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!
