Tuesday Morning Update

From meteorologist Jason Myers....

Critical fire weather conditions continue. A Red Flag Warning is in effect from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. this afternoon for Fisher, Nolan, Haskell, Throckmorton, Jones, Shackelford, Taylor, Stephens, Comanche, Knox, Eastland, and Callahan counties. Near record high temperatures, very low humidities, and increasing winds from the southwest will lead to this fire danger.
(NWS Red Flag Wrning Statement):

Today's temperatures will climb to 80 degrees or more for most locations across the Big Country. Abilene's record high is 82 degrees set back in 1997...a record that looks to be tied or broken.

Clouds will start to increase this afternoon with an approaching cold front. This cold front will bring cooler temperatures for Wednesday through this weekend, with high temperatures staying in the 60s.

Have a great day and use caution outside with the extremely dry conditions.
