Good Morning from Meterologist Chris Whited...
* The heat ridge has settled right over Texas and the Big Country so expect extremely warm temperatures starting today and lasting into Saturday. Daytime highs will range between 100-106° (of course I wouldn't be surprised if some spot gets above 106°) and not much of a cool down with lows between 74-78° each night. The ridge will keep the air sinking so mostly sunny conditions and no rain chances the next seven days.
* Records: The record high for Abilene today is 105° from 1978. The record high Thursday is 103° from 1978 as well. The record for Friday is 106° from 1918 and the record for Saturday is 104° form back in 1998. We're going to have to watch the records the next few days as forecast temperatures will be close to, if not a bit warmer than the records.
* Safety Tips: Remember during this very hot weather to stay cool and drink plenty of water. Check out the Hot Weather Safety Tips graphic posted above the discussion here for tips for dealing with the heat.
* Please 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.
