Good Friday from KRBC meteorologist Stephanie Malone...
We've been seeing seasonably warm temperatures lately, and it looks as if that is not going to change this weekend. Tonight will be great weather for the trick-or-treaters, with temperatures in the low 70's to upper 60's just after sunset.
Tonight we will only get down to 54 degrees with clear skies and a light wind from the south. Then Saturday through Tuesday we will have highs in upper 70's to lower 80's with lows in the upper 50's to lower 60's.
Wednesday a dry line drags through the area bringing us a high in the 70's and gusty winds, and finally a cool off into the upper 60's next Thursday and Friday.
From the KRBC weather lab, everyone have a great weekend!

Same Story, Second Verse
From the KRBC Weather Lab and Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
We usually don't joke about the weather, but the forecast lately is almost like telling a joke and you say "stop me if you've heard this before."
High pressure will continue to dominate our weather through the weekend. Storms systems stay well to our north resulting in the same type weather we've been having. A little more low-level moisture should result in some morning clouds, which is a change, but those should be short lived giving way to sunny afternoons.
It will be breezy at times, especially during the day, and stronger early next week. We may see a cool down by the middle of next week.
Thursday Night: Clear and mild, 56. South and southwest wind 10 to 15.
Friday: A few morning clouds, otherwise mostly sunny and 80. Southwest wind 10 to 20 and breezy.
Friday Night: Clear - in the 60's for football and trick or treating, upper 50's by early Saturday morning.
Saturday and Sunday: Mostly sunny, highs in the upper 70's.

More Pleasant Fall Weather:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Special thanks to my collegue Stephanie Malone for working in my place the last few days while I spent a few days back in North Alabama enjoying the fall leaves and very cold mornings in the 20s!
* Big Country Weather Story: Calm and quiet weather continues with a rather mild morning with lows generally into the 50s across the area, much warmer that the 30s for lows earlier in the week! Look for a nice day today with highs approaching 80 with a south wind about 10-15. Tonight will be another mild night with lows in the middle 50s with mostly clear conditions.
* Extended Periods: Weather looks quiet as the long range forecast model (in this case the GFS) keeps the high pressure ridge sitting to the west the rest of the week and into the weekend with temperatures nice and pleasant. I am going for highs in the middle to upper 70s in my forecast package with lows in the middle 50s. The pattern for the next 7 days will remain dry. A very weak front will wash out to our north over the early part of the weekend with perhaps a stronger front working in here toward the middle of next week.
* Halloween: Weather looks nice with temperatures in the lower 70s around sundown and a partly cloudy sky...and maybe a few ghosts too!???!
* Time Change: Don't forecast to "Fall Back" Saturday Night/Sunday Morning as Daylight Saving Time will end at 2:00 AM CDT on Sunday morning... so when it's 2:00 AM, it's actually going to be 1:00 AM CST. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep Sunday morning...just don't be late for church!

Freeze Warning in Effect
From the KRBC Weather Lab and Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner .....
A Freeze Warning is in effect early Tuesday morning for the KRBC viewing area. High pressure will be sitting right over the top of us, meaning the coldest air behind the recent cold front will be over our area, possibly as cold as the upper 20's to low 30's for a few hours. This means tender plants will easily be damaged tonight so plan accordingly. But, just as rapidly as the dry air gets cold, it will warm up to the upper 60's on Tuesday.
For the rest of the week, a warming trend and dry weather is expected. I don't have any rain in the forecast for the next seven days.
Monday Night: FREEZE WARNING in effect. Clear, calm wind, 28-32.
Tuesday: Sunny, high near 68. Southeast wind 5 to 10.
Tuesday Night: Clear and cool, low 43.
Wednesday through Friday: Sunny, highs 75-77, lows 52-55.
Saturday and Sunday: Partly cloudy, highs 75, lows 52-55.

Cold Temperatures ... But Not For Long...
Good morning from KRBC meteorologist Stephanie Malone...
A chilly start this morning with cold temperatures filtering in behind the cold front that passed through last night. Today we will only get up to 63 for our high with northeasterly winds at 5 to 10 miles per hour.
Tonight will be very cold, getting down to 38 degrees, and a light frost possible. The winds switch from the south tonight, so we will warm up tomorrow, getting up to 72.
Expect upper 70's Wednesday through Halloween, and then highs drop down into the lower 70's for next weekend. Clear skies will prevail through the entire seven day forecast.

Nice Weekend Weather Ahead ...
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ..
The trend of cool mornings and warm afternoons can be expected through Sunday before another strong cold front returns us to cold mornings and cool afternoons.
There is actually going to be a weak front in the area Friday. Using I-20 as our line of reference, counties north of Abilene will tend to be a few degrees cooler Friday, counties south of Abilene warmer. The front should pass farther south Friday night into the southern counties but it's not that big of a deal.
Friday night football weather looks great - Kickoff temperature in the low 60's, end of game temperature low 50's so carry a jacket or hooded sweat, preferably in your school colors, shamelessly promoting your favorite team on the planet.
For the weekend - Great weather, sunny afternoons, mid 70's, how can we continue to be so lucky with great weekend weather.
I don't foresee any rain over the next seven days.
Sunday night, a strong cold front arrives, dropping highs back to near 60 to begin Monday.
Thursday Night: Clear and cold, near 37. South wind 5 to 10, light northerly at times.
Friday: Sunny and 68. South wind, at times northerly, depending on which side of the front you are on.
Friday Night: Clear and 40.
Saturday: Sunny and 75.
Sunday: Sunny and 75.

Cold Air Tonight / Cool Thursday
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
Grab some extra blankets, throw another log on the fire and enjoy some hot chocolate - temperatures tonight are going to end up in the mid to upper 30's around the KRBC viewing area.
The strong cold front arrived on time Wednesday morning along with gusty north wind. With clearing taking place tonight, and winds slowly diminishing, it should set us up for some chilly numbers from 35-39 by Thursday morning. I wouldn't be surprised to see some light frost over the area.
A dry weather trend will continue through the upcoming weekend and temperatures will warm a little more each day. The next cold front is due late Sunday but probably not as strong as the last one.
Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy to mostly clear with a low of 36. Northwest and north wind subsides to 5 to 10 by late night.
Thursday: Mostly sunny with a high of 64. Northwest wind 10 to 15 turning southwest later in the day.
Thursday Night: Clear, another chilly night, low 39.
Friday: Mostly sunny and 70.
Saturday: Sunny, 74.
Sunday: Another cold front, mostly sunny to partly cloudy, high 70.

I'm Going to Enjoy the Weekend Weather
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
The nights will be cool, the days will be warm through the early part of next week. As high pressure rules our weather, make it a point to get out and enjoy!
It looks like a cold front will enter our area the middle of next week, probably Wednesday, making for a cooler scenario. While the front may bring light mist or drizzle, the rain chance looks to stay east.
Friday Night: Clear and cool, low of 47. North wind at 5.
Saturday: Sunny and 75. Northeast wind 5 to 10.
Saturday Night: Clear and 51.
Sunday: Sunny and 79.
Sunday Night: Clear and 57.
Monday: Sunny and 79.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy and 76.
Wednesday: Partly cloudy and 65.

Keepin' it Cool
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
Hope you like cool morning air and mild afternoon's because that is what we have in store for the next several days. The rain has ended for our area and dry weather can be expected through early next week.
The gradual trend to clear conditions by Thursday will lead to chilly morning temperatures but the same dry air will allow for very pleasant afternoon temperatures.
Looking down the road, I'm putting rain back in the forecast for next Tuesday night and Wednesday as another cold front looks possible.
Wednesday Night: Considerable cloudiness, low near 48. North wind 5 to 10.
Thursday: Partly cloudy, 66. Northeast wind 5 to 15.
Thursday Night: Clear and cool, 45-48.
Friday: Sunny, 72-75. Friday night 47-51.
Saturday and Sunday: Sunny, great weather, highs 74-78, lows 51-56.
Monday: Partly cloudy, highs 72-76.
Tuesday: Mostly cloudy, highs 71-75.
Wednesday: Chance for rain, cloudy, 65-69.

Cloudy with occasional showers will be the main forecast factors today and cooler air arriving later tonight. Highs today will only be in the 60s and lows tonight in the upper 40s/lower 50s. A little warmer tomorrow with highs getting back close to 70 as we begin to dry out.
* Extended Periods: a gradual warming and drying trend will set up by the end of the week across West Central Texas as high pressure builds back in across the area. Next cold front should arrive early next week across the area bringing another rain chance.

If At First You Don't Succeed ....
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
A pesky cold front, which brought almost 2 inches of rain to Abilene Monday night, retreated northwest during the day Tuesday, taking the rain with it, temporarily. But, as our headline says, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again". So, tonight (Tues. night) the front will move into and hopefully through the area. It should kick off a few showers and isolated t-storms on the way through so rain lingers in the area through Wednesday. After that, it's dry through the weekend.
Temperatures will be sharply cooler Wednesday and Wednesday night, slow warming through the rest of the week.
Tuesday Night: Mostly cloudy, 30% chance for showers, low of 53. North wind 5 to 10.
Wednesday: Mostly cloudy, 20% chance for showers, much cooler, high 62. North wind 5 to 15.
Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy to clear, low of 48.
Thursday: Partly cloudy, high of 68. North wind.
Friday through Sunday: Sunny, lows low 50's, highs mid 70's.

Cold Front vs. Forecast:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* The cold front is stalled over the Big Country this morning and is going to be the main factor in forecasting temperatures for the area. At 5:00 AM we have 50s in Abilene and to the west, while Brownwood and Breckenridge on the other side of the stalled front sit near 70. Model data is going for 70s ahead of the front today with 60s behind the front which stretches from about San Angelo to Clyde to Albany this morning. There is still a good chance for rain across the area today and tonight. Abilene picked p nearly two inches with the heavy rain just before midnight.
* Extended Periods: a gradual warming and drying trend will set up by the end of the week across West Central Texas as high pressure builds back in across the area.

Pack the Umbrella...
Good evening from KRBC meteorologist Stephanie Malone...
We'll have mostly cloudy skies tonight, but chances for rain kick in tomorrow. Starting tomorrow there will be a 30% chance for rain mainly in our western counties. The wind will still be strong from the south at 10-15 miles per hour gusting to 20.
Then Tuesday through Thursday a cold front will push through the Big Country giving us a chance for rain through Thursday. The front will also bring cooler temperatures into the area with highs in the 70's through the rest of the 7 day forecast.
We'll have high pressure settle in next Friday, giving us mostly clear skies for next weekend.
Have a great week!

Slow Changes for Our Weather Pattern
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
I begin with the chance for rain. It's in the forecast for this weekend, but it doesn't appear to be a big deal here in our immediate area. If you are planning a trip farther into West Texas, say Big Spring, the Big Bend, Midland/Odessa, Lubbock - then you need to expect heavy rain in those areas this weekend.
The remnants of Pacific Hurricane Norbert are expected to track from the Big Bend toward Lubbock over the weekend into early next week. We will stay on the eastern edge of the moisture, but close enough for a few weekend showers beginning late Saturday.
The next change is a low pressure area from the northwest which will cross the Rockies, into the northern Plains this weekend and eventually push a cold front into our area late Monday or Monday night. It is at that time when we have our best chance for rain, Monday night and Tuesday.
Temperatures will be mild this weekend but cooler early next week.
Thursday Night: Mostly clear with high cirrus clouds increasing from the southwest. Low near 60. South wind 5 to 10.
Friday: High clouds stream in from the southwest, turning partly cloudy during the day, high near 84. Southeast wind 10 to 20 and gusty at times.
Friday Night: Turning mostly cloudy, low of 64 with breezy conditions.
Saturday and Sunday: Mostly cloudy, 20% chance for rain both days, highs around 80 both days, lows upper 60's. Windy.
Monday: Cold front late day, high near 80, 30% chance for rain.
Monday Night: Cold front arrives, low 53, good chance for rain.
Tuesday: Cloudy and cool, good chance for rain, high 62.

Still nice weather ahead with highs in the 80s and lows at night into the upper 50s and lower 60s. Rain chances return for Modnday through Wednesday with the next front. Also much cooler weather is anticpated for next week.

Great Weather for a Few Days
From the KRBC Weather Lab ...
I want to call your attention to some new video opportunities within our bigcountryhomepage.com website. You can watch our weathercasts and a Fast Cast update by clicking on the weather link and choosing KRBC. It's a quick way to stay up-to-date on weather.
Well, not much going on through Friday. The next pattern change brings a slight chance for storms this weekend, then a cold front Monday or Monday night giving us the best chance for rain Monday night and Tuesday.
This is a little later than previously forecast yesterday due to a slower evolution of the pattern change. But, the bottom line is nice weather through Friday, windy weather this weekend in response to a developing low pressure system, slight chance for rain this weekend, better chance for rain early next week. Temperatures are also expected to cool to begin next week.
Tuesday Night: Clear and cool, 48-52 around the area. Light south wind.
Wednesday: Sunny and 83. South and southwest wind 5 to 15.

Breezy & Cooler Today:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* A cold front moved through overnight across the area shifting our winds to the northwest and cooling us down today as highs will only be in the middle 70s with breezy conditions. A chilly night ahead with upper 40s common across the Big Country, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley by daybreak Wednesday morning.
* Looking Ahead: Longer ranger models have pushed the next cold front passing into our area around the first of next week so temperatures will be warmer over the weekend then previously thought. Still nice weather ahead with highs in the 80s and lows at night into the upper 50s and lower 60s. Rain chances return for Sunday and Monday with the next front but for right now only a isolated chance for precipitation.

Nice Fall Weather Through Friday
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
The rainfall totals being reported from our KRBC viewers pretty consistently show 1.50 inches of rain over much of the Big Country. In Abilene, 1.18 at the airport. Any way you look at it, we needed the rain and most got it.
Next on tap, dry weather through Friday with temperatures near normal for this time of year. Morning lows may even tap into the upper 40's Wednesday morning.
There is much uncertainty as it pertains to this weekends forecast. First things first, I think we'll see rain in our viewing area Saturday and Sunday. The bigger question is temperatures. Forecast model solutions differ widely, one bringing much colder air our way Saturday. Check back to this blog daily for updates and changes.
Monday Night: Clearing, cool, near 55. Northwest wind 10 to 15.
Tuesday: Sunny and nice, high 78. North wind 10 to 15.
Tuesday Night: Clear and cool, 49. Light wind.
Wednesday and Thursday: Sunny with highs around 82, lows 57-60.
Friday: Partly cloudy and warm, 85.
Saturday and Sunday: Mostly cloudy, chance for rain, temperatures cooler. Stay tuned.

Drying Out Today:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Welcoming rains fell over nearly all of the Big Country, Heartland and Concho Valley overnight as a line of strong thunderstorms moved across the area. Other than a few areas of gusty winds there was no severe weather reported across the area with these storms. There were also no reports of storm related damage or issues other than a few slick spots and ponding water on some area roadways.
* According to the National Weather Service observation data 1.21" of rain was recorded at Abilene Regional Airport since the rain started late Sunday. This is the first heavy rain event the area has seen since early September. The rain event brings our yearly surplus of precipitation to over three inches and about a half an inch of rain above normal for the month of October.
* The cold front will move through later today and their could be an isolated shower or storm along the front but it looks as if most of the rain is done until our next system which is due over the weekend. Winds will turn northerly and northwesterly later tonight and it will be cool with lower to middle 50s. Highs tomorrow will be in the lower 70s. Down the road the forecast will warm back into the middle 80s with partly cloudy conditions.
* Weekend System: The long range forecast models are having a field day with the system this weekend that will affect the area. One forecast model is keeping our forecast highs in the 80s while another is going with 50s. One solution is also bring in 30s and possible winter precipitation late Saturday night. Point here is anything past three days in my book is out in "voodoo land," as my mentor and fellow meteorologist in Birmingham always says about long ranger forecast models. It will be something interesting to watch as we progress into the week.

STORMY WEATHER SUNDAY NIGHT / MONDAY
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
A strong storm system will mean shower and thunderstorms for the KRBC viewing area Sunday night and Monday morning. You can expect severe weather potential with some storms capable of producing large hail, damaging wind and even isolated tornadoes. The setup is very similar to what we see in the spring so we'll continue monitoring this situation closely. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch was issued for the western Big Country early Sunday afternoon.
The upper low takes the stormy weather east of our area by Monday afternoon followed by some pleasant weather and cool temperatures through Thursday.
Another system from the southwest should tap into some cool air from the north to give us another chance for rain Friday and Saturday. The strongest front we have seen this Fall is expected to arrive this Saturday.
Sunday Night: Thunderstorms likely, some severe with heavy rain. Low near 63. Southeast wind 10 to 20.
Monday: Showers and storms more likely in the morning, decreasing in the afternoon. High of 80. Southwest then northwest wind 10 to 15.
Monday Night: Clearing with lows in the mid to upper 50's. North wind 10.
Tuesday: Sunny and 78.

Rain Is In Sight...
Happy Friday to everyone from KRBC meteorologist Stephanie Malone...
We have been seeing warmer than normal weather for October, with highs in the 90's, and that will continue through Saturday.
Tonight we'll have partly cloudy skies, a low in 65, but the top story here is the breezy weather. We'll have southerly winds at 10-20 miles per hour. Tomorrow the winds and warm temperatures will continue with a high of 91 and southerly winds of 15-20 miles per hour gusting up to 25 miles per hour.
But... change is on the way. An area of low pressure from the Pacific Northwest will make it's way into the Big Country, dragging along with it a cold front. We will have a chance for rain Sunday night through Tuesday morning. Our highs will also drop down in the low 80's to upper 70's with lows in the mid-upper 50's.

The Heat is On ... For Just a Couple Days
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
Sure the calendar says Fall, but nature says Summer for the next couple of days. With the help of some southwest wind on Friday, expect temperatures to climb to just above 90 degrees which is about 10 degrees above normal for this time of year. I don't think it will get quite that hot on Saturday due to a little more wind mixing up the atmosphere and a little more moisture in the air. It's still going to be very warm on Saturday for the many events going on around the Big Country.
The wind will increase Friday night but especially Saturday and Sunday, in response to developing low pressure in the Rockies and Central Plains. Upper level energy coming around the bottom of the low may cause a storm or two Sunday night with with persistent upper level energy close by, we'll see a slight chance for storms each day Monday through Wednesday.
If forecast models verify, the end of next week may trend to slightly cooler and wetter, but too early to tell at this point.
Thursday Night: Clear and 61. South wind 5 to 10.
Friday: Mostly sunny and hot, high 91. Southwest and south wind 10 to 15.
Friday Night: Great football weather, mostly clear, low 64. Temps in the 80's at kickoff, falling into the 70's during the game.
Saturday: Windy, mostly sunny, high 88, south wind 10 to 20.
Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, mild, low 65.
Sunday: Partly cloudy, windy, 20% chance for storms, high middle 80's.
Monday through Wednesday: Considerable cloudiness, highs from 79-83, lows from 60-63, 20 % chance for thunderstorms each day.

Nice & Warm Today:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorolgist Chris Whited...
* Quiet weather again today across the area is anticipated as high pressure continues to dominate the forecast. It will be a be warmer today across the area thanks to a little stronger winds and especially the next few days into the weekend when low 90s will be a common factor. In fact some areas will be about 10° above normal over the weekend.
* Long range forecast models are showing some consistancy in bringing rain chances back to West Texas by the first and middle of next week. In addition to the rain chances, cooler weather will also return with highs back in the lower 80s.

* Quiet weather again today across the area is anticipated as high pressure continues to dominate the forecast. It will be a be warmer today across the area thanks to a little stronger winds and especially the next few days into the weekend when low 90s will be a common factor. In fact some areas will be about 10° above normal over the weekend.
* Long range forecast models are showing some consistancy in bringing rain chances back to West Texas by the first and middle of next week. In addition to the rain chances, cooler weather will also return with highs back in the lower 80s.

It's Getting Warmer !!
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ..
Summer warmth just doesn't want to go away. And the wind we haven't had to deal with lately returns this weekend.
Spinning off the coasts of Oregon and northern California is a very large low pressure area, pretty common to see them out there this time of year. This one is forecast to cross the Rocky Mountains and gather steam over the weekend.
What it means for our weather is gusty wind this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, and by Monday, just a slight chance for thunderstorms. We are actually going to be on the southern edge of the system but it should have enough upper level wind power to create at least a few scattered storms around our area Monday and Tuesday. I'm leaving the rain chance at 10% Monday and 20% Tuesday into Wednesday. Until Monday, dry weather stays in the forecast along with warm afternoons.
Wednesday Night: Clear and 56. East wind at 5.
Thursday: Sunny and 86. Southeast wind 5 to 10.
Thursday Night: Clear and 61.
Friday: Partly cloudy and 89.
Saturday: Partly cloudy, windy and 90.
Sunday: Partly cloudy, windy and 87.
Monday: Partly cloudy, 10% chance for thunderstorms, high of 83.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy, 20% chance for thunderstorms, high of 83.
