Warmer Temperatures Will Be Here Soon

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had our first freeze of the season this morning. Temperatures bottomed out in the upper 20s to 30 across the area. High pressure will remain in control over the next couple of days, so we should see mostly sunny skies. A cool afternoon is on tap for us with highs in the mid to upper 50s. The good news is that it won't be as windy today. North winds at 5 to 10 mph are expected. Freezing temperatures will likely return tonight with lows in the low 30s. A few spots may reach the upper 20s. You should go ahead and protect your pets, plants, pipes, and anything else sensitive to freezing again tonight.

With winds shifting back to the south for Thursday through Saturday, temperatures will warm up a little bit. Highs are expected to be in the low to mid 60s and lows in the upper 30s to low 40s. Another cold front still looks to arrive late Saturday night into Sunday morning. This front is expected to be weak and should only cool us down a few degrees. It will likely be yet another dry frontal passage for us. We still haven't had any measurable rainfall at Abilene Regional Airport for the month of November. Our last measureable rainfall at the airport occurred on Halloween.

A quick look at the tropics reveals that Tropical Depression #27 has lost its closed circulation. This is according to the 10 a.m. EST (9 a.m. CST) advisory from the National Hurricane Center. They will be keeping an eye on it to see if the system is able to regenerate. All of this means that the depression has weakend back to a tropical wave or disturbance that will be watched closely.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
