It's Here !!!!

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....

The highly advertised Arctic cold front shifted the winds around in Abilene at 7:45pm tonight (Wednesday). Now, we suffer through three days of temperatures that will be 30 degrees below normal for this time of year.

Clouds were quickly building into the area from the north. The clouds may produce some very light drizzle, or mist, and fog, which will freeze on contact with all surfaces - sidewalks and roads - going into Thursday. Prepare for icy travel and be extra safe when driving the roads Thursday.

I'm still hanging with snow flurries on Friday from Abilene westward as a minor system comes out of New Mexico, into West Central Texas. No significant accumulations are likely, it looks pretty weak.

TEMPERATURES - around 20 Wednesday, and not much more than that Thursday.
Thursday night middle teens, Friday mid 20's, Friday night near 10, Saturday 32 or a little above.

WIND CHILL - the temperature will feel like zero to 10 degrees outside on Thursday and will feel like 5 to 15 degrees outside on Friday.

Sunday is the first day we climb into the 40's then near 50 on Monday.

Bundle Up! Check on your neighbors (especially the elderly) and make sure they have ample heat and water - let's take care of each other !

Randy
