Cool Sunday....Mild Work Week

From meteorologist Jason Myers.......

As of 6:00 p.m., clouds are moving back into the Big Country, which should help temperatures from falling to the freezing mark tonight. Today, a cold front moved through West Central Texas, moving through Abilene around 1:30 p.m. However, temperatures were still able to make it up into the lower 60s with the help of sunshine. The gusty winds that have been blowing up plenty of dust today, should start to diminish overnight. The clouds will stay with us on Sunday, giving us partly cloudy skies and a high in the upper 50s. High pressure will really dominate this week, giving the Big Country mostly sunny skies Monday through Thanksgiving Day. Temperatures Monday through Thanksgiving will range in the mid 60s to lower 70s, making for a very comfortable week temperature-wise.

Tropical Storm Gamma looks to weaken as upper level winds are already tearing the storm apart. Winds currently are 45 mph, with the storm moving slowly to the north at 2 mph. Because of the upper level winds, strengthening should not happen, and the storm should be picked up by the strong cold front that is moving across the U.S., and that moved across the Big Country today.

Have a great rest of the weekend, and take the jacket with you in the mornings and for the evenings, even though the daytime temperatures may be a little more milder this week.
