Much Cooler Tuesday

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ..

Abilene tied a record high temperature Monday by reaching 85 degrees, the same number we hit in 1890.

Don't expect 85 again Tuesday, far from it. More like 55 will do it as a cold front blows in and drops temperatures. From midnight to noon Tuesday, a few thunderstorms or showers are possible mainly across the eastern Big Country. The storm system is a strong one so expect the wind to become gusty during the day Tuesday.

The high fire danger continues until further notice.

Tuesday night, expect below freezing temperatures.

A slight warming trend starts Wednesday and continues through the end of the week.
