Quick Warm & Dry Pattern, Rain Next Week:



Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Scattered showers have developed across the Big Country this morning thanks the low level jet across the region. So through mid-morning, there could be a few sprikles in spots, othewise cloudy. As we head into the midday and afternoon hours, the low level jet will weaken as the ridge takes control. Clouds will break and temperatures will warm up into the lower and middle 90s. Lows tonight in the lower
70s.

* The ridge will remain in control of the forecast into Saturday as well pushing temperatures into the upper 90s under a mostly sunny sky. The ridge will shift back westward Sunday which will put the Big Country back under a northwesterly flow. This will allow a weak front to drop down here by Sunday which will help get an isolated storm or two going Sunday and Monday.

* Next Week: The northwesterly flow will help complexes of storms to form over Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma. These complexes will drop south and southeast in the mean flow which means more rain for the area. Also cooler temperatures expected once again in the lower 90s.

* Join us on television this morning for the lastest on your forecast as well as news from around Abilene & the Big Country on KRBC's Abilene Today starting at 6:00 AM and on Abilene Midday later this morning at 11:30 AM.
