Nice Weekend Ahead:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Quiet out there this morning across the Big Country. Very nice and cool after the rains last night. Abilene officially recorded 0.31" with the storm yesterday evening but some areas got a whole lot more. Our forecast today still calls for an isolated storm or two with the outflow boundaries still in the area from the storms yesterday. Otherwise today expect a partly cloudy day with highs in the lower 90s. Tonight will be mostly clear with lows into the lower 60s. Weather at the Big Country football stadiums look ok tonight for the kick-off of high school football for the area.

* Weekend Outlook: Pleasant weather ahead for the area as the northly flow will help ease back temperatures into the upper 80s and lower 90s. Very confortable at night with lows into the upper 60s (so most of us can give the a.c. a bit of a break!). We can thank another weak front for helping bring some of the cooler weather. Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions.

* Next Week: Another system/front will work into the area early next week and will bring rain chances back into the area for Monday. Temperatures will not change much as we will remain in the upper 80s/low 90s for highs and overnight lows into the 60s.
