More Precipitation Friday, Then it Ends

FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ...

RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE RANGED FROM LESS THAN HALF AN INCH ACROSS THE WESTERN BIG COUNTRY TO MORE THAN TWO INCHES SOUTHEAST AROUND THE BROWNWOOD AREA.

WE HAD LIGHT DRIZZLE TODAY BUT RAINFALL AMOUNTS WERE NOWHERE CLOSE TO WHAT WE ENJOYED YESTERDAY. THERE IS, HOWEVER, ANOTHER SYSTEM COMING OUR WAY, BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR RAIN LATE TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY.

I'M PUTTING A RAIN / SNOW MIX IN THE FORECAST. I DON'T EXPECT ACCUMULATING SNOW, NOR WILL WE SEE TRAVEL DELAYS, BUT PLEASE BE EXTRA VIGILANT EARLY FRIDAY MORNING FOR THE POTENTIAL OF PATCHY ICE, ESPECIALLY ON BRIDGES AND ESPECIALLY WEST OF ABILENE ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20 WHERE THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST.

ANY SNOW THAT FALLS FRIDAY WILL BE LIGHT AND MIXED IN WITH THE RAIN.
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE NEAR 32 IN ABILENE, SAME AS WHAT WE HAD LAST NIGHT.

TEMPERATURES FRIDAY WILL BE NEAR 38, AGAIN SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD TODAY.

ONCE THE SYSTEM PASSES US BY FRIDAY NIGHT, RAIN TAPERS OFF AND BY NOON FRIDAY IT SHOULD BE OVER. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND CLOUDS GO AWAY DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY.

THE HIGH FOR SATURDAY WILL BE AROUND 50 BUT SUNDAY WE JUMP BACK INTO THE 60'S FOLLOWED BY THE MID 70'S MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. WE RETURN TO A DRY PATTERN NEXT WEEK.
