Cooler Week....Hurricane Season Not Over

From meteorologist Jason Myers......

A very nice fall day across the Big Country with a high of 69 degrees for Abilene after starting off with a morning low of 47 degrees. Some scattered clouds are currently over the Big Country and will stay with us over the next two days, giving us partly cloudy skies. A cold front moved through earlier today and helped keep the temperatures cooler. Cool air will stay in place tomorrow with highs only reaching the lower 70s. Monday night into Tuesday morning a strong cold front will push through giving us some very cold air. Also, the cold front will give us very windy conditions with some wind gusts up to 40 mph during the day Tuesday....winds will mainly be from the NNW at 20-35 mph. Keep this in mind, especially if you are going to be outdoors, or driving a high profile vehicle. Tuesday the high temperature will only reach the upper 50s, yet the coldest period of time will be Tuesday night into Wednesday morning when low temperatures drop at or below the freezing mark for the Big Country. Temperatures will continue to stay cool with highs in the low to mid 60s Wednesday through Friday.

Tropical Depression 27 has formed in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. TD 27 could become Tropical Storm Gamma by tomorrow. Maximum sustained winds are at 35 mph with a west-northwest movement around 10 mph. This storm does not look to affect the U.S., and looks to only reach tropical storm status through it's life-cyle. TD 27 is located 100 miles west of St. Vincent and 115 miles west of St. Lucia. Hurricane season runs through November 30th.

Get the extra blanket out for the bed, check the car fluid levels, and have your coat ready because we're finally going to see some cold weather this week!
