Thursday Morning Update!

From Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly….

It was a windy day yesterday! Our highest gust made it up to 51 mph at the Abilene Regional Airport and highest sustained winds at 43 mph. This caused some problems around our area with downed power lines. Also traveling became an issue when DFW was up to a 175 minute delay which affected our own airport. The winds finally subsided by around 8pm getting down into the teens. Along with the wind we have gotten the very dry air with dew points in the teens.

Today we should warm up a little more than yesterday reaching just around average for this time of year- 65 degrees. The Sun will dominate and we will have some lighter winds out of the West Southwest. Overall a perfect fall day looks to be in store and sticking around for a while. Overnight we should stay in the low 40’s. Tomorrow we will again stay just around average with our next cold front arriving sometime in the evening. Although this cold front is Pacific in nature and will not cool us down much at all. Throughout the weekend we should continue to see mid 60’s with lows in the lower 40’s and Sunny skies.

By the beginning of next week we should see a small warming with our temperatures rising to the lower 70’s Tuesday and Wednesday.

Have a great Thursday!
