Damp Weather Continues

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

As of 4:00 p.m. this afternoon we have received .04" of rain at Abilene Regional Airport. I know, that's not a whole lot, but at least it's measurable.

Rain chances will remain in the forecast through tomorrow night. An upper level disturbance will push through the area Friday, creating enough lift for possibly a few thunderstorms. I do not expect anything severe, but brief heavy downpours and lightning will be possible Friday.

As this disturbance exits the region, dry air will replace it and dry pattern will rule for the next week or so.

Weekend high temperatures will warm into the lower to middle 60s, with the lower to middle 70s likely Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon highs across the area will likely break 80 degrees as another cold front approaches the area. This next cold front looks to be a dry front at this point. It does not look to be an arctic front either, only knocking temperatures back to the middle 60s.
