Sunday Evening Update

From Meteorologist Nathan Motz.....

Warm and breezy conditions continued today across the area as afternoon high temperatures remained about 5 or 6 degrees above normal. Cooler air is not far away however, as a cool front has pushed into the panhandle of Texas. This front will unfortunately have a difficult time making it all the way through the Big Country so we will have to wait a little longer for all that cooler weather to make its way into our neck of the woods.

The front will provide a focal point for showers and thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and evening primarily to the north of the city of Abilene and the I-20 corridor. Humidity levels will continue to remain high as southerly winds bring in more moisture from the Gulf in advance of the front. As a result, overnight lows will not fall too far below the 70 degree mark areawide.

Chances of rain will continue into Tuesday and Wednesday as another front takes aim at west central Texas. This front appears to have a better shot of making it through the Big Country so the best chance of rain will most likely be on Tuesday night as the front makes it through.

Late in the week, models are indicating that an even stronger push of cold air will move into the area bringing another slight chance of rain on Saturday. If this scenario plays out, we may be looking at high temperatures much closer to normal or possibly even below normal next weekend.

Have a great start to the month of October tomorrow!!!!
