Thursday Morning Forecast

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

Just after midnight we saw rainfall here in Abilene, picking up just over a half an inch and the Abilene Regional Airport. Temperatures this morning are staying in the low 70's.

Through the day today we will see a better chance for showers and thunderstorms. The cold front that has made its move through the Lone Star state is just north of Throckmorton and Haskell counties this morning. It should push further south today bringing with it a lifting mechanism for our rain along with cloud cover and cooler temperatures. Highs today will be in the mid to upper 80's.

Tomorrow we will see northwest flow aloft thanks to a strong upper level ridge out west. This could push disturbances through and bring more rain chances for the start of the weekend. The front should stall out in our just around our area and eventually washing out. This will leave better chance for outdoor activities by the end of the weekend and out Labor Day. I will keep 20% in the forecast with only a slight chance on the holiday.
Temperatures will be in the upper 80's with lows in the upper 60's.

Have a great day and don't forget the umbrella!
