A Mini-Roller Coaster Ride Ahead

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was much cooler around the area today thanks to a cold front that moved through this morning. Highs were mainly in the mid to upper 50s. Unfortunately we didn't see any rain with the front. Our rainfall deficit for 2008 is already over a quarter of an inch at Abilene Regional Airport. It is not out of the ordinary for us to be dry in January as it is our driest month on average for precipitation.

Tomorrow should be warmer and breezy with highs in the low to mid 60s under partly cloudy skies.

A cold front looks to move through the area Thursday morning bringing slightly cooler temperatures for us. Highs will be in the upper 50s to low 60s. With moisture being limited, this is likely going to be another dry frontal passage.

We warm up a bit on Friday with highs in the low to mid 60s under mostly sunny skies.

Another cold front is expected to move through the region Saturday morning. There is a slight chance of rain with this front. We will only see the rain though if we get enough moisture built back into the Big Country before its arrival. Highs should be in the low to mid 50s.

Sunday looks dry with highs in the low 50s under partly cloudy skies.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
