So far, today has been nice. It's clear and dry with humidity values hovering in the low teens across most of the area. A dryline is currently straddled across the far eastern stretch of the basin. This dryline is expected to push further west this afternoon and evening, coming almost as close as Midland before pushing back east. As it progresses back eastward, late tonight, thunderstorms will begin to fire up.
Rain chances look low to nil for most of the viewing area side for the eastern 1/10th or so. There's a lot of instability and shear in the atmosphere so as these storms pop up, they will become severe. A line of thunderstorms quickly forms around 9pm tonight and the question is whether or not the storms become severe before or after leaving our region to the east. The time of greatest concern is between 9 pm and midnight tonight. Hail, winds, and tornadoes are all possible with this system. In fact, we're currently seeing tornadoes towards Abilene, Wichita Falls, and Oklahoma.
Once the storms move east, we should stay calm through the remainder of the night. Tomorrow starts off calm and dry with temperatures quickly warming up into the 80's by the afternoon. The skies stay clear through Monday before small rain chances re-enter the picture beginning Tuesday. 90's are in the forecast Tuesday through Thursday before a front drops highs back into the 70's for the weekend.
