Tuesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We set a new record low this morning at Abilene Regional Airport when we dropped all the way down to 56. That shatters the old record of 60 which was set back in 1912. Despite the cool start, we were able to warm up nicely this afternoon with temperatures in the 80s across the Big Country.

A gradual warming trend looks to take place over the next seven days as an upper level high pressure ridge builds into the region. We will also have moisture begin returning into the area, so enjoy the comfortable conditions now before it starts getting muggy again.

As far as temperatures go, we will see highs in the low to mid 90s and lows ranging from the mid 60s to low 70s the next seven days. Rain looks to be possible by the beginning of next week due to the amount of moisture in place and the hot afternoons providing some instability. The chance for now is only slight but that could get increase as we get closer to that time period.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
