Brrrrr is Back !!

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

So, tired of the warm weather? Well don't worry, winter is just around the corner, at least for two days.

Wow is a good word to describe what's coming our way. A strong cold front should arrive in Abilene about sunrise Friday morning, if not a little before. Here is what to plan on Friday.

1. Winds gusting between 25 and 35. Wind chills in the 30's throughout the day.

2. Temperatures starting the day in the upper 40's but slowly falling to about 40 late in the day.

3. Precipitation should be light rain to start, but change to light snow during the day into the evening.

4. Accumulations likely light. Snow favored in areas along and north of Interstate 20. Farther north you go toward Haskell, Aspermont and Knox City, a little more snow around 1 inch.

5. Road conditions should be good in our area, not expecting them to freeze, but be wet from the moisture.

6. Travel plans toward Lubbock? Get the latest weather before you go as they look for much more in the way of snow. Lubbock to Amarillo? It gets worse with possible blizzard conditions in the northern Texas Panhandle.

7. Monitor bigcountryhomepage.com through the day - we also Twitter with krbcwx.

8. Possible freeze Friday night at 32-35.

9. Highs Saturday around 50-55. Clearing Saturday but still very windy.

10. Around 70 by Sunday with no more rain in the forecast through the middle of next week.
