Tuesday Morning Forecast

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

A weak cold front moved through Abilene around 10 pm last night helping to switch our winds out of the north, this has brought in some cooler air overnight. Temperatures this morning are ranging from low 50's to 60's in our Southern counties where the front has not made its push.

Today we will see temperatures warm up quickly as we have drier air in place as the front helped to drop our dew points back to the 40's. With plenty of sunshine we should see temperatures in the upper 70's to low 80's. One factor in how warm we will get is when the winds switch from the northwest back to the southwest. The front sitting over us should eventually wash out and leave us with a fairly mild night with winds out of the southwest keeping lows in the upper 50's.

Tomorrow our next front will arrive. This front has a punch to it and should bring in significantly cooler air to the Big Country. The exact timing will depend on how cold we will get overnight but right now lows will drop to the upper 30's to low 40's. Ahead of the front Wednesday we should see highs reach the upper 70's with our Southern counties hitting the low 80's. With not enough moisture to support any rain this front will be a dry frontal passage.

After the front we will see temperatures stay steadily in the upper 60's to low 70's with lows warming up to the low 50's. There will be a slight chance of rain for Friday night into Saturday with the remnants of an upper level low, however rain chances not looking as promising as they once did.

For the weekend highs will be in the low 70's with lows around 50. Our next front will come by the end of the weekend.

Have a great day!
