Last Warm Day, Colder & Wetter Ahead:

* A few showers out there early this morning, mainlya cross the western and northwestern areas of the Big Country. Today will be the last warm day as major changes come later tonight. The dry line will push eastward again today, so there could be isolated storms pop up in the afternoon again. I think Abilene and eastward show the best chance for an isolated storm.

* Rain Chances: This is probably the best looking forecast package we've seen for the area in months as the setup is there for much needed rainfall across the area. The best rain chances will be Wednesday and all the way into early Saturday. Forecast models indicate we could see 1-2 inches before the event winds down by late weekend. It's not a drought breaker, but 2 inches would be a nice thing to make a dent in the drought.

* Turning Colder: Winter will make a return appearance for tonight and the rest of the week. Daytime highs will only be in the 40s (compare that to low 90s the last two weeks) and overnight lows very cold in the 30s.

Have a great Monday...
