This is First National Bank of Wichita Falls Doppler 6000 live
We've seen some new developments since 530 when we last showed you the radar they the one that really stands out here is over
The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge this storm has quickly grown. It's not producing
Frequent lightning, but it is producing some heavy rain and moving to the east at about 15 miles per hour
So certainly we'll have to watch that that is the probably the heaviest rain in the new channel 6 viewing area
We have some new developments near
Granfield and to the north of Altus and across North, Texas
We've been watching some storms to the south of Haskell
Those are not technically in the channel 6 viewing area, but certainly worth watching once again
We're gonna be on the lookout for some strong storms tonight
We've already had a severe thunderstorm watch issued for northern Oklahoma coming up
But we'll talk more about the risk for severe weather tonight. What's in store for tomorrow? That's real soon

Councilors agreed to give three businesses money for renovations and Arnold is live at the back door theater with more
Three local businesses are remodeling and the city's going to help fund those projects

Each of those buildings gets 10% of the total cost for the work big mix auto detail on Scott is getting
$8,500 for fencing and electrical work the uniform shop is getting
$1,200 to finish some outdoor siding the back door theater is getting the most money at
$24,000 right now. It's undergoing an extensive remodeling campaign. We're told the primary goal is to make the theater wheelchair accessible
The the use of tax increment financing funds is really to leverage
Development and all three of these are doing that so these are things that will make a difference in the vitality of the downtown
Now each of these projects must be underway within a year to get the funding
But since the back door theater is a nonprofit organization they may get a little leeway on that and Arnold Channel 6 news

Randall Olguin of South Plains died on Sunday after being intact by insurgents officials aren't giving any other details meanwhile congressional
Democrats say they won't approve the president's supplemental funding request for the war in Iraq unless he starts bringing home troops
By January of 2009 Democrats are also proposing a new income tax to offset the costs of the war
We need to stop pretending that this war doesn't cost anything
The war will cost future generations billions of dollars in taxes
They were shoving off on them
And it will cost them because it is devouring money that could be used to expand their educational opportunities
Expand their job opportunities attack our long-term energy problems and build stronger communities
The plan is to add an extra 2% tax to low and middle income taxpayers and 12 to 15% to the wealthy

We're talking about records on Wall Street today's record high
A hundred and two still a ways off but still hot John still hot. There's a cold front over, Oklahoma
It's headed our way. I wish I could tell you it's doing away with the summer heat
That's not the case could be a rainmaker though more on that next
You buy Nissan of Wichita Falls your Nissan your way
live Doppler 6000 based brought to you by First National Bank of Wichita Falls
Now chief forecaster John Cameron and your storm team six true view forecast
Welcome back everybody storms on the radar, but no cool air with those snow
Unfortunately, maybe some rain cooled air if you're very near a thunderstorm a good news is we don't have any severe thunderstorm watches
We don't have any warnings just yet. Can't rule it out to latest night though. Let's check out things now
We're actually seeing thunderstorms develop at a distance with First National Bank of Wichita Falls
Skycam 6 these storms you're seeing there the distance are actually north of the Red River
It's wow 92 degrees heat index of 95
So we're warm and muggy winter become a little bit more southerly which favors more fuel in the area for some thunderstorms
Let's check live radar. This is First National Bank of Wichita Falls Doppler 6000 actually our
Eyes are drawn to this thunderstorm starting to gain a little bit of strength near mirrors and Medicine Park
Thank goodness you can enjoy that Muir's cheeseburger inside this this storm drifting to the east about 10 to 15 miles per hour
Once again, we don't have any watches in place
We don't have any warnings
But as a front pushes southward over the next five six seven hours and and takes advantage of the abundant moisture in place
It could cause some of these storms to be rather strong. Let's look at North Texas real quick
We've been watching the storm in the south of Haskell
It looked like it was trying to move northeasterly
But now a little bit more easterly if not south easterly over the last three hours. Otherwise North Texas is pretty quiet to the north
We see the storms moving in from the south and the east and we see our storm over
The Wichita Mountains we see our cold front here. This is its current location and it's moving very slowly. We're talking perhaps
We're talking perhaps one county per hour at the fastest
So it's not going to make any sudden moves on Wichita Falls and Lawton
We see the winds turning to the northwest behind the front gusty out of the south ahead of the front and hot 90 degrees now
It's Seymour
87 and Graham you probably have a heat index of
9088 now in Lawton 83 and Clinton even behind the front. It's not terribly cool 79 now at Amarillo 87
Abilene the front will continue to push our way very slowly probably be right on our doorstep in Wichita Falls
Just either side of midnight continuing to kick up some showers and thunderstorms now raincast says that by tomorrow afternoon
We'll see clearing skies. I'm not completely
Haven't completely bought that forecast just yet
Let's look more locally county by county as the front moves through we could see a few strong storms
Some of these storms could be capable of producing some 60 70 mile per hour winds
Perhaps hail up to the size of pennies and once again raincast continues to suggest once we get into the afternoon
Skies will be clearing. I have a feeling though that this front is going to put on the brakes across portions of North, Texas
And that means we could see the redevelopment of some storms in the afternoon for Monday Graham and Bowie
So I'm not completely in love with this forecast for raincast. Maybe raincast will prove me wrong. We'll see
All right on the 70 forecast
We'll hang on to slight rain chances into tomorrow and perhaps even into Thursday
And then we'll watch for a front to move in for the weekend, but unfortunately I've had to retract my
Little thread of a cool snap as we get into Sunday and Monday into Columbus Day
I've still got the temperatures trending downward, but not as cool as what we were seeing yesterday
Unfortunately, we're not going to get rid of this summertime heat over the next a few days and the rain chances are slight
Probably from tomorrow afternoon on so we're going to be scanning the skies live with Doppler radar this afternoon first National Bank of
Wichita Falls Doppler 6000 and if these storms go strong or severe will let you know right away. You'll be watching it for us
We'll take it. Thanks so much John. Here's a look at what we're working on for you for 10 o'clock

Hello everyone the fourth and final candidate vying to become the new athletics director at Midwestern State University visited campus today
Andy Carter is currently the AD at Newbury College in Newbury, South Carolina
And he believes a comprehensive strategic plan is the basis for running an athletic department
Successful the fact that football has the biggest budget is an offset of reality
Not not that they're more important than anybody else
But that the tennis coach the golf coach they need to know that they're having the same opportunity to compete
At that high level and I think that's what the strategic plan does
He also believes that fundraising is a grassroots effort
You have to find those people that have an affinity for a project
You're working on and tie their heartstrings so that you can get to the purse strings and I mean that that seems simplistic
It's a lot harder than that, but that's what we've done at Newbury
Now the four candidates for the job Charlie Carr David Williams Rosie Stallman and Andrew Carter have all visited Wichita Falls
All that's left to be done is for President Jesse Rogers to make his decision now
There probably won't be a decision announced tomorrow because dr.
Rogers will be in Austin taking care of some other business
