Thursday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had an unseasonably warm day here in the Big Country. In fact, we set a new record high of 90 at Abilene Regional Airport. That breaks the old record of 88 set back in 1988. Across the rest of the viewing area, highs were in the mid 80s to 90.

A cold front is expected to move through the area starting tomorrow morning. We will likely see no rain due to a lack of moisutre. Highs will range from the upper 60s in the northern portions of the viewing area to the mid to upper 70s in the southern portions. Winds will be breezy from the north-northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Two more cold fronts should affect the region over the next seven days. One should arrive late Sunday into early Monday. There is a slight chance of rain for the southeastern portions of the viewing area with this front. The other cold front looks to arrive late Tuesday. Precipitation does not look likely with this one due to a lack of moisture. Highs this weekend through Thursday of next week should be in the mid 60s to mid 70s with the coolest temperatures being on Saturday.

Have a fantastic Friday!
