Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* No freezing temperatures out there this morning across the Big Country like we dealt with yesterday morning. In fact what a temperature swing we;re going to see. We tied a record low Tuesday morning here in Abilene of 28° and today we're climbing all the way up to 90° for a high temperature. Most places will be in the upper 80s and a few lower 90s today with southwest winds anywhere between 15 and 25 miles per hour. Those winds will continue tonight and keep us rather mild with lows only in the lower to middle 60s. Another warm day is set for tomorrow with highs in the upper 80s and still windy.
* A cold front will cool us down for Friday and into the weekend with highs dropping back into the 70s across the area and lows into the 40s.
* Wilfire Threat: A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for the area on Thursday due to warm temperatures and high winds. We don't have to see windy conditons nor warm temperatures to have a fire threat. Yesterday we saw two fires break out. One in Callahan County and another here in Taylor Country. Remain firewise and on alert!
* Rain Chances: The models are still painting a decent chance for thunderstorms across the area for late Saturday and into the day on Sunday. This morning the run of the GFS model still has a strong low pressure sweeping right over West Central Texas on Sunday. The model has slowed the system down some so we could see rain chances throughout the day on Sunday. Having said that, sunrise services and the eggg hunts could be wet. There is still a chance some of the storms could be severe across the area. We'll watch how things pan out over the next few days so stay tuned for updates.
