryline/cold front combo will set the parameters for a severe weather threat from Wednesday into early Thursday.
* Quickcast:
- Today: Partly Cloudy, Breezy, Isolated Storms (East)
High: 77 Wind: SW/N 15-20
- Tonight: Increasing Clouds, Breezy, Isolated Storms
Low: 52 Wind: N 15-20

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL TX AND SOUTHERN OK...
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS/ARKLATEX/OZARKS...
...MUCH OF TX/OK INTO THE ARKLATEX/OZARKS...
POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT. 00Z NAM/GFS/ECMWF AND 21Z SREF GUIDANCE SUGGEST A MID/UPPER TROUGH WILL SHIFT EASTWARD OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS DURING THE DAY...TAKING ON A NEUTRAL TO NEGATIVE TILT BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. AT THE SURFACE...CYCLOGENESIS WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...WITH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE /60S F DEWPOINTS/ RETURNING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS TX. STALLING FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE ARKLATEX AND NORTH/CENTRAL TX ON DAY 1 IS EXPECTED TO RETREAT NORTHWARD ACROSS NORTH TX DURING THE DAY...AND INTO OK DURING THE EVENING/OVERNIGHT.
THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO FOR SURFACE BASED RMS/SUPERCELLS DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WILL BE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST/WEST CENTRAL INTO NORTH CENTRAL TX AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW/DRYLINE AND NEAR THE WARM FRONT INTERSECTION. AS THE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO SHIFT EASTWARD...50 KT MID LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ATOP SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL YIELD STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR FOR SUPERCELLS. AMPLE HEATING/INCREASINGLY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES IN CONJUNCTION WITH 60S F DEWPOINTS ACROSS TX WILL LEAD TO MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY BY AFTERNOON...WITH MLCAPE OF 2000-3000 J/KG. THE SUPERCELLS WILL BE CAPABLE OF VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES /A FEW POTENTIALLY STRONG/...WITH AN APPRECIABLE SEVERE RISK CONTINUING WELL INTO THE NIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER RISKS...A DAMAGING WIND THREAT MAY INCREASE DURING THE LATE EVENING/OVERNIGHT ACROSS NORTH/CENTRAL TX IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE EASTWARD SURGING DRYLINE/PACIFIC FRONT.
FARTHER NORTH ACROSS NORTHWEST TX/WESTERN OK INTO SOUTHERN KS...A LEAD IMPULSE MAY LEAD TO SCATTERED ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS BY LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON WITHIN THE ELEVATED BAROCLINIC ZONE. A HIGHLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT AND SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY WOULD RESULT IN AT LEAST SOME LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL. ALTHOUGH POSSIBLY IMPACTED BY ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS TX...THE WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE LIFTING NORTHWARD FROM NORTH TX INTO OK DURING THE EVENING/OVERNIGHT. AT LEAST A LARGE HAIL THREAT WILL CONTINUE MUCH OF THE NIGHT ACROSS OK INTO ADJACENT PORTIONS OF KS/MO/AR. HOWEVER...A SURFACED BASED SEVERE THREAT /INCLUDING TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WINDS/ CANNOT BE RULED OUT ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTHERN OK DURING THE NIGHT.

Fire Danger For Western Big Country, Front Tomorrow, Severe Weather Mid-Week:
* From the KRBC Weather Center...
- Red Flag Warning for Scurry and Mitchell Counties This Afternoon.
- Fire Weather Watch for Nolan, Fisher, & Haskell Counties Today
* Good morning... Quiet morning across West Texas today as a front has stalled just across our southern counties. This front will retreat northward today as a warm front helping warm highs today into the middle 80s. The dryline will drift into our western counties and will elevate the fire danger this afternoon.
* Tomorrow a cold front will move across the area and will bring a slight chance for storms across the eastern areas where there will be the best moisture content. Highs tomorrow will drop back into the middle and upper 70s.
* Severe Weather Mid-Week: A strong system will swing through West Texas on Wednesday helping develop showers and thunderstorms across the area. The Storm Prediciton Center has the entire Big Country, the Northern Concho Valley, and the Heartland outlined for the Slight Risk of severe weather on Wednesday. The long range outlook from the SPC has suggestion for some severe weather Thursday... mainly early in the morning as the system moves out of our area. We will watch this system take shape and sharpen our forecast accordingly.
* Quickcast:
-Today: Partly Cloudy, Warm, Windy High: 85-87 Winds: S 15-25 mph
-Tonight: Partly Cloudy, Mild, Windy Low: 58-61 Winds: S 15-25 mph
-Tuesday: Partly Cloudy, WarmHigh: 77-79Winds: S 15/NW 15

Consider this your "Heads Up" for the potential for severe weather late Thursday and Thursday night across the Big Country. The Storm Prediction Center has placed all the KRBC viewing area in a Slight Risk for severe storms while from Abilene northeast toward Breckenridge and Throckmorton the risk is greater, in the Moderate category. Damaging hail, high wind and isolated tornadoes will all be possible Thursday and Thursday night. Heavy rain will also fall from many of the storms. Once the storms push east Thursday night, a strong cold front blows through making for windy and cooler weather Friday. Weekend weather, however, still looks nice.
Thursday: Mostly cloudy to partly cloudy, highs middle 80's, gusty south wind with a 40% chance of late storms.
Thursday Night: Severe thunderstorms likely areawide, more prominent from Abilene east and south. Low 45.
Friday: Gusty north wind, partly cloudy, middle 60's.
Weekend: Sunny and warm, middle 70's.

CLOUDY WEATHER TONIGHT, GRADUAL WARMING
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
OUR SPRING ROLLER COASTER RIDE CONTINUES IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURE AND IN SPEED OF WEATHER SYSTEMS RAPIDLY COMING AND GOING THROUGH THE AREA.
NEXT ON TAP IS A WARM FRONT WHICH WILL COME FROM THE SOUTH AND THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. SOME DRIZZLE AND FOG IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AS THE COOL AIR NEAR THE GROUND IS OVERRUN BY THE WARMER AIR ABOUT A MILE ABOVE THE GROUND. THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED T-STORM ON WEDNESDAY BUT CHANCES AREN'T THAT GREAT AND FAVOR MAINLY THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY.
WE'LL WATCH AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM APPROACH FROM THE WEST ON THURSDAY. ONCE AGAIN, AREAS NORTH OF I-20 ARE FAVORTED TO SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS ALTHOUGH I DON'T THINK WE'LL SEE A LARGE NUMBER OF STORMS ON THURSDAY. ANY THAT DEVELOP, HOWEVER, WILL BE CAPABLE OF BECOMING SEVERE. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THURSDAY NIGHT MAY BE THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS AREAWIDE WITH YET ANOTHER COLD FRONT ARRIVING SHORTLY THEREAFTER. WEATHER FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND LOOKS WARM AND DRY.
TONIGHT: TURNING CLOUDY, MIDDLE 40'S, DRIZZLE AND FOG POSSIBLE.
WEDNESDAY: A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR ISOLATED STORMS, HIGH NEAR 65 AS SOUTH WINDS GRADUALLY RETURN.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: BECOMING HUMID, LOW NEAR 60.
THURSDAY: A 20% CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS, HIGH 84.
FRIDAY: MOSTLY SUNNY AND 68.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY: SUN AND CLOUDS WITH 78-83 FOR HIGHS.
