Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Morning clouds and areas of patchy fog are once again developing across the area this morning so again give yourself a little extra time heading to work and school. This all should burn off by mid-morning. The low clouds will dissipate later this morning and will not be a factor in the forecast like they were yesterday keeping temperatures down.
* A heat ridge is centered over the Rio Grande Valley and has built northward across most of West Central Texas. Daytime highs will climb into the upper 90s to low 100s this afternoon. Friday will be the warmest day with widespread low 100s across the area. Remember your hot weather safety tips during the two day period. One issue we'll deal with is the fact it will be very humid this time around to that will add a factor to the heat.
* Records: The record high for Abilene today is 106° which is pretty much safe. I think the record on Friday which is 100° most likely will be broken as I am forecasting low 100s.
* Weekend: Cold front will arrive late Friday night and cool us back down into the
70s over the weekend. Models are showing a slight chance for an isolated storm or two over the weekend and into Monday. I've went ahead and inserted a 20% chance for the three day period.
* Next Week: The heat begins to build again with highs into the ower 90s toward the middle of next week. Other than the slight rain chance on Monday, next week for now looks warm and dry.
* 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.
* Twitter: Remember you can follow us on twitter anytime for quick severe weather updates by visiting the KRBC Weather Twitter. You can also check on news updates via twitter also by visiting the Big Country Homepage Twitter.
Enjoy Your Thursday...
