Tuesday Morning Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Yesterday started off a little dreary with showers around the area and mostly cloudy skies. By the afternoon you could have never guessed that it had been raining just three hours earlier- we had beautiful sunny skies and very warm temperatures. Although temperatures only hit the mid 80’s it felt a lot warmer in the sun.

Overnight most of the area was able to escape the showers as it passed just the west of our area. This morning we are waking up to temperatures in the mid 60’s with scattered clouds. The rest of the day will beautiful across most the area with plenty of sunshine and a few clouds. We could see an isolated storm towards our northern and western counties however most of us will stay dry. Temperatures will hit the upper 80’s with a few places hitting that 90 degree mark.

By tomorrow a strong pressure gradient will be in place across west Texas- which means a high pressure and a low pressure will be very close. This will kick up our winds with gusts over 30 mph. I do believe this will be out first 90 degree day here in Abilene. With plenty of sunshine it will definitely be feeling hot so grab the sunscreen and water and get out for some fun!

By the end of the week our weather pattern will be shifting from the northwest flow aloft to the southwest as a ridge moves into our area. Temperatures will be in the lower 90’s with lows in the lower 70’s.

Have a great day!
