Hovering Around Freezing

7:45pm Update from the KRBC Weather Center ..

Temperatures have remained virtually unchanged .. it has been 31 in Abilene since 2pm.

Immediate concern remains for icy road conditions as temperatures stay in the 29-32 range all night. Also, an upper level low is moving in our direction from the southwest U.S. and northern Mexico. It will create more widespread rain and possibly thunderstorms overnight into Saturday which could lead to additional icing IF temperatures remain steady.

Forecast data hints that we could even see temps warm a couple degrees closer toward morning as Gulf moisture is pulled into our area by the approaching system.

So - be alert to patchy ice on roads - expect widespread rain to increase across the area tonight and continue most of the day Saturday - and even a few strong thunderstorms are possible.

Updates as we go along. Thanks for stopping by.
