Tuesday Morning Forecast

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

It was hot across the area with Abilene regional airport reporting the hottest temperature yet this year sitting at 96. We will continue to see the hot and dry conditions for the next couple days but by the end of the week rain may make a return to the Big Country.

With high pressure still dominating temperatures today will again top off in the mid to upper 90's with abundant sunshine across the area. Be careful if you will be outdoors as heat indices could again get into the triple digits.

For the remainder of the week we are keeping an eye on an area of disturbed weather in the Gulf of Mexico. This area is currently sitting north of the Yucatan peninsula and should be on a track more north/northwest. We could see this area become a depression over the next 24 hours. With moisture returning, we should start to see more cloud cover by tomorrow. This disturbance could move into southern Texas toward the end of the week which will increase our rain chances from Thursday at 20% to Friday and Saturday both at 30%. With the clouds and the rain, temperatures will be cooler with highs in the lower 90's.

Have a good day!
