Monday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had some showers move through portions of the Big Country today. The rain combined with lots of cloud cover to keep temperatures below average for this time of year. Highs were mainly in the 80s across the region except in Snyder which only made it into the low 70s.

Our record low of 60 here in Abilene set back in 1912 looks to be in jeopardy tonight as lows should be in the upper 50s to low 60s across the area. Good radiational cooling conditions should be shaping up with mainly clear skies, dry air, and light winds. These will all be key if we are to break a record tonight.

Tomorrow looks like a nice day with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 80s. It should remain comfortable with dewpoints remaining in the 40s to low 50s.

Looking at the rest of the week, a little more moisture will build in each day so expect partly cloudy skies to return by midweek. We are expected to remain in a northerly flow aloft so a stray shower or storm can't be completely ruled out this week if we have a strong enough disturbance move through the Big Country, but our chance looks to be less than slight since our air will be drier than last week. Highs look to return back to the low 90s beginning Wednesday and stay there through the end of the week.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
