Wednesday Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Overnight has been quiet across the Big Country, a big change from the storms that rolled through just 24 hours before. This morning temperatures are starting off in the upper 60’s to lower 70’s with just a few scattered clouds.

A Cold front that will bring our next rain chances to the area is currently located in the Panhandle just south of Amarillo. Also to aid in the rain chances is the dry line that is just west of our area. For the rest of the day we will see partly sunny skies with thunderstorms possible to develop as early as noon. Again with these storms we could see some become severe. Temperatures will get into the upper 80’s.

The front should start to make it’s by afternoon/early evening and may stall out just over the Big Country tonight. This will keep thunderstorms in the forecast through the overnight with lows in the upper 60’s.

Thanks to the front we will drop temperatures just slightly tomorrow, back into the mid 80’s. We will keep the rain chances in Thursday but will start the weekend off dry and warm the temperatures back into the upper 80’s. We have not hit a 90 degree mark yet this year in Abilene and we will be getting close if not hitting it over the next couple days.

Saturday through early next week we will put rain chances back on the board thanks to our next trough. Again temperatures will be in the upper 80’s with lows in the upper 60’s.

Have a great day!
