Major Computer Problems

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

First off, I apologize for the late update tonight. We have had some major computer problems in the weather center. Nothing that affects our forecasting, but the computer that displays our graphics on the air.

Which, brings up an interesting point. Aren't computers amazing? Right now, at 12:00 a.m. Central, I'm watching a technician in PA work on my computer. They "dial" into the computer and move the mouse and open programs and run the computer just like I can. They've been working on it all day long.

And after I couldn't get a sinlge graphic on TV during either the 6 or 10 p.m. newscasts, by 6 a.m. Tuesday morning you will see the weather just like you did this morning. All because of the folks in PA "dialing" into the system and fixing it. Amazing.

As for our weather, high pressure will dominate over the next few days keeping us Sunny & Warm through Thanksgiving.

After that, we'll be watching an upper level system approach from the West. That system could bring us our first measurable rainfall in Abilene since October 31.

A lot could change between now and Saturday, so "stay tuned."
