Good Morning from Meterologist Chris Whited...* The heat ridge continues over Texas and the Big Country so today will be another warm day with highs averaging across Abilene and the Big Country between 101 -105° and still very warm at night with lows only dropping into the middle to upper 70s.
* New data this morning keeps the triple digits in the forecast through the weekend with not much of a cool down early next week as we only drop highs into the upper 90s.
* Records: We will be watching closely the record high for Abilene today which is 106° from 1918.We will break close to this record high today as I am forecasting a high of 104° for the Key City today. Some places will be warmer than this today.
* Safety Tips: Remember during this very hot weather to stay cool and drink plenty of water. If you have to be outside, you will need the sunscreen because you will burn very easily in this extreme heat. Check out the Hot Weather Safety Tips graphic posted above the discussion here for tips for dealing with the heat.
