From meteorologist Jason Myers.......


A beautiful Saturday across the Big Country. With high pressure in control and sunny skies, today's high temperatures across the Big Country have warmed into the upper 50s and lower 60s. High pressure will continue to dominate over the next few days giving us a southerly flow, providing mild temperatures in the lower to upper 60s. Sunday skies will remain mostly sunny, yet Monday we'll have mostly cloudy skies due to the southern branch of the jet stream bringing in middle to high altitude clouds. A pacific cold front will move through the Big Country Tuesday afternoon and evening, bringing the temperatures down. There will be a slight chance of rain for locations east and southeast of Abilene due to more of a moisture supply, yet it looks like everyone in the Big Country will stay dry. Since this cold front is a Pacific cold front, it will not have as much cold air behind it as last week, when we saw cold, arctic fronts move through. Wednesday and Thursday's high temperatures will remain in the mid 50s.

Enjoy the beautiful weather!
