Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* First off I will have to say I've been pretty much disappointed with the way the forecast has turned out the last few days as most of the viewing area has not seen the good rains we have been anticipating and the forecast models were predicting. Now having said that, I do know our southern and northern counties have seen some good rains but for most of the area, including here in Abilene, mother nature has not provided for the drought. Today is the last day of the month and Abilene will end April and begin May with a rainfall deficit for the year of well over two inches.
* Storms this morning to the north and east will move away and the clouds will decrease as the thermometer cranks up. The sky will be partly cloudy the next two days with highs in the middle 80s today and approaching 90° on Friday. Overnight lows will be muggy into the middle 60s.
* Rain chances return to the forecast as a front drops into the area over the weekend but don't expect much of a temperature relief from the front as it will cool us only into the lower 80s. The best chance for rain will be on Sunday, with a 40% chance while I am forecasting a 30% chance on Saturday.
* Severe Weather: Most of the SPC forecast outlooks keep any severe weather chances this weekend well to our north along the Red River. We'll keep an eye on things in the event of any changes.
* Next Week: Dry weather for Monday and Tuesday and then a slight chance for rain returns by the middle of next week. Highs in the lower to middle 80s and lows in the lower 60s.
* Join us on television this morning for the lastst on your forecast as well as news from around Abilene and the Big Country on KRBC's Abilene Today at 6:00 AM and on Abilene Midday at 11:30 AM.
