Warm Temperatures Continue.....New Record In The Tropics

From Meteorologist Jason Myers......

Another above average high temperature for today. Temperatures in the upper 80s for the Big Country, and lower 90s as you head toward Dallas/Fort-Worth. High pressure is in control over the southern U.S., and that will allow temperatures to remain warm for most of the work week.

In the tropics.....
We have our 21st named storm, with Tropical Storm Wilma, tieing the record of 21 named storms set back in 1933. Wilma is the last name on the 2005 name list, so if we have another named storm the Greek Alphabet will be used, starting with Alpha.
Tropical Storm Wilma became a tropical storm this morning with the latest winds at 40 mph, gusting up to 50 mph. It's moving to the SW at 3 mph and will continue to move slowly west; depending on the high pressure in the southern U.S., T.S. Wilma could turn north. If T.S. Wilma moves north it will move over warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico, turning T.S. Wilma into possibly another major hurricane. Tropical Storm Wilma is definately something Gulf Coast states need to keep an eye on. We'll keep you updated with the latest here at KRBC 9 and on the weather blog.
