Monday Afternoon Update

From Meteorologist Nathan Motz....

We will start of the new year with very, very cold temperatures overnight. Some locations in the western and northern Big Country will see temperatures dip into the upper teens. Here in Abilene, temperatures will likely remain in the lower 20's.

Tomorrow, afternoon high temperatures will be cooler as well with readings only in the mid to upper 40's. After tomorrow, however, we begin to warm up considerably and by the end of the week, highs will be pushing 70 degrees.

2008 will also begin just as we ended 2007 in terms of precipitation: very dry. The first real shot at precipitation will not come until sometime early next week which is just beyond our forecast period. Until then, mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures will dominate the forecast through the end of this week.

Have a Happy New Year!!!!
