Partly cloudy with storms possible tonight and Sunday. Highs in the 90s today and upper 80s Sunday, lows near 60s. Winds from the south at 15 to 20 mph, precipitation chance 40 percent tonight. In irrigation news, High Plains Underground Water Conservation District Manager Raynor discusses a TWDB study predicting Ogallala Aquifer decline of about 50 percent by 2000 and 25 to 33 percent remaining by 2020, urging selective crops and new approaches including pivot irrigation as energy costs and demand shape the sector.
