Windy Conditions Return Tomorrow

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Sorry for the late update today. We started off cold this morning. In fact it was the coldest morning of the season so far in Abilene and Brownwood. Here in Abilene we started off at 22, while in Brownwood temperatures bottomed out at 21. It was a cool afternoon across the Big Country with highs only reaching the upper 40s to low 50s. Cold temperatures are expected again tonight with lows in the upper 20s to low 30s.

Tomorrow will be much different than today. Highs will reach the upper 60s to low 70s with windy conditions. Winds are expected to be from the south-southwest at 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts possible. A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for most of the viewing area for Wednesday. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Stephens, Eastland, and Commanche counties for tomorrow. This means you should put off any outdoor burning plans you may have had. We see these types of watches and warnings when we have low relative humidity values, gusty winds, and dry conditions.

The roller coaster ride of temperatures continues Thursday through Sunday. A cold front will move through tomorrow night and cool temperatures back down for Thursday. Highs should be in the mid to upper 50s. Unfortunately, no rain is expected with this front. We warm back up quickly on Friday and Saturday with highs in the low 70s. Yet another cold front is expected to arrive Saturday night into Sunday morning. No rain is expected with this front either. Highs should be in the mid to upper 50s for Sunday.

Have a terrific Tuesday evening and a wonderful Wednesday!
