Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* No howling winds to welcome us to a new day this morning like we dealt with yesterday across the Big Country. Wind gusts were over 50 miles per hour at times while we were under the High Wind Warning. Abilene officially peaked out at 53 miles per hour at both the airport and out on base. It was also cool with highs in the 60s
most of the day.
* We will recover quickly with another warm-up and Saturday with highs back up into the the upper 70s/low 80s today and well into the middle/upper 80s on Saturday. Winds will be with us today, but not as bad though topping out between 10 and 20 mph and about 15-20 mph tonight. Winds will higher on Saturday and a Fire Weather Watch is in effect for Saturday.
* Another cold front will arrive late Saturday/early Sunday and will bring another shot of cooler air with highs Sunday and Monday back into the 60s. Also it will be chilly Monday and Tuesday morning with lows in the 30s.
* Rain Chances: Dry and windy is the trend on rainfall for at least the next six days. The long-range models are trying to bring a small chance in the forecast for Thursday of next week. I went ahead and threw a mention of it into my forecast package this morning. As I mentioned yesterday, most areas around here are between and inch and a half and two inches below normal on rainfall for the year.
