Three Cold Fronts This Week

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner .....

Thanks for checking out the KRBC weather blog. I'm tracking three cold fronts, the first of which arrives late Monday afternoon or early evening here in Abilene, without rain, of course.

The second front, the strongest of the three, arrives Wednesday night and is actually a glancing blow of some very frigid Arctic air which will grip much of the nation east of the Mississippi River late this week. No moisture is expected with this front either.

The third front, not a very strong one, arrives Saturday afternoon or night, again, without moisture.

Temperatures will run close to if not slightly above normal for this time of year Monday through Wednesday. They will be below normal Thursday and Friday, then near normal again for the upcoming weekend.

As for the wind - it will become gusty Monday afternoon and remain gusty Monday night as the cold front blows through. The wind becomes gusty again Wednesday in advance of the next front and will remain gusty Wednesday night into Thursday, out of the northeast.

I wished I had better news concerning rain, or any kind of moisture, but I simply don't at this time.

Sunday Night: Clear and cold, low near 30. Southwest wind 5 to 10.

Monday: Partly cloudy and breezy, high near 62, southwest wind 10 to 20 shifting northerly late day and gusty.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny and cool, high near 55. North wind 10 to 15.

Tuesday Night: Clear, low in the low 30's.

Wednesday: Sunny and 60.

Thursday: Partly cloudy, windy and cold, high 45.
