The Cold Air Has Arrived

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a chilly start to the day with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s this morning. We were able to warm up into the upper 40s to low 60s this afternoon. The reason for the differences in high temperatures was due to the arrival of a cold front. It moved through Snyder around lunchtime and was making it way into the southeastern portion of the viewing area late this afternoon.

We will have cold temperatures to start off tomorrow with morning lows in the low to mid 20s. Remember to protect your pets, plants and pipes tonight. You will need to bundle up anytime you are outside tomorrow as highs should only be in the upper 30s to low 40s. There is a slight chance of seeing a few snow flurries tonight and tomorrow, but it won't be anything significant.

Friday and the weekend are looking are dry right now with highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies.

Another cold front should move through the area late Monday. This will bring cooler temperatures to the Big Country for Tuesday and next Wednesday. It looks like we will have enough moisture back in the area for us to have some chances for rain. Right now that chance is 20% on Monday and Tuesday and slight for next Wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed that this rain pans out for us because we could really use it right now. We have only seen 0.01" of precipitation so far at Abilene Regional Airport.

Have a terrific Thursday!
