Tuesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had some rainfall move through the Big Country this morning. Some locations saw quite a bit of precipitation. Abilene Regional Airport picked up 0.30" while Sweetwater and Brownwood picked up around an inch. There was quite a bit of cloud cover through the day after the rain stopped. The sun was able to break out late this afternoon and help push our highs into the upper 60s to mid 70s.

Warmer temperatures should return tomorrow due to mostly sunny skies and winds from the west-southwest at 10 to 15 mph. Highs will likely be in the low to mid 80s.

A cold front is expected to arrive in the area late tomorrow night and early Thursday. There is a slight chance of a few showers as the front moves through. Windy conditions are expected with the front as well. It will be a struggle to get out of the 50s for highs, but some locations should make it into the low 60s.

Friday should be a pleasant day with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Our next chance for rain looks to be this weekend. An upper level low will set up again to our west and send some disturbances in our direction before the low itself moves close to the region. For now the chance for rain is 20%, but that could increase as we get closer to the end of the week.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
