Finally, something to talk about in the weather department!
I hope you were caught under one of those downpours that rolled through the landscape Monday afternoon. If you missed out, you’ll have another chance today and you’ll also have more opportunities after today if you miss out on rain again. Although today’s best chance for showers and storms comes during the afternoon hours, a few morning showers and non-severe rumbles of thunder could work through near and especially west of I-35. Lampasas, Bell, Coryell, San Saba, and Mills County have the best chance for rain this morning with the southern half of the area featuring the best rain chance this afternoon. Rain chances are near 30% as highs warm into the low-to-mid 70s. Heat index values today still may climb as high as 102°, but it’ll feel oh so pleasant outside compared to last week.
