Fall Weather Is Coming...

...the only problem is we have to deal with Summer weather for a few more days. Good Sunday morning, Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi here with a quick update before I'm off to see if my Chicago Bears were just a fluke last week with their win over the Lions. I'm sure there will be more comments on that later.

Cayden gets paid for sports, so I better start talking weather. Highs across the Big Country today are going be hot. The record today for Abilene is 104 degrees set in 1977. I don't see us breaking that record, but I could easily see us breaking 100, and that goes for the rest of the Big Country as well. Abundant sunshine, drier than normal air and Southwesterly winds, if you are going to be outdoors, fins some shade and remember to drink plenty of fluids and take frequent breaks.

Now, the good news, cold Canadian air is building up just North of the US boarder and it wants to move. And indeed it will beginning Monday for the Northern Plains and Northern Rockies. In fact, it looks like some of the Rockies could see some of their first significant snows of the fall season. It's going to take that cold air a couple of days to work down here, and of course it will modify (warm) on it's way here. First, we will see a weak cold front push through Monday that will knock our afternoon highs back down to the low 90s. Then we wait for Wednesday night. This will be the front that will finally allow you turn your air conditioner off at night. Right now it looks like Thursday and Friday could struggle to reach 80 degrees for highs and lows should fall into the mid to upper 50s.

That's it for now, kickoff is just under an hour away. I figured since the Cowboy's aren't playing until 3:00 p.m. this week, it may be safe to proclaim my fandom of the Bears in a public forum.

Please, go out and make it a GREAT Sunday!
