Nice Weather For The Weekend

From meteorologist Jason Myers.......

A messy day across the Big Country. The Abilene Regional Airport reported 0.39" of rain for today, with other areas seeing more. Thunderstorms came through early this morning and showers lasted throughout the afternoon. Thunderstorms and showers will diminish overnight along with the mostly cloudy skies, giving us partly cloudy skies on Friday. Tonight's low temperature will be 49 degrees, and Friday's high temperature will be 70 degrees. Friday night looks good for high school football games. It will feel a little chilly at the game, so take a jacket along with you. At kickoff temperatures will be in the lower 60s, and by the end of the game temperatures should drop into the upper 50s. Saturday and Sunday look good with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid-70s. Don't forget to set your clock back one hour before going to bed Saturday night.
A cold front will move through on Monday, giving a 20% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms....so the kids that plan on going "trick-or-treating" may need to take an umbrella along.

Tropical Storm Beta has winds at 60 mph moving to the north at 3 mph. T.S. Beta looks to become a hurricane in the next 24 hours. It's been a crazy hurricane season, with 12 hurricanes so far this season....on average there are only six hurricanes each year. T.S. Beta is putting down a lot of rain on Central America with it's slow movement. Beta looks to turn to the west into Nicaragua this weekend. With it's slow movement, 10 to 15 inches of rain is expected in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Honduras.
