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!
