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.

Isolated Storms Monday Evening
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
AFTERNOON HEATING AND THE DRY LINE MAY SPARK A THUNDERSTORM THIS EVENING ACROSS MAINLY THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY. ANY STORM WHICH DEVELOPS MAY RAPIDLY BECOME SEVERE. THE MAJORITY OF THE STORM ACTIVITY SHOULD STAY NORTH OF OUR AREA ALONG THE RED RIVER BUT WE'LL MONITOR LOCALLY FOR THE CHANCE FOR STORMS.SEVERE WEATHER WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AGAIN LATE TUESDAY WITH A COLD FRONT IN THE AREA.WEDNESDAY, THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND INTO THE NIGHT, WE'LL HAVE OUR BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS, SOME WHICH COULD BE SEVERE.
TONIGHT: ISOLATED EVENING STORMS, OTHERWISE PARTLY CLOUDY, LOW 63. SOUTH WIND 10 TO 20.
TUESDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY, ISOLATED LATE DAY STORM, UPPER 70'S WITH NORTHEAST WIND 10 TO 20.

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

Severe Weather Expected Thursday

Consider this your "Heads Up" for the potential for severe weather late Thursday and Thursday night across the Big Country.

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.

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.
