Hot and Mainly Calm Week

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We got some much needed rain Friday and Saturday night. Abilene Regional Airport recorded a total of 1.64" for the two days. Unfortunately, we had some severe weather with it that included penny to nickel size hail and winds in excess of 60 mph.

An upper level high pressure ridge should remain in control for much of the week, which means mainly hot and dry conditions for us. The good news is that this ridge doesn't look as strong as the last one so highs should be in the low to mid 90s over the next seven days.

More moisture will be hanging around so it will likely feel a bit muggy. Also, partly cloudy skies can be expected which should help in part with the temperatures.

The ridge may slide to the west just enough by this weekend that we could see an upper level disturbance slide through the area on Sunday. For now, our rain chance is slight on that day and looks to be the only one of the week.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
