Thursday Morning Forecast

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Around dinner time thunderstorms made it into the Abilene area with a beautiful rainbow setting up in the sky. Outflow boundaries from previous storms led to the activity that began across the Big Country in the afternoon mainly staying in our central counties.

For today we will leave in the slight chance for and afternoon isolated storms however the chance is just slight as the high pressure ridge continues to build in and eventually sit over the Lone Star state for the next several days. With the ridge in control we will see warm and dry conditions for our weekend with highs in the low 90’s and lows in the upper 60’s.

In the tropics we are still watching a low pressure off the west coast of Florida and will eventually move through the very warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This system could strike somewhere along the gulf coast this weekend. The exact location will depend on the location of the high pressure if the high stays over Texas the most likely landfall will be in the Louisiana/Alabama area.

Next week our next cold front could arrive and knock temperatures a few degrees back by mid week.

Have a great day!
