Good Morning from Meterologist Chris Whited...
* The core of the heat ridge is now over Texas and the Big Country so today will be the warmest day so far with highs averaging across Abilene and the Big Country between 102 -106° 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 103° from 1978, 1964 & 1918. I do expect we will break 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. The record high for Friday is 106° from 1918.
* 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.
* Please join us on television this morning for the lastest on your forecast as well as news from around Abilene & the Big Country on KRBC's Abilene Today starting at 6:00 AM and on Abilene Midday later this morning at 11:30 AM.

Enjoy your Thursday & Stay Cool...
