From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We have had above average temperatures and mostly cloudy skies throughout the day here in the Big Country. Temperatures started out in mid 50s this morning and only warmed up into the mid to upper 60s this afternoon. Some showers moved through portions of the area around lunchtime, but there was very little, if any, accumulation.
An upper level low continues to sit around the Baja California region. This low will get caught up in a developing upper level trough in the western part of the country. We will have some upper level disturbances move across the area tonight and tomorrow. There is a 50% chance of showers due to these lifting mechanisms moving over an airmass that has become more saturated today. A few thunderstorms can't be ruled out, but they are unlikely. It will be windy tomorrow due to a surface low pressure system developing over the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. We can expect sustained south winds of 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts throughout the day. Highs look to be in the low 70s.
There is a slight chance of some lingering showers early Sunday as a cold front moves across the region. Highs look to be in the upper 60s to low 70s. The colder air behind the front is not expected to really filter in until the afternoon and evening. Winds will be lighter, but it should still be breezy.
Monday will be cooler and dry with highs in the low 60s.
Tuesday and Wednesday should be warmer with highs in the upper 60s under mostly sunny skies.
Have a super Saturday!

Dreary Start to the Weekend
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
We have seen a very mild Thursday night with temperatures dropping to the low 50's. An almost twenty degree warm up compared to 24 hrs ago. Clouds have begun to stream in and should hang tight through the beginning of the weekend. This is thanks to an upper level low that is still spinning off the Baja peninsula but should begin its trek northeast today. This system could swing disturbances through mainly beginning late this evening. Along with the low a cold front to our North situated around the red river could spark a few showers. Temperatures through the day will hit the upper 60's and lows will stay in the upper 50's.
The upper level low and an associated cold front will move closer to us through the weekend. The best chance of rain should come from Friday night through Saturday. Along with the rain Saturday’s winds will be gusting up to 25-30mph.
A slight chance will remain Sunday but as the cold front makes its way through it help eliminate any rain chances by drying us back out. Saturday may be a good day to decorate the tree with Sunday being the day to put the lights on the house!
The beginning of the week will be cooler with highs in the low 60's and lows in the 30's. By Tuesday we should return to the 70's with lows in the 40's.
Have a great day!

Thursday Evening Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off with cold below average temperatures this morning, but by this afternoon we had temperatures close to what we typically see this time of year. Highs were in the upper 50s to mid 60s.
Warmer temperatures are expected tomorrow with highs in the mid 60s to 70. Skies will be mostly cloudy and there is a 20% chance of showers during the day. The reason for our chance for rain is due to a southwest flow aloft. There is an upper level low around Baja California which could send a few disturbances our way.
This same set up will be with us on Saturday. We also have a cold front that is expected to move through the region. It looks like our best chance for rain will be Friday night into Saturday. That chance is 30%. With a surface low to our north in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, we will likely see south winds of 20 to 30 mph.
There is a 20% chance of lingering showers Sunday morning with breezy conditions expected throughout the day. Highs look to be in the low to mid 60s. We should see another cold front move through late Sunday. This will lead to cooler conditions for the beginning of next week.
Monday is expected to be mostly sunny and dry with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Tuesday and Wednesday should be warmer and dry with highs in the mid to upper 60s.
Have a fantastic Friday!

A Chilly Morning, Pleasant Afternoon
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
It was a pleasant afternoon across the Big Country as temperatures rose to 70 degrees. The speedy cold front made its way into out area around 3pm and hit I20 just around 6pm. It was all the way passed by 8 pm. With the front the winds gusted and switched to the North which has made for a very chilly overnight. This morning bundle up as you head out side as wind chills are in the 20's for our northern counties with the rest of us feeling like the low 30's.
The winds quickly switch back today toward the early afternoon, this will help us to warm up but still stay shy of the highs we saw yesterday. It will be a very pleasant afternoon with highs in the low 60's and light winds.
With cloud cover increasing overnight and southerly winds temperatures will not drop near as cold, hovering around 50 degrees.
This weekend will start of nice for Friday but an upper level trough combined with a cold front could make for a few showers Friday night through early Sunday. The system looks to brush the panhandle which would keep the bulk of the activity to our west and north. The best timing to see activity will continue to be the first day in December. Along with the system a front moves through late Saturday and will drop temperatures from upper 60's to low 60's and lows return our low to the upper 30's. Saturday may be a good time to get some shopping done while Sunday may be perfect for getting some outdoor Christmas decorations up!
The beginning of the week the sky will be dominated with sunshine, mid 60's for highs and low 40's for lows.
Have a great day!

Wednesday Evening Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It was a beautiful day here in the Big Country with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. We did have breezy southwest winds this morning, but that has now changed to strong northwest winds this evening due to a cold front that is passing through the region. Unfortunately, we will not see any precipitation with this front.
We will start off cold in the morning with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. It is mainly in the western and northern portions of the area where temperatures will get to freezing. Be sure to take care of your pets and plants. Highs tomorrow should be seasonal with highs in the low to mid 60s.
An upper level low that is currently sitting around the Baja California region should weaken and move towards us as an upper level trough. This will bring us the chance for rain beginning Friday night and continuing through early Sunday. The chance for rain is 20% to 30% with the best shot being on Saturday. That is day that we will also see another cold front move through the area. Highs during this time period should be in the mid 60s to low 70s.
The first half of next week looks dry with highs ranging form the upper 50s on Monday to the mid 60s next Wednesday.
Have a terrific Thursday!

The Week of Fronts
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
It was a night to snuggle in the blankets as temperatures drop to the low to mid 40's. As you head out the door with the jacket and coffee be expecting some breezy winds that will make it feel 5 - 10 degrees cooler. Driving to work you will probably want to keep the coffee in the cup holder and both hands on the wheel as we could see some gusts to 25 mph.
The week of fronts is what is in store for us over the next several days beginning with today. The first front of the week will arrive around dinner time; it will bring a few clouds and switch in the winds which drop the temperatures back to the mid 30's for the tomorrow morning. Behind that front temperatures rebound to the low 60's for Thursday and Friday as winds quickly switch back to the Southeast.
This weekend a string of fronts make their path through the Big Country. Also, an upper level trough will make its push east brining the rain chances from late Friday through Sunday. It may be a good weekend to get some Christmas shopping done early. The best chance of rain will come Saturday, with the coolest front likely coming late Saturday into Sunday. Behind this front lows drop from the upper 40's to mid 30's.

Temps Will Be Like An Elevator This Week
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off cold this morning with temperatures in the low to mid 30s, but by this afternoon it was seasonal across the Big Country. Highs were in the low to mid 60s. Any snow that was left out there from Sunday's storm is definitely gone now with temperatures getting well above freezing today.
The warming trend looks to continue tomorrow with highs in the mid 60s to 70. We will have breezy conditions with winds shifting from the southwest to the northwest in the afternoon. The reason for the shift is due to a cold front that will move through the area. No precipitation is expected with this front.
Thursday will be cooler with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s under mostly sunny skies.
Friday should be a bit warmer with highs in the mid to upper 60s under partly cloudy skies. A cold front is expected to move through the area at then end of the work week too. There is a 20% chance of showers Friday night.
This weekend will be a bit cooler and windy with highs in the low to mid 60s. An upper level trough should move across the region during this time period. There is a 30% chance of rain on Saturday and a 20% chance on Sunday. Another cold front looks to move across the area on Sunday. This will cool us down for the start of the next work week.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

No More Snow for November
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
It was another chilly start with temperatures again in the mid 30's this morning. Grab a warm breakfast and head out the door but make sure to dress in layers as temperatures by the afternoon will reach the low 60's so only a light long sleeve layer will be needed. Through the day the sun will be shining. Tonight lows will only drop to the mid 40's with southerly winds as high pressure slides to the east.
Tomorrow we will continue the warming trend with highs reaching the mid to upper 60's. Our next front should arrive around dinner time and will make for another cold overnight with lows in the mid 30's. Highs should rebound nicely Thursday as winds will quickly switch back to the South.
The next system comes as the weekend begins and brings a slight chance of rain from Friday night through Saturday. This front doesn't make a dent to much in the temperatures keeping us from the low to mid 60's and lows in the lower 40's.
If you remember a year ago, we kicked off December with a 40 degree temperatures drop and snow, well it looks like that came a week earlier this year and we will start off December on the warm side of our average temperatures.
Have a great day!

Warmer Temperatures Ahead
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
Just about all of the snow we had yesterday has now melted. Highs today ranged from the low 40s in the western part of the viewing area to the low 60s in the southeastern part. The reason for the large difference in temperatures was due to the snow on the ground. The places that had the snow were cooler than those that didn't. You don't get as warm when there is a snowpack on the ground because all of the heating of the day is going into melting the snow. Snowfall amounts ranged from 2 to 7 inches across the area. The largest amounts were reported around Fisher and Nolan counties. Here in Abilene, we had a record snowfall amount of 3.5 inches. That broke the old record of 0.8" in 1980. Right now, we have the third snowiest November on record in Abilene with 6.6". All of that has fallen since Thanksgiving. The two years with higher amounts are 1918 with 8.2" and 1968 with 8.1".
It will be another cold night for us as lows should be in the low to mid 30s. There could be some refreezing of any water left out there from the melting snow in some areas so be careful. Also, protect your pets and plants tonight since it will be cold.
The warming trend looks to continue the next couple of days with highs in the low to mid 60s under partly cloudy skies.
A cold front is expected to arrive late Wednesday into early Thursday. Rain does not look likely with this front. Highs for Thursday should be in the upper 50s to low 60s.
We will warm up a bit on Friday with highs in the mid 60s. A cold front looks to arrive late Friday into Saturday. This will bring us a slight to 20% chance of rain with the best shot being on Saturday. Highs for the first half of the weekend will be in the upper 50s to low 6os.
Sunday should be warmer with highs in the upper 60s under partly cloudy skies.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Warming Trend Begins
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
It was truly a winter wonderland to kick off our Holiday Season. Yesterday we picked up 3.5 inches of Snow at the Abilene Regional Airport a record amount for the day beating out .8 inches in 1980. If you add that amount to the 3.1 inches we say on Thanksgiving we are on store for the third Snowiest November with a total of 6.60 Inches.
After the snow cleared out so has the clouds cover making temperatures drop. It will be a chilly start with temperatures mainly in the low 30's. Also, be careful on the roadways especially elevated surfaces. As the sunshine returns today temperatures will quickly warm up to the mid 50's, 15-20 degrees warmer than where we sat for the Holiday weekend.
We will stay quiet for the beginning of the week as High pressure sticks around and winds eventually switch back the South continuing the warming trend. Our next front will push through late Wednesday brining us a little cool down. The second front passes by just in time for the weekend bringing the next chance of rain from Friday night into Saturday.
Highs will return to the mid 60's, with lows mainly in mid 40's.
Have a great day!

Saturday Evening Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz......
Rain has begun falling in the Big Country and a wintry mix of precipitation is beginning to spread into western Mitchell and Coke counties. As temperatures drop early this morning, the rain will change over to snow primarily along and west of an Albany to Abilene to Sterling City line. Those to the east of this line may see some snow but the accumulation will be much less as temperatures will remain at or above freezing overnight.
Accumulations will range from 1 -3 inches in the Abilene area to as much as 4 - 5 inches in the western Big Country. Roadways should remain clear of ice and snow as temperatures will only fall just below freezing tonight. However, bridges and overpasses may ice over this evening so be mindful of that if you are driving early tomorrow morning.
Stay tuned to KRBC Weather for future updates.

Accumulations will range from 1 -3 inches in the Abilene area to as much as 4 - 5 inches in the western Big Country. Roadways should remain clear of ice and snow as temperatures will only fall just below freezing tonight. However, bridges and overpasses may ice over this evening so be mindful of that if you are driving early tomorrow morning.
Stay tuned to KRBC Weather for future updates.

More Snow On The Way
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We had warmer, but chilly temperatures here in the Big Country today. Highs were in the mid 30s to mid 40s under overcast skies. The reason we warmed up was due to no precipitation and southeast winds.
A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Mitchell, Scurry and Stonewall counties from Saturday morning through Sunday morning. Coke, Fisher, Haskell, Jones, Nolan and Taylor counties are under a Winter Storm Watch for Saturday evening through Sunday morning. An upper level low is expected to move across the state this weekend. The counties mentioned have the potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel. It looks like we will all see the preciptation begin as rain tomorrow, but then change to a rain, sleet, snow mix for the western half of the viewing area in the afternoon. By the evening it should be all snow in the western half of the Big Country. In the eastern communites, it could change to a rain/snow mix tomorrow night and possibly all snow Sunday morning if temperatures can get cold enough. Right now, highs this weekend look to be in the mid 30s with lows in the upper 20s to low 30s. As far as snow accumulations go, I think from Knox, Haskell, Jones, Taylor and Runnels county westward it could be 3 to 6 inches total. Throckmorton, Shackelford, Callahan and Coleman could see 1 to 2 inches. Stephens, Eastland, Comanche and Brown could see an inch or less. There could be locally heavier amounts depending on where the heavy snow bands set up. This is all best case scenario if temperatures get below freezing in all areas and the low takes the track it is projected on right now. Travel could be potential hazardous, especially from Abilene north into the panhandle and west to Midland. If you are going to be going traveling to any high school football games, dress warmly and drive safely.
We will see temperatures get closer to where they should be for this time of year early next week. Highs should be in the mid 50s on Monday and the low to mid 60s Tuesday and Wednesday.
A cold front will move through the area late Wednesday bringing a slight chance of rain Wednesday and Thursday. Highs Thursday and next Friday should be in the mid to upper 50s.
Have a super and safe Saturday!

Friday Morning Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz....
A brief respite from the snow today, but the rest of the weekend looks to be unsettled as an upper level low settles in to the desert southwest which will provide continuing chances of rain/snow through the weekend.
Temperatures this afternoon will remain well below normal in the upper 30's (west) to the lower 40's (east). Mostly cloudy conditions may clear up just a bit in the eastern Big Country which will allow slightly warmer temperatures this afternoon.
If you have outdoor plans this weekend, including travelling across the state to watch your favorite high school football team in the playoffs, keep in mind that rain and snow will be expected throughout the weekend as well as very cold temperatures as well.
Stay tuned to KRBC for further updates on the developing winter weather situation this weekend.
Have a great Black Friday!!!

Another Round of Wintry Precipitation Possible
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It looks like a winter wonderland across most of the Big Country today for Thanksgiving. An upper level disturbance moved across the Lone Star State bringing snow, sleet and rain. Snow accumulations of 2 to 5 inches have been reported across mainly the central and western portions of the Big Country where temperatures have been at or below freezing all day. The eastern part of the area will likely only see a dusting to an inch due to being above freezing for much of the day.
A Heavy Snow Warning continues for much of the area through midnight tonight. A Snow Advisory continues for Stonewall, Scurry and Mitchell counties until 9 p.m. tonight. Haskell and Throckmorton counties are under the Snow Advisory until midnight. Knox, Stephens, Eastland and Comanche counties are not under a warning or advisory at this time. The snow and sleet should taper off sometime after midnight tonight. Total snow accumulations from today's disturbance could reach as high as 6 inches in some locations. Lows look to be in the upper 20 to low 30s. Since temperatures will likely be at or below freezing for most of the area throughout the night, there will be some slick and icy spots on the roadways. Be careful if you have to be out and about, especially on bridges and overpasses.
For those of you heading out to the big shopping sales in the morning, be sure to dress warmly and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination. Temperatures will start off in the upper 20s and only warm up into the upper 30s to low 40s by the afternoon. There could be some icy spots on roadways through the morning.
An upper level low looks to develop in a trough to our west tomorrow. Upper level disturbances should begin moving through the area late tomorrow. The low itself will move across the state this weekend. It looks like we will have a chance of rain, sleet and snow during this time period. The precipitation could be mixed at times while at others it could be all rain or all snow. The type and amount will depend heavily on the exact strength and track of the low. Temperatures will range from the upper 20s to mid 30s Friday night through Sunday night. If we see snow and/or ice, there could be some accumulation. It is a bit too early to tell how much though. We should have a better estimate by tomorrow.
Next week looks warmer with highs returning to the mid 50s on Monday and the low to mid 60s by Tuesday, Wednesday and next Thursday. There is a slight chance of rain on Wednesday and a 20% chance on Thursday due to another upper level system moving into the area.
Have a fantastic Friday!

Heavy Snow Warning In Effect For Part Of The Big Country
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
The National Weather Service has issued a Heavy Snow Warning until midnight for Callahan, Fisher, Jones, Nolan, Shackelford and Taylor counties. The Snow Advisory is no longer in effect for these counties. Snow will continue to fall this afternoon into tonight. The snow will be heavy at times which will reduce visibilities to less than a mile and cause roads to become slick and icy. This will include the Interstate 20 corridor. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches will be possible. The snow will begin to taper off by the late evening hours and end sometime after midnight tonight. A Heavy Snow Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of snow are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an emergency. If you must, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. Stay tuned to KRBC for further weather updates.

Cold Temperatures With Snow Possible For Thanksgiving
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It was much colder across the area today thanks to a strong cold front that moved through this morning. Temperatures have been in the 40s and 50s all day since the front passed. Winds have been strong from the north which made it feel even cooler.
A Freeze Warning is in effect for the majority of the viewing area from midnight tonight through 10 a.m. tomorrow morning. The counties not under the Freeze Warning are: Stonewall, Scurry, Mitchell and Comanche. This is our first widespread freeze of the season for the region. Be sure to protect your pets, plants and pipes. Lows should be in the upper 20s to 30. With winds from the north at 10 to 15 mph, it will feel even colder.
It is going to be a chilly Thanksgiving for the Big Country this year. Highs look to be in the low to mid 40s under cloudy skies. An upper level disturbance is expected to move across the state tomorrow. This will bring us a 20% chance of rain and snow showers. No snow accumulation is expected at this time because the ground temperature is still too warm. I won't completely rule out a dusting on cars, bridges and overpasses and other elevated objects, but it doesn't look likely right now.
An upper level trough is expected to dig into the western part of the country over the next couple of days. An upper level low should develop and swing across the state beginning late Friday and not exit until late Sunday. Highs during this time period are expected to be in the upper 30s to mid 40s with lows in the upper 20s to low 30s. This means we could see a rain possibly mixed with snow or sleet during the day and snow or a wintry mix at night. We are keeping a close eye on this system. Things could change between now and then so stay tuned.
The first half of next week looks dry with highs in the mid 50s to low 60s.
Have a terrific Thanksgiving Day!

A Chilly Thanksgiving Holiday
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
Another warm one settled across the Big Country yesterday but if you think you are going to be able to dress the same as you did yesterday, you will be chilly.
An arctic cold front is currently making its way through the Big Country and should be all the way through our area by late morning. Temperatures are rapidly dropping behind it as winds switch to the north/northwest. This front is dropping temperatures 30 degrees in most areas. Amarillo last night went from 80 around 5 pm to 50 at 8pm. This is a precursor of that we are going to be seeing. Our temperatures through the morning have continued to drop from the mid 60's just after midnight to the mid 40's as it swung by. Those 40's are what we are going to be seeing for afternoon highs. Today dress warm, grab the jackets, closed toed shoes and if you are going to be coming home late even a pair of gloves.
As we roll into Thanksgiving tomorrow, waking up temperatures are going to be chilly in the low 30's. You may have to turn the heater on as you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. With the ovens in full swing the house will not only be smelling pleasant but should help to keep the house warm.
A trough that will build out to the west will be our main player in our weather for the next several days. The first wave associated with the system could bring a chance for precipitation on Turkey Day but with dry air in our lower levels most of the activity will be light. As weekend progress this trough should develop an upper level low that will swing somewhere across the Lone Star State. The exact track and strength of the low will depend on how much activity we will see. The other factor playing in is what kind of precip we will see. Depending on the time of day we could see a rain, rain/snow mix or all snow if it is overnight. This is something we are keeping an eye on and will keep you updated.
One thing is for certain- winter has come a little early, and will be here till the beginning of next week. Highs will be in the mid 40's with lows in the lower 30's. Grab the sweaters, jackets and hot cocoa and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Wintry Precipitation Possible This Holiday Weekend
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
Warm above average temperatures continued for us today. Highs were in the upper 70s to low 80s. We also had windy conditions with sustained south-southwest winds of 15 to 25 mph. Gusts were as high as 30 to 35 mph. I hope you enjoyed the warm conditions today because BIG changes are coming our way beginning tomorrow.
A strong cold front is expected to move through the area overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. This will be the coldest air we have seen so far this fall season. Highs for Wednesday look to range from the low 50s in the northern part of the viewing area to around 60 in our southern commmunites. These numbers will be set in the morning with temperatures dropping into the 40s throughout the day. It will feel even colder with winds from the north at 15 to 25 mph. There is a slight chance of a few showers as the front goes by.
Our first freeze of the fall season will be on Thanksgiving morning. It won't be much warmer in the afternoon as highs only reach the low to mid 40s. An upper level disturbance may move through the area Thursday night. We could see a rain/snow mix or possibly all snow. If it is all snow, it will likely be flurries or light snow showers. There is still a question as to whether enough moisture will have built back into the area behind the front so the chance of precipitation is only 20%.
There is a better chance of wintry preciptation Friday night through Sunday. An upper level trough is expected to dig into the Four Corners region. An upper level low should develop in the trough and move across the Lone Star State this weekend. The strength and path of this system will have an impact on just how cold it will be and how much precipitation we see. For now, lows during this time period will be in the low 30s with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. This means we could see snow during the night and rain or a wintry mix during the day. We have had warm temperatures lately so our ground temperatures are warm. Any snow we see would have a tough time sticking to non-elevated surfaces. As of now if we see any trouble spots, it would likely be on bridges, overpasses and other elevated surfaces. We know many of you will be out and about shopping and traveling this weekend. We will continue to keep a close eye on this system and keep you updated with the latest forecasts.
Warmer and drier conditions are expected for early next week.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and travel safe!

One More Warm One
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
Yesterday the fog and low clouds diminished to sunshine helping us to reach the upper 70's to low 80's. Overnight the winds make it feel a little bit cooler but temperatures are still steadily in the upper 50's to low 60's ( remember these our where our highs are usually in late November).
This morning the fog and low clouds have again developed giving us reduced visibilities in some areas. The clouds will begin to break as we see the heating of the day and give way to mostly sunny skies by the afternoon. The winds will also be kicking up gusting up to 25 mph. Highs for one more day will stay unseasonably warm hitting around 80.
The artic chill that will bring us from 20 degrees above average temperatures to 20 degrees below average will arrive around sunrise tomorrow morning. Ahead of the front lows will get down to the lower 50's. They may increase a couple of degrees as the cool air filters in but temperatures will continue on the downward trend through the afternoon eventually dipping to the 40’s during the afternoon and low 30’s overnight.
Unlike the last cool downs temperatures are going to be staying cold for the next several days. Thanksgiving morning we could see out first possible freeze of the season. Along with that the chance for precipitation returns to our forecast for the Holiday weekend, with temperatures dropping so cold we are going to see the chance for frozen precipitation. Chances begin Thanksgiving and continue through Sunday. Highs will be in the mid 40's with lows right around freezing.
Since we have not seen our first freeze of the season you may want to start thinking ahead about protecting the three P's- Plants, Pets and Pipes.
With the possibility of seeing the snow especially during the overnights we are keeping a close eye on the forecast and will keep you updated with the latest.
Have a wonderful day!

Since we have not seen our first freeze of the season you may want to start thinking ahead about protecting the three P's- Plants, Pets and Pipes.
With the possibility of seeing the snow especially during the overnights we are keeping a close eye on the forecast and will keep you updated with the latest.
Have a wonderful day!

Get Your Winter Wardrobe Ready
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We continued to have warm above average temperatures here in the Big Country today. Highs ranged from the mid 70s to low 80s. This is about 10 to 15 degrees above average for this time of year.
There was some morning fog across the area today and we could begin with the same tomorrow. You should give yourself some extra time to get to your destination because of the reduced visibilities. Despite that, it looks like we have even warmer temperatures tomorrow. This will be thanks in part to strong south-southwest winds of 15 to 25 mph. Highs are expected to be in the low to mid 80s.
Enjoy the warmth now because the coldest air we have seen so far this fall season will be here Wednesday. A strong cold front is expected to move through the area during the morning. We will see highs in the 50s early in the day, but temperatures should drop into the mid to upper 40s by late afternoon. There is a slight chance of seeing a few sprinkles with the passing of the front. It looks like there will be no major travelling problems in the Lone Star State for those of you heading out of town to see friends and family for the holiday.
Our first freeze of the season should occur Thursday morning. You should make preparations now to protect your pets, plants and pipes because lows will be in the upper 20s to low 30s for the second half of the week. Thanksgiving looks to be on the chilly side this year with highs in the mid 40s.
There is a slight to 20% chance of precipitation Thursday night through Sunday. An upper level trough looks build to our west and move across the area during this time period. The exact timing and strength of this system will have a major impact on what type of precipitaiton we see. Highs for the long holiday weekend are expected to be in the low to mid 40s. As of right now, if a disturbance comes through the area during the day we will likely see just rain. However, if a disturbance comes through during the night we could see some snow. We have experienced some warm temperatures lately and our ground temperature is warm right now too. Due to this, any wintry precipitation that we see will likely not stick. There may be some issues with elevated surfaces (if we see frozen precipitation), but with temperatures getting above freezing during the day it will melt. This is a situation that we will be keeping a close eye on all week. Stay tuned to KRBC for the latest forecast updates.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Big Cool Down Comes for Thanksgiving
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
We saw the warm temperatures return to the Big Country this weekend with highs hitting the 80 mark yesterday.
This morning we are dealing with some morning fog across the area mainly in our Southern and Eastern counties. If the fog is in your area allow a few extra minutes as some areas are seeing reduced visibilities of less than a mile. The fog will burn off my late morning giving away to plenty of sunshine. Highs will make it into the lower 80's knocking on the door of our record high of 85. Although we should not hit the record we will be coming close. Overnight we will see a few clouds with mid 50's for lows. With High pressure in store through tomorrow we will again see sunshine with a few scattered clouds and very similar temperatures to today.
Wednesday is when the big change comes for the week. A strong artic front makes shove through Texas arriving in our area around sunrise. This front is packing quit a punch and will drop our temperatures significantly. Highs will be in the 50's with lows dropping to around 30. These temperatures will stay around through our Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Come the weekend we have a chance to precipitation, because of the temperatures we could see the possibility of a wintry mix. We will be keeping a close eye on this situation.
Have a great day!

Sunday Evening Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz.......
We will start off the week with very warm and dry conditions persisting across the Big Country. Afternoon highs will remain in the low to mid 80's areawide through Tuesday before a major cool down takes place on Tuesday night. A cold front will dive south across the plains into west central Texas and highs from Wednesday through the end of the week will fall into the 50's.
Although there will be little chance of any rain with the front, save for possibly the southeastern Big Country, an areawide freeze is expected on Thursday night and some locations will fall below freezing as early as Wednesday night. In Abilene, a freeze will be possible both Wednesday and Thursday night but locations to the south of I-20 will likely only see a freeze on Thursday night except in low-lying areas.
Next weekend, chances for rain will enter into the forecast as an upper level low is progged to move out from northern Mexico. Computer models continue to show precipitation breaking out across mainly the southern half of the Big Country next Saturday and into Sunday.
Have a great week!!!

Saturday Evening Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz......
A few showers did manage to develop in our southeastern counties this afternoon from near Brownwood over to Comanche. These showers will begin to taper off as we approach sunset and no additional development is expected.
The upper level trough responsible for the showers in Brown and Comanche counties today will move to the east tomorrow and take all of the chances of rain with it. For the next few days, a warming trend will take place and afternoon highs will rise up into the low to mid 80's by Tuesday.
Late Tuesday night, however, a strong cold front will pass through the area and this front will usher in the coolest air of this season. Highs will fall dramatically from the 80's on Tuesday to the mid-50's on Wednesday. The biggest impact will be on our overnight lows however. Wednesday night, many locations, especially in the northern Big Country will experience temperatures below the freezing mark for the first time this year. Thursday night, a widespread freeze is expected across the area from north to south.
On Saturday and into next weekend, we might see another slight chance of rain develop as a trough moves in out of northern Mexico.
Keep in mind that temperatures are expected to fall below freezing on Thursday night and possibly on Wednesday night as well, so be sure to protect plants and outside faucets.

Friday Evening Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off cool early this morning with temperatures in the upper 30s to mid 40s, but by this afternoon we had warmed up into the low to mid 70s. Skies were mostly to partly cloudy thanks to an upper level low that is currently around west Texas and northern Mexico.
We have a slight chance of rain this weekend thanks to the upper level low moving across the southern portion of the Lone Star State. It looks like the best shot at seeing some showers will be in the southern part of the viewing area. More moisture should have returned to that area versus the rest of the Big Country. Highs this weekend are expected to be in the mid to upper 70s.
Monday and Tuesday will be dry with warm above average temperatures. Highs should be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Windy conditions are expected to return on Tuesday.
It will remain windy on Wednesday with the arrival of a strong cold front. This front looks to move through the area during the morning hours. Highs should be in the mid to upper 50s, but that will likely be in the morning with temperatures dropping through the day. There is a slight chance of rain for the middle of the week too.
We will continue a slight chance of precipitation for Thanksgiving. The reason it is only a slight chance is due to the possibility of a lack of moisture. It is expected to be a cold Turkey Day with temperatures starting off in the upper 20s to low 30s in the morning. Highs should be in the mid to upper 40s in the afternoon.
The cold air lingers into next Friday, the big shopping day, with highs in the mid 40s to 50. You will want to dress in layers with coats as you are going out for those early morning deals. Temperatures to start off the day will be in the upper 20s to low 30s.
Have a super Saturday!

Thursday Evening Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It was a cool day across the Big Country thanks to the cold front that passed by us yesterday. Light winds from the north also helped us have below average temperatures today. Lows this morning were in the mid to upper 30s while highs were in the upper 50s to mid 60s this afternoon.
Another chilly night is expected tonight with lows in the upper 30s to around 40. Winds from the south-southeast should increase from 5 to 15 mph throughout the night. This and the partly cloudy skies are what will keep us from seeing freezing temperatures. If the winds do not pick up and they remain light overnight and the clouds don't hang around, then we could see even colder temperatures especially in low-lying areas.
Warmer temperatures look to be with us Friday through Tuesday. Highs should be in the low to mid 70s for the end of this work week through Monday. The weather is looking great for football games here in the Big Country Friday night and for the ACU game on Saturday. By Tuesday, highs will be in the mid to upper 70s. Windy conditions are expected Friday, Monday and Tuesday. There is a slight chance of rain Saturday night into Sunday due to an upper level disturbance moving across the state. The south and southeastern portions of the viewing area have the best shot at seeing rain.
A strong cold front is expected to move through the region late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. This will bring much colder temperatures to the area for the Thanksgiving holiday. Highs on Wednesday look to be in the mid to upper 50s. That looks to occur early in the day with temperatures falling through the afternoon. It will likely be windy with a slight chance of rain as well. We know many of you may be traveling for Thanksgiving so we will keep a close eye on this front next week.
It looks like a chilly Thanksgiving for us this year. Temperatures will start off in the upper 20s to low 30s and only warm up into the low to mid 40s. There is a slight chance of precipitaiton as well. Since we are still a week away, it is a little to early to tell for sure if this precipitation will be of the frozen variety. If it was, it would not stick around much, if at all, due to the recent warm temperatures. This scenario is still a week away and a lot could change between now and then so nothing is set in stone right now. Stay tuned for the latest forecasts.
Have a fantastic Friday!

A Cold Thursday Morning
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly
We saw a very cool day to mark the half way point in the week. A cold front made its way through in the morning hitting our northern counties by 7 am and making it all the way through by 1pm. It brought with us some windy conditions with gusts over 30 mph. The winds have calmed down and the skies have cleared which has made temperatures plummet to the upper 30's to low 40's. On your way out the door grab the jacket and you may even want to get some gloves because the steering wheel is going to be cold.
Today we will continue to see North/Northeast winds because of a High pressure sitting over the Panhandle. The cooler air will stick around keeping our highs below average around 60. We will see plenty of sunshine with just a few clouds. Overnight will be another chillier one as temperatures drop to around 40.
We will start the weekend on a warming trend as High pressure slides off to the east and switches our winds back out of the South. Temperatures will gradually get back to the low to mid 70's. Overnight lows in the lower 50's.
This weekend the low pressure system that has been spinning off the Baja Peninsula will finally make its move eastward. It has slowed down quit a bit and now looks like it will bring rain on Sunday. The bulk of the activity looks like it will stay in the Hill Country and along the coast but it could push into our Southern and Eastern counties.
Next week we will start off quiet then another front may arrive just in time for Holiday travel. This system is bringing cooler weather once again. For right now Highs will drop to the upper 50's to low 60's, lows in the 30's.
Have a great day!

Fall Is Back...But Only For A Short Stay
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
A cold front moved through the Big Country today. We ended up with a wide range of high temperatures across the area because of the timing of the front. Highs were in the low to mid 60s in the northern communites while our southern communites were able to reach the low 80s. Winds were strong from the north-northwest with gusts as high as 30 to 35 mph.
It looks like a cold night tonight with lows in the mid to upper 30s. The winds should be just strong enough to keep us from seeing a widespread freeze or frost overnight. I wouldn't be surprised if a few locations such as Knox and Stonewall counties get down to freezing. If you have any sensitive plants, you may want to bring them in or protect them just in case. Our winds will be lightest just before sunrise tomorrow and that is when we typically have our coldest temperatures.
Cool temperatures will stick around tomorrow with highs in the low to mid 60s under mostly sunny skies. Winds are expected to be light out from the northeast for much of the day, but should shift southeast by late in the afternoon.
Above average temperatures should return Friday and hang around through Tuesday. Highs look to be in the low to mid 70s during that time period. There is a slight chance of rain Saturday night into Sunday with an upper level disturbance moving across the region.
Another cold front is expected to arrive late Tuesday into early Wednesday. This has the potential to bring us the coldest air of the fall season so far. The much colder temperatures could linger into Thanksgiving and the big shopping day next Friday. There is also a slight chance of rain on Wednesday. We will be keeping a close eye on this situation. Stay tuned for the latest forecasts.
Have a terrific Thursday!

Cold Air Arrives
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly..
The clouds held strong yesterday morning but as they broke temperatures climbed quickly back to the upper 70's to low 80's. Overnight we have stayed very mild with most of us sitting in the low 60's.
This morning we will start off with plenty of sunshine but a front to our north is rapidly moving south at 35 mph. This means it should begin to hit our Northern counties in the early morning making its way through Abilene between 10-11 am and be all the way pushed through by 1pm. This storm is packing wind gusts over 30 mph so as it passes by we will see windy conditions. Ahead of the front we should warm temperatures in the low 70's for our central and southern counties with our Northern counties only hitting the upper 60's. If you have not found that winter coat you may want to start searching today as temperatures tomorrow morning will drop. We should see temperatures in the upper 30's to low 40's.
Tomorrow will be a fall like afternoon as highs finally stay in the 60's across the board. Our average for this time of year is 66 so we will finally be at or even below seasonal norms.
As we start the weekend we will begin a gradual warm up with highs in the upper 60's Friday and into the weekend in the lower 70's. Lows will warm up to around 50. A slight chance of rain is still on the board for Friday evening thank to a weakening upper level low. If we see any rain in our area it will most likely be in our Eastern and Southern counties. This is where the most moisture is available.
Have a great day!

Tuesday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off today with mostly cloudy skies, but ended up with partly cloudy skies by this afternoon. Despite the abundance of cloud cover this morning, we still managed to reach the upper 70s to low 80s for highs.
A cold front is still expected to arrive tomorrow. Unfortunately, it will likely be another dry frontal passage. Windy conditions should be with us tomorrow with north-northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph. Highs look to be in the low to mid 70s.
Thursday will be the coolest day of the week. We should start off the morning with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. Highs in the afternoon look to reach the low to mid 60s. With windy conditions and low relative humidity values likely for Wednesday and Thursday, we have an elevated fire danger so please do not do any outdoor burning on those days.
We could see some rain on Friday thanks to an upper level disturbance. The chance of showers is only slight though due to a lack of moisture. It is the eastern portions of the viewing area that have the best shot at seeing precipitation. This is where enough moisture may have returned to the region for rain. Highs should be in the mid to upper 60s.
Saturday looks dry with highs in the mid 70s under partly cloudy skies.
A weak cold front is expected to move through the area on Sunday. This will likely be another dry frontal passage. Highs will be in the upper 60s to low 70s.
We should see highs return to the low to mid 70s on Monday before falling into the low to mid 60s next Tuesday. That is when another cold front is expected to move through the area. Rain does not look likely at this time with this front either.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

A weak cold front is expected to move through the area on Sunday. This will likely be another dry frontal passage. Highs will be in the upper 60s to low 70s.
We should see highs return to the low to mid 70s on Monday before falling into the low to mid 60s next Tuesday. That is when another cold front is expected to move through the area. Rain does not look likely at this time with this front either.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Tuesday Morning Forecast
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
A weak cold front moved through Abilene around 10 pm last night helping to switch our winds out of the north, this has brought in some cooler air overnight. Temperatures this morning are ranging from low 50's to 60's in our Southern counties where the front has not made its push.
Today we will see temperatures warm up quickly as we have drier air in place as the front helped to drop our dew points back to the 40's. With plenty of sunshine we should see temperatures in the upper 70's to low 80's. One factor in how warm we will get is when the winds switch from the northwest back to the southwest. The front sitting over us should eventually wash out and leave us with a fairly mild night with winds out of the southwest keeping lows in the upper 50's.
Tomorrow our next front will arrive. This front has a punch to it and should bring in significantly cooler air to the Big Country. The exact timing will depend on how cold we will get overnight but right now lows will drop to the upper 30's to low 40's. Ahead of the front Wednesday we should see highs reach the upper 70's with our Southern counties hitting the low 80's. With not enough moisture to support any rain this front will be a dry frontal passage.
After the front we will see temperatures stay steadily in the upper 60's to low 70's with lows warming up to the low 50's. There will be a slight chance of rain for Friday night into Saturday with the remnants of an upper level low, however rain chances not looking as promising as they once did.
For the weekend highs will be in the low 70's with lows around 50. Our next front will come by the end of the weekend.
Have a great day!

Monday Afternoon Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off the new work week with warm above-average temperatures. Our lows this morning were in the mid 50s to mid 60s with highs this afternoon in the upper 70s to low 80s. We should be having lows in the low 40s and highs in the mid 60s in the middle of November.
It looks like we will have cool, but above average temperatures tonight. Lows should be in the mid 50s to 60. Patchy fog is possible overnight into tomorrow morning so there will be some reduced visibilites. Be sure to give yourself some extra time for your travel to school and work.
The unseasonably warm conditions will continue tomorrow. In fact, we should be close to breaking the record high of 85 at Abilene Regional Airport. Highs for Tuesday look to be in the low 80s. It may be breezy at times with winds up to 15 mph from the southwest.
A cold front is expected to arrive and move through the area on Wednesday. The exact timing of this front will have an effect on our high temperatures. Right now, highs look to be in the mid 70s to low 80s.
Thursday should be the coolest day this week. We will start off with temperatures in the upper 30s in the morning, but only warm up into the low 60s by the afternoon.
An upper level low that is currently stalled around the Baja California region should move across Texas as a disturbance on Friday. This will give us a 20% chance of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms. Highs look to be in the upper 60s.
Saturday should be even warmer with highs in the mid 70s under partly cloudy skies. Another cold front is expected to arrive during the first half of the weekend. It looks to be a dry frontal passage for now.
Sunday and next Monday will likely be cooler with highs in the upper 60s.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Monday Update
Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
We say a few light showers overnight mainly from a line east of Haskell to Abilene to Ballinger. These showers continue to push off to the east. Behind it we have seen some cloud cover with the clearing beginning from west to east. Temperatures with the clouds have allowed us to stay very mild for this time of year with temperatures in the mid 60's. The coolest temperatures have been found to the west were we started to see clearing early in the overnight.
For today we could see a few morning light showers mainly in our farther eastern counties- Comanche, Eastland and Stephens. Otherwise we will be starting to see clearing with sunshine towards the afternoon. Highs will reach into the lower 80's upper 70's.
Tonight’s lows will be just around 60.
Tomorrow we will see one more warm one with temperatures hitting the low to mid 80's. Our front on Wednesday will finally knock temperatures back to more average like but will not bring any rain chances. Highs Wednesday through Weekend will be in the upper 60's to low 70's. The next front comes at the beginning of the weekend and there is a slight chance for a shower with this system.
Have a great day!

Sunday Evening Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz.....
Temperatures remained a little cooler today than expected as mostly cloudy conditions acted to hold down the temperatures a few degrees. Most locations in the Big Country saw afternoon high's in the 75- 80 degree range. A few isolated showers have also tried to develop in the western Big Country to the west of Roby and it is possible that a few showers could develop mainly to the west of Abilene through tonight.
For tomorrow, there will be a 20% chance of showers & t-storms for mainly the central and eastern Big Country. The best chance for rain will exist from Throckmorton to Eastland and down to Brownwood. Upper level energy from a nearby low pressure area in the upper levels of the atmosphere will continue to stream overhead and we have just enough moisture around to warrant a chance for isolated showers & t-storms.
A series of fronts will move through this week with the first cool down coming on Wednesday although we will still remain above average for this time of year. Another front will approach the area on Friday afternoon and we may have enough moisture for a few showers but for now, only a slight chance of rain is expected.
Have a great start to your work-week tomorrow!!!!

Unseasonably Warm This Weekend
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It has been a pleasant, but warm Friday here in the Big Country. We once again had well above average temperatures for this time of year. Highs were in the low 80s under sunny to mostly sunny skies.
Warm and windy conditions will be with us this Veteran's Day weekend. Highs look to be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Winds will be from the south-southwest at 10 to 30 mph. The strongest winds look to be on Sunday.
A cold front is expected to move through the area late Monday. This will bring cool temperatures to the area with highs in the low to mid 70s. Good moisture should be in place before the front, so there is a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms.
That same 30% chance of precipitation will contine into Tuesday. With mostly cloudy skies and cooler air in place, highs are expected to only reach the low to mid 60s.
Wednesday through next Friday look dry and cool with highs in the mid to upper 60s.
Have a super Saturday!

Friday Morning Update
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
We warmed up yesterday to the low 80's thanks to the sunshine and southerly winds. Overnight has been quiet with temperatures on your way out to work in the mid to upper 50's.
The unseasonably warm temperatures will continue through the weekend. We finally have some consistency this week as a ridge of high pressure sits over us. A few clouds will make there way in along with the winds kicking up with a system out to our west this weekend.
The next system to affect us will approach from the Pacific Northwest. A cold front is making its way on shore and will arrive in our area sometime the beginning of the week. Right now it looks like the coolest air will arrive Tuesday. Along with the front we will have an upper level low to help with the rain chances. The best timing for rain right now will be on Tuesday however I am keeping rain chances in through the Wednesday morning.
Temperatures will be in the low 80's this weekend dropping to the mid 60's by next Tuesday. Lows will go from the low 60's to upper 40's.
Have a great day!

Thursday Afternoon Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We had a warm and plesant day here in the Big Country today. Highs were mainly in the low to mid 80s, but a few locations were even warmer. Snyder made it to 90 this afternoon. These temperatures are well above average for this time of year. It was a bit breezy today with winds from the south-southwest.
Tomorrow should be another warm and beautiful day. Winds will be light from the south-southwest. Highs are expected to reach the upper 70s to low 80s. If you are going to be heading out to a football game tomorrow night, it will be a bit mild at kickoff with temperatures in the low to mid 70s. By the end of the game, temperatures should have cooled off into the low to mid 60s.
Warm conditions look to continue through this weekend. Saturday will be breezy, while Sunday, Veteran's Day, should be windy. Highs are expected to be in the low to mid 80s.
A cold front now looks to move through the area Monday afternoon. Our high temperatures will be very dependant on the exact timing of the front. It is a little too early to tell that right now, but highs should be in the mid to upper 70s. There is a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms with the front.
That same chance of rain will be with us again on Tuesday. With cooler air filtering into the area, highs should be in the upper 60s to low 70s under partly cloudy skies.
Wednesday and next Thursday look dry for now with highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Thursday Morning Forecast
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
Our warming trend began yesterday as our high temperature toped off at 70. This week has been a rollercoaster ride of temperatures from 90 Monday, 60 Tuesday, to 70 Yesterday. It looks like today we will hit right around 80.
With High pressure sliding off to the east, our winds will continue out of the south. This is bringing in warmer and moister air. In the upper levels a ridge is building over us and will stick around through the weekend. This means we will see plenty of sunshine, and gradually warming temperatures. Through the weekend we will see temperatures in the lower 80's with lows in the mid 50's. Our winds will begin to kick up with our next system approaching. This system along with a cold front will bring back our next chance of rain. We have not seen rain since the 22nd of October and could a fresh dose to help with the elevated fire danger. The best chance of rain comes Monday and continues into Tuesday. Along with the rain we will see temperatures cool back down to low 70's and upper 60's.
Have a great day!

Wednesday Afternoon Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It was a pleasant and pretty typical fall day here in the Big Country today. We started off a bit chilly with temperatures in the mid 40s to 50. By this afternoon, we had warmed up to the low 70s thanks in part to southerly winds. These temperatures are a little above average for this time of year.
We will have warm temperatures to end the work week as highs should be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Skies look to be mostly sunny. If you are wondering about weather conditions for football games Friday night, it will be another beautiful night with temperatures cooling down from the 70s around kickoff to the 60s by the end of the 4th quarter.
Warm and windy conditions are expected for Saturday and Sunday. Highs look to be in the low to mid 80s under mostly sunny skies.
A cold front should move through the area on Monday. This will cool our high temperatures down to the upper 60s and low 70s for the start of next week. There is a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms with this front.
We may see a few lingering showers on Tuesday so there is a slight chance of rain. Highs should be in the mid to upper 60s.
Have a terrific Thursday!

Wednesday AM Forecast
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
The cloud cover held strong yesterday keeping our high 30 degrees cooler than Monday. Overnight temperatures have dropped but not as significantly because of the clouds acting as a dome keeping us a little warmer. Temperatures this morning are mainly staying in the upper 40's to low 50's. It will still be a little chilly as you head out the door so grab that jacket!
For today the clouds will finally begin to break through the morning and we should see more sunshine than yesterday which will allow our temperatures to rise into the mid to upper 60's. The areas that see the most sunshine will be warmer but where the clouds can hold strong we will see tad cooler temperatures. As high pressure continues to slide east the winds are already switching back to the southeast and eventually more south/southwest, this will help to bring in some warmer air. Overnight lows will hit in the lower 50's.
The warm up continues over the next several days and highs get into the lower 80's by the weekend. An upper level low will push near us during the weekend which will kick up the winds and help to move out next front through by beginning of the work week. This next front may bring with it some showers however the chance right now is only at slight.
Enjoy the rollercoaster ride of temperatures!

Tuesday Evening Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday we had record heat. Today it was 30 degrees cooler with highs in the mid 50s to low 60s.
We look to have a cold night with lows in the mid to upper 30s. It is possible to see some patchy frost tonight so you will want to bring in your sensitive outdoor plants. Also, bring in your pets since it will be cold.
A warming trend begins tomorrow and continues through the end of the week. Highs look to range from the upper 60s tomorrow to the low 80s this weekend. Windy conditions are likely Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
A cold front is expected to move through the area late Sunday night into Monday. This will bring our temperatures back down for the beginning of next week. Highs should be in the mid to upper 60s. There is a slight chance for rain with this cold front which is good since it has been about two weeks since we had measurable rain at Abilene Regional Airport.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Tuesday Starting off Cool!
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
From short sleeves to sweaters, that will be the story over the last 24 hours. We set a record high yesterday hitting 90 degrees. Then the Canadian cold front came through and changed everything, brining drier and much cooler air to the Big Country. Temperatures are starting off 15- 20 degrees cooler with most of us mainly in the 40's. Factor in the winds and it will certainly feel cooler as you open the door. If you are heading out early to the polls make sure you grab the jacket.
Remember that record we set yesterday? Well it will only be a memory by this afternoon as highs will be considerably cooler only topping off in the upper 50's to low 60's. We should see the clouds that have been hanging around begin to diminish and the sun peaking through by the afternoon. Our winds will stay out of the Northeast helping to keep the cooler air trickling in. Tonight we could see the coldest temperatures of our fall season if we can drop below the 39 we hit on October 28th. One thing will be for sure, it will be very chilly when you head out to work on Wednesday Morning so bring out the jackets and maybe even the gloves for the kiddos as they head to school.
The rest of the week the high pressure that will keep us cool today will slide off to the east helping to switch the winds to the southeast helping us to gradually warm up. Tomorrows highs will stay in the mid 60's increasing to the mid to upper 70's through the holiday weekend. Overnight lows will warm back up to the low 50's.

Hot Today, Colder Tomorrow
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We had record heat in the Big Country today. The high at Abilene Regional Airport this afternoon was 90. That beats the previous record of 86 set back in 2005 and 1989. A pre-frontal trough and cold front are moving through the area right now. No rain is expected though. We just don't have enough moisture to support precipitaiton.
Tomorrow will be much cooler than today. Highs should only reach the mid to upper 50s. That is about 25 to 35 degrees cooler than what we experienced in the area today. Temperatures tomorrow night look to be the coldest of the week. Lows look to be in the mid to upper 30s. Patchy frost is possible across the region so you should make preparations now for your pets and sensitive outdoor plants.
We start a warming trend on Wednesday that will last through the weekend. Highs are expected to range from the mid 60s for the middle of the week to the low 80s by Sunday. It will be dry under mostly sunny skies during this time period.
Another cold front should arrive late Sunday night into early next Monday. This will cause our temperatures to dip once again. Highs look to be in the mid 60s for the start of next week. Unfortunately, we will not see any rain with this front either.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

A pre-frontal trough and cold front are moving through the area right now. No rain is expected though. We just don't have enough moisture to support precipitaiton.
Tomorrow will be much cooler than today. Highs should only reach the mid to upper 50s. That is about 25 to 35 degrees cooler than what we experienced in the area today. Temperatures tomorrow night look to be the coldest of the week. Lows look to be in the mid to upper 30s. Patchy frost is possible across the region so you should make preparations now for your pets and sensitive outdoor plants.
We start a warming trend on Wednesday that will last through the weekend. Highs are expected to range from the mid 60s for the middle of the week to the low 80s by Sunday. It will be dry under mostly sunny skies during this time period.
Another cold front should arrive late Sunday night into early next Monday. This will cause our temperatures to dip once again. Highs look to be in the mid 60s for the start of next week. Unfortunately, we will not see any rain with this front either.
Have a terrific Tuesday!
Monday Update
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
We saw a warm day yesterday with temperatures reaching the lower 80's, almost a ten degree warm up from Saturday.
Monday morning is starting off with warm temperatures in the upper 50's to low 60's thanks to the winds kicking up out of the south/southwest with gusts up to 25 mph. We will again see another warm one on store as temperature rise to the low to mid 80's. This afternoon our next front will arrive and ahead of it we will see the warm up but behind it much cooler temperatures arrive. Our winds will switch to the north and should stay strong through the overnight as lows drop to the low 40's.
Tomorrow we will bring back the fall like afternoon with highs only getting into the upper 50's to low 60's. This will be the coldest temperatures we have seen this season if we stay below the 61 we saw on October 22nd. Tuesday night temperatures will drop to the upper 30's and be very chilly Wednesday morning as you head out to work. If you put the gloves back in the drawer you may not to get them out again.
The rest of the week we will gradually warm up with highs back in the mid 70's by Thursday and lows around 50.
Have a great day!

Sunday Evening Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz.....
Warm temperatures today will make way for even warmer conditions tomorrow afternoon. However, tomorrow will mark the last day of the warming trend that has been in place over the area for much of last week as a cold front will bring much cooler weather into the Big Country for the beginning of the work week.
The forecast gets a little tricky after the front comes in late Monday night and into Tuesday morning. Temperatures overnight should remain in the lower 40's for Monday night but Tuesday night it is possible that temperatures could dip into the 30's. It will come down to how much cloud cover develops overhead on Tuesday night: if we see mostly cloudy skies, then temperatures will remain around 40; but, if we see clear skies then temperatures could plummet almost to the freezing mark in some low-lying areas. Stay tuned for future updates, as the colder air mass could pose a danger to outdoor pets and vegetation on Tuesday night.
Unfortunately, their will be little chance for rain with the front although it may be possible for some isolated showers to develop in the southeastern Big Country in the vicinity of Brownwood.
Temperatures will rebound during the middle and latter part of this week and we will remain sunny and dry throughout the rest of the seven day forecast.
Have a great day!!!

Saturday Evening Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz.....
Somewhat cooler conditions prevailed today in wake of a weak cold front that moved through the area yesterday. Temperatures will be quick to rebound however, as highs tomorrow are expected to be in the upper 70's to near 80. Overnight lows will remain a few degrees above normal over the next couple of days as southerly winds continue to allow more moisture to stream northward.
The warmer weather will be short lived as another cold front will bring temperatures back into the lower 60's for mid-week.
After the front passes through on Tuesday, a slight chance of showers will be inserted into the forecast as moist air will begin to move over the cooler air at the surface.
For late week, temperatures will rebound a little as we head into the weekend with sunny and dry conditions continuing into Saturday and Sunday.
Have a great weekend!!

Friday Afternoon Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We have had a pleasant Friday here in the Big Country with highs in the mid to upper 70s under mostly skies. It will be a great night for football across the entire area as temperatures cool down into the mid to upper 60s by kickoff.
A cold front looks to arrive overnight tonight. This will bring us much cooler temperatures for Saturday. Highs should be in the mid to upper 60s under mostly to partly cloudy skies. There is a slight chance, and I stress the word slight, that we could see some showers tomorrow. It will not be a complete washout tomorrow so if you have any outdoor activities, you will likely be fine.
We warm right back up on Sunday and Monday as highs should reach the upper 70s to low 80s.
Another cold front is expected to arrive Monday night into early Tuesday. This will cool our temperatures down dramatically for Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs should be in the low to mid 60s. There is a slight chance for rain with the front Monday night and Tuesday.
Thursday and next Friday are looking dry with highs in the low to mid 70s.
Have a super Saturday!

Friday Starting of Chilly
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
With one cold front moving through Wednesday temperatures stayed 11 degrees cooler then the day before, Halloween we made it up to 75 where as we kicked off November only hitting 64 degrees. Overnight we have cooled down with lows in the 40's and wind chills in the 30’s. It is a morning for the jacket and a warm breakfast. Although it may be a cool start to the weekend by the afternoon the highs will return to the low 70's. If you are heading out to the football games you may want to keep the blanket on hand as temperatures by the end of the game may dip into the low to mid 50's.
Tonight into early tomorrow a weak front should move through the area. This front will basically wash out over us and only bring with it a few degree drop in temperatures for Saturday. Behind the front High pressure will slide south. By Sunday it should be to the located in Southeast Texas which will mean southerly and southwesterly winds for us helping to warm temperatures into the upper 70's.
Don't get to use to the warmth! Monday we should stick in the mid 70's with lots of sunshine but into Tuesday the coldest air of the season arrives with our next front. We will see highs drop to the lower 60's with lows dipping into the 30's. There is the possibility of a freeze event, so we will keep an eye on the cool air filtering in.
Have a great first weekend of November!

Hello November
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We got off to a cool start for the start of November today. Thanks to the cold front that moved through the area yesterday and light northerly winds all day, most of us only managed to make it into the low to mid 60s for highs. A few locations in the Big Country, such as Brownwood, made it to 70.
It looks like a pleasant end to the work week with warmer temperatures returning to the region. Highs should be in the low to mid 70s. It will be another great night for football tomorrow night. If you are heading out to the big Crosstown Showdown between Abilene High and Cooper High, you might want to take a jacket or wear some long sleeves as temperatures will cool down from the 60s at kickoff to the 50s by the end of the game.
A weak cold front is expected to move through the Big Country by early Saturday morning. This means it will be slightly cooler for the first half of the weekend. Highs should be in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Mostly sunny skies and above average temperatures will be with us Sunday and Monday. Highs will likely be in the mid 70s to low 80s.
Another stronger cold front looks to arrive Monday night. Unfortunately, this will also likely be a dry frontal passage. Highs for Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be in the low to mid 60s.
Have a fantastic Friday!

Thursday Morning Update
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly ...
We had perfect weather yesterday for our monsters and princesses. A cold front made its way through the area helping to keep highs only in the mid 70's. With cool air surging into the Big Country overnight lows have dropped into the 40's.
This morning some clouds are blanketing the sky but should break up through the early hours and by the afternoon just be left with a few clouds. Highs will stay cooler only reaching the mid 60's, a ten degree drop from yesterday. Again tonight our lows will drop reaching the coolest temperatures we have seen since Sunday.
The weekend will start off perfect with plenty of sunshine and temperatures back into the low 70's. High pressure will be dominating through the next several days with Highs gradually warming a few degrees each day until another change comes by the beginning of the work week. Our next front arrives Monday knocking temperatures again to the low 60's and will stay there through mid week. Lows will stay in the lower 40's.
Have a great day!
