From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...
First I'd like to thank everyone who donated food or money today to the 20th annual Share Your Christmas drive benefitting The Food Bank of West Central Texas. We can't thank you enough for all of your donations.
Secondly, it may not be too late to ask Santa for a snow shovel, although, you may need it before he arrives. We are setting up for a very cold week next week and possible a snowy week as well.
As the jet stream takes a big dip or forms a trough in the central and southern United States, we will begin to feel the arctic air by Monday. In fact, Monday's high temperatures will likely take place overnight and temperatures will hold in the middle to lower 30s through the day or maybe even drop as the day goes on.
The next forecast problem will be precipitation. We have an under 20% chance of rain/freezing rain/sleet Friday night into Saturday. I'm not too concerned about this event. The bigger concerns lie with Monday through Wednesday. We already know the cold air will get here, the next question will be moisture. I'm fairly certain, we will begin to see precipitation in some form Monday afternoon. Then by Monday night, it should change over to snow in the Northern and Central Big Country. One computer model is calling for 3 to 5 inches on the ground by Tuesday evening. I'm not totally convinced of this just yet, we'll have to wait and see how things work out.
Either way, stay tuned over the next few days. As we get closer to next week we will have a much better handle on how things will evolve.

The Cooling Trend Has Begun
From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
A cold front moved through the Big Country this morning, which will cool temperatures down from what we saw yesterday. Highs should be in the upper 50s, which is what we average this time of year. Clouds are expected to decrease throughout the day. By tonight, it will likely be mostly clear with lows in the mid to upper 20s. You will want to protect your pets, plants, and pipes with these below freezing temperatures. Tomorrow should be a nice day. Mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 50s are expected.
It still looks like things could be interesting for this weekend. Much colder air may settle in beginning Friday and last into early next week. A few upper level disturbances are expected during that time period as well. The first of these should be here late Friday into Saturday. The second looks to affect us on Monday. Depending on how cold it is and whether or not we have enough moisture in place will be the two main factors that determine if we see just rain or wintry precipitation. In these type of situations, everything has to play out just right in order to see snow or even ice. You'll want to continue to stay tuned throughout the week as we get closer to these time periods.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

4:45pm Discussion
From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...
Some light rain and drizzle has fallen and continues to fall across the Big Country this afternoon. This is all in association with an upper level low to our North and the sub-tropical jet stream bring mid-level moisture in from the Pacific.
The rain will end tonight from West to East across the area and we will see clearing skies as well. Overnight lows tonight will run from the lower to middle 40s.
Sunny skies will dominate Wednesday and Thursday, then we will begin to see clouds and rain chances return Friday.
Friday night through Saturday night could be tricky across the area. With colder air seeping in from the North, and moisture overriding this air from the South and West, we could be setting up for some winter precipitation this weekend. I will definately recomend you stay tuned, as the closer we get to the weekend, the better idea we will have as to the precipitation type we should expect.
Next week, we will be watching a fairly decent amount of Arctic air moving into the US. Depend on where this air ends up, we could also be setting ourselves up for a winter precipitation event next week. Again, we still have a long way to go between now and then, so stay tuned.

Colder Temperatures On The Horizon
From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off chilly this morning with temperatures mainly in the low to mid 30s. Brownwood bottomed out at 27. There were two factors for the colder weather this morning. First, there were several breaks in the clouds so clear skies occurred at times. Second, the winds were light. When you have clear skies, light winds, and a dry airmass, you can cool down quite a bit.
It looks like we will have above average temperatures again today with highs in the mid to upper 60s. Mostly cloudy skies should rule the day as the subtropical jetstream continues to bring moisture in at the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere. An upper level disturbance is still projected to arrive later today. If enough moisture has returned to the Big Country by the time it gets here, we may see some showers and possibly a few thunderstorms develop late this afternoon and tonight. The good news is that we should see winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph. That will help bring some moisture into the area. Right now, I am calling for a slight chance of rain across the entire area for today. Tonight, that rain chance increases to 20% for mainly the south and eastern portions of the area. This is the part of the Big Country were we may have enough moisture in place to support some rain.
A cold front is expected to arrive early tomorrow which will cool temperatures back down to the 50s for Wednesday and Thursday. Skies should be mostly sunny.
Things get interesting towards the end of the week. Highs for Friday and Saturday will likely only be in the low to mid 40s with mostly cloudy skies. Overnight lows should be right around freezing. It also looks like an upper level disturbance may be moving toward us at that time. For now, I am calling for a 20% to 30% chance of precipitation. I say precipitation since the lows at night may be around freezing. I don't want to get anybody excited, but there is (at least right now) a small potential that we could see some frozen precipitation somewhere in the viewing area. Of course, there are several factors that are left to be played out. So for now, this something that we will be watching very closely. We will continue to keep you up to date on the latest.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Chances For Rain This Week
From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off a bit on the chilly side this morning with temperatures in the upper 30s to mid 40s across the area. Conditions today will be similar to what we saw yesterday. Highs are expected to reach the low 60s with mostly cloudy skies. A weak cold front should move through the area later today. It won't cool us down, but will shift our winds around to the north for the afternoon.
A disturbance will likely move through the area tomorrow giving us a chance for isolated showers and maybe even a thunderstorm. Right now, the chance for rain is only slight to 20%. We may have just enough moisture in place at the surface in order to see this rain. I think those of you in the south and southeastern portions of the Big Country have the best chance to see the precipitation.
Another cold front is expected to arrive early on Wednesday. This will likely cool temperatures back down below average for this time of year. Highs Wednesday through Friday should be in the 50s.
While we likely won't see any rain with the front on Wednesday, there is a slight chance of rain late Friday and possibly into the weekend due to another system moving into the area. It really depends on whether or not we have enough moisture in place. Right now, it looks like we might. So, keep your fingers crossed because we could really use the rain.
Have a magnificent Monday!

From meteorologist Jason Myers......
Cloudy skies have stayed with us today keeping today's high temperatures a few degrees cooler. Today's highs have still gotten up to around 60 degrees for many locations. All the cloud cover is due to a subtropical jet stream that is bringing the high clouds over Texas. High pressure is helping to bring a southerly flow which is helping to keep the temperatures mild. The biggest question is whether or not the southerly flow can bring enough moisture up into West Central Texas. A cold front will move through early Wednesday which will bring a slight chance of rain with it for late Tuesday night into early Wednesday. As the cold front moves through expect to see a return to sunny skies Wednesday afternoon. Any rain that does fall looks to be minimal; or a few hundreths of an inch if any. It's really going to depend how moist the atmosphere will be when the cold front arrives. Right now, don't expect to see much in rainfall amounts due to the continued dry air in place over West Texas. Temperatures should stay close to seasonable for Wednesday through Friday, with highs in the mid-50s. For now enjoy the mild tempearatures for Monday and Tuesday with high in the lower 60s.
Have a great week!

From meteorologist Jason Myers.......
A beautiful Saturday across the Big Country. With high pressure in control and sunny skies, today's high temperatures across the Big Country have warmed into the upper 50s and lower 60s. High pressure will continue to dominate over the next few days giving us a southerly flow, providing mild temperatures in the lower to upper 60s. Sunday skies will remain mostly sunny, yet Monday we'll have mostly cloudy skies due to the southern branch of the jet stream bringing in middle to high altitude clouds. A pacific cold front will move through the Big Country Tuesday afternoon and evening, bringing the temperatures down. There will be a slight chance of rain for locations east and southeast of Abilene due to more of a moisture supply, yet it looks like everyone in the Big Country will stay dry. Since this cold front is a Pacific cold front, it will not have as much cold air behind it as last week, when we saw cold, arctic fronts move through. Wednesday and Thursday's high temperatures will remain in the mid 50s.
Enjoy the beautiful weather!

The Warming Trend Continues
From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We had another very cold morning with lows ranging from 9 to 19 across the area. Temperatures finally went above freezing late this morning for the first time in about 60 hours. The good news is that temperatures will continue to warm up over the coming days. Tonight will not be as cold, but still below freezing with lows in the upper 20s to low 30s. A cold front is expected to arrive during the day tomorrow. It's really more of a wind shift line because our temperatures won't really cool down from what we saw today. In fact, highs should be in the mid to upper 50s.
Sunday through Tuesday are looking nice. Mostly sunny skies are expected on Sunday. Partly cloudy skies should be here on Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will be above average for this time of year with highs in the 60s.
Things begin to change again on Wednesday. A much stronger cold front is expected to arrive early in the day. There is a chance we could see some arctic air behind the front. It's still a little too early to tell exactly how cold we will be. For now, it looks like we will see temperatures back below average with highs in the low to mid 50s. We'll continue to keep an eye on this, so stay tuned. Unfortunately, no rain is expected for at least the next five days.
Have a wonderful weekend!

6:30p.m. Update
From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...
The good news is, the chances for winter precipiation across the Big Country has just about ended. Roads are dry. The bad news is, temperatures are dropping and will do so all night long.
If you have any travel plans tonight or tomorrow anywhere East of the Big Country, say to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, you might want to hold off. Freezing rain, sleet and snow are continuing to fall at this hour and will continue to do so overnight. The National Weather Service is calling for possible one to two inches of snow by morning. Roads are already slick and getting slicker by the hour. Temperatures will likely stay below freezing there as well until Friday.
Back here at home, there is still a slight chance of wintry precipitation from Eastland county, to Brown and Comanche counties. The chances will likely end just after midnight.
Temperatures will fall into the single digits, 9 to be exact in Snyder tonight. The rest of the area will see lows around 10 degrees or a few degrees warmer.
For updates on all of the warnings and advisories, please visit the National Weather Service's website: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/sjt/ Just click on your county and the next page will have all of the current advisories for your area.
I'll have the latest radar imagery tonight at 10:00 p.m. on the KRBC-9 News.

Winter Weather Update 12:45p.m.
From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...
I probably don't have to tell you this, but it is bitterly cold outside. Temperatures across the Big Country are in the teens, and I don't expect that to change for at least another 24 hours from now.
As far as winter precipitation, we have seen a little bit of freezing rain/sleet in extreme Eastern Comanche county and some snow in extreme Northeastern Throckmorton county. As of now, that is it. I do expect another round of precipitation to threaten the Easter viewing area this afternoon, but for the most part, I expect the worst travel conditions to be East of our area and into the Metroplex. Also South of Dallas, on Interstate 35, travel will be hazardous as well.
Our "ticker" will be running constantly throughout the day and night on KRBC to keep you updated on the current conditions and forecasts across the area.
Please, use extra caution, SLOW DOWN, and bundle up when going outdoors for the next couple of days.

Winter Weather Update 6:45p.m.
From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Stephens, Eastland, Comanche and Brown counties through Wedensday evening.
The National Weather Service has also issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Throckmorton, Shackelford, Callahan and Coleman counties through Wednesday evening.
A Winter Storm Warning is issued when significant amounts of snow, sleet and ice are expected, or are occuring, which will make travel very hazardous.
A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepare for slippery roads and limited visibilities.
Here's what I am expecting...
The cold front will push through the Big Country overnight. Temperatures will hold in the lower 20s through the morning Wednesday, then drop into the teens by late afternoon. Precipitation chances will begin by late morning across the entire area. I expect that the Western, Northern and Central Big Country will only see flurries. The Eastern and Southeastern viewing area will see freezing rain quickly changing over to sleet, with perhaps a little bit of snow.
The best chance for accumulating ice and or snow will more than likely be in the extreme Eastern portions of the viewing area and the extreme Southeaster portions.
For the latest information, please watch the KRBC-9 News tonight at 10:00 p.m.

11:30a.m. Update
From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...
The cold front is on the way. The front has already entered the Texas panhandle and has pushed through Amarillo this morning. The temperature there at 11:00 a.m. is 20 degrees! The National Weather Service in Amarillo is forecasting a low tonight of 7 with a high of only 17 tomorrow, then a low of 2 tomorrow night.
As far as precipitation chances, my thinking is still the same as last night. I do believe we will see some light snow, sleet and freezing rain. I do not believe it will be enough to shut down any roads or schools though. Now, if you have travel plans to the East, there could be some travel problems when you near the Metroplex. A winter storm watch remains in effect for Stephens, Eastland and Comanche counties through Wednesday night. Remember a winter storm watch is issued when any form of winter precipitation could hinder travel. For all of the details on the watch from The National Weather Service in Fort Worth, click the following link.:
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=TXZ129&warncounty=TXC133&local_place1=Carbon&product1=Winter+Storm+Watch
Now, we're not going to get quite as cold as Amarillo, but it will be close. I expect the front to pass through the Big Country later tonight shortly after midnight. Our high temperature for Wednesday will occur just before the front passes, and temperatures will stay in the mid 20s through the overnight and then drop during the day Wednesday as the cold air continues to filter in. Afternoon temperatures on Wednesday will more than likely be in the upper teens to right around 20. Wind chill values will more than likely run in the single digits. North winds will be a steady 10 to 20 miles per hour Wednesday.
Ironically, today is National Winter Weather Awareness Day. For more information, please click on the following link to the National Weather Service's website about Winter Weather Awareness Day. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/sjt/html/preparedness/public.html
I'll have more details on the timing of the cold front and any precipitation here on the blog later today. For the most up to date information, please watch the KRBC-9 News at 5:00p.m. and 6:00p.m.

The National Weather Service in Amarillo is forecasting a low tonight of 7 with a high of only 17 tomorrow, then a low of 2 tomorrow night.
As far as precipitation chances, my thinking is still the same as last night. I do believe we will see some light snow, sleet and freezing rain. I do not believe it will be enough to shut down any roads or schools though. Now, if you have travel plans to the East, there could be some travel problems when you near the Metroplex. A winter storm watch remains in effect for Stephens, Eastland and Comanche counties through Wednesday night. Remember a winter storm watch is issued when any form of winter precipitation could hinder travel. For all of the details on the watch from The National Weather Service in Fort Worth, click the following link.:

Now, we're not going to get quite as cold as Amarillo, but it will be close. I expect the front to pass through the Big Country later tonight shortly after midnight. Our high temperature for Wednesday will occur just before the front passes, and temperatures will stay in the mid 20s through the overnight and then drop during the day Wednesday as the cold air continues to filter in. Afternoon temperatures on Wednesday will more than likely be in the upper teens to right around 20. Wind chill values will more than likely run in the single digits. North winds will be a steady 10 to 20 miles per hour Wednesday.
Ironically, today is National Winter Weather Awareness Day. For more information, please click on the following link to the National Weather Service's website about Winter Weather Awareness Day. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/sjt/html/preparedness/public.html

FROM METEOROLOGIST JASON MYERS......
WHAT A CHANGE ONE DAY CAN MAKE. WITH SATURDAY'S HIGH REACHING A RECORD 87 DEGREES, TEMPERATURES QUICKLY DROPPED BY SUNDAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY REACHING 46 DEGREES AT THE ABILENE REGIONAL AIRPORT....ALL THANKS TO A COLD FRONT THAT MOVED THROUGH THE BIG COUNTRY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE STAYING AROUND A LITTLE LONGER THIS WEEK.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD INTO WEST CENTRAL TEXAS MONDAY AND TUESDAY PROVIDING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. WITH COLD AIR IN PLACE, AND A NORTHERLY WIND ON MONDAY, HIGHS WILL BE STAYING RATHER CHILLY. MONDAY WILL START OFF COLD WITH A LOW OF 23 DEGREES MONDAY MORNING AND THEN REACHING 49 DEGREES BY THE AFTERNOON.
TUESDAY WILL BE A LITTLE WARMER AS THE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES TO THE EAST GIVING US A SOUTHERLY FLOW, PROVIDING WARMER AIR TO MOVE INTO THE BIG COUNTRY.
TUESDAY WILL BE SEASONAL WITH A HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 58 DEGREES.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO EVENING, A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE BIG COUNTRY, BRINGING IN SOME OF THE COLDEST AIR WE'VE SEE ALL SEASON.
MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL BE 28 AND 20 DEGRESS, RESPECTIVELY.
HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY WILL NOT GET OUT OF THE LOW TO MID 30S, WITH THE COLD, ARCTIC AIR IN PLACE AND PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.
THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEEING SOME SNOW FLURRIES ON WEDNESDAY, YET THAT IS ONLY A SLIM CHANCE, BECAUSE THE AIR IS SO DRY OVER THE BIG COUNTRY.
THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING A SNOW FLURRY WOULD BE TOWARD THE EAST AND SOUTH OF ABILENE, DUE TO MORE OF A MOISTURE SUPPLY.
AT THIS POINT, ANY FLURRIES THAT DO APPEAR WILL ONLY BE LIGHT AND OCCASIONAL...GIVING NO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION.
BUNDLE UP THIS WEEK AND MAKE SURE YOU WEAR LAYERS IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE.
ALSO, HERE IS LIST OF SOME IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR COLD WEATHER FROM A "SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT" PUT OUT BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EARLIER TODAY:
SOME OTHER GOOD IDEAS TO PREPARE FOR THE UPCOMING COLD WEATHER IS...
1- ENSURE YOUR HEATING DEVICES ARE CLEAN AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.
2- KEEP ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM HEATERS.
3- ENSURE ALL EXPOSED PIPES ARE PROPERLY INSULATED.
4- YOU ARE URGED TO HAVE A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR TO KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SAFE THIS WINTER.
5- TAKE IT EASY OUTSIDE BECAUSE YOUR HEART HAS TO WORK EXTRA HARD DURING THE COLD WEATHER.
6- IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO WEAR LAYERS OF CLOTHING IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUTSIDE.
7- MAKE SURE YOUR PETS AND LIVESTOCK HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD AND HAVE A WARMPLACE TO TAKE SHELTER FROM THE COLD.
STAY WARM AND SAFE THIS WEEK. WE'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THE COLD WEATHER HERE AT KRBC 9 YOUR COMMUNITY CONNECTION!

From Meteorologist Jason Myers......
After a record high of 87 degrees, big changes are on the way with temperatures. Currently, a cold front is moving through the Big Country changing the winds to the north, and bringing cold, Canadian air with it. Overnight low temperatures will range from 31 degrees in Haskell, Snyder, and the northern Big Country, to 33 degrees in Abilene and Eastland; the Brownwood, Ballinger, and the southern Big Country will see low temperatures drop to 34 degrees.
Sunday, patchy clouds and cold air will keep high temperatures chilly, with a high of 47 degrees. Sunday night into Wednesday night low temperatures will all be at or below freezing. Temperatures Monday and Tuesday will be in the low to mid 50s.
An even stronger cold front will move through Tuesday afternoon and evening bringing the coldest temperatures we've seen in West Central Texas for the season.
With cloudy skies, HIGH temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday will stay in the 30s with a high of 39 and 37, respectively.
On an interesting note, Hurricane Epsilon has sustained winds at 80 mph with a movement to the east at 12 mph. Hurricane Epsilon will not effect any part of the U.S. and is meandering in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Epsilon should begin to weaken tonight and over the next couple of days as it moves over colder water.
Enjoy your weekend and have your winter coat, gloves, and hat before going outside this week.

10:00p.m. Update
From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...
Hold on to your hats... Another windy day across the Big Country Saturday. West-SouthWest winds will run from between 15 and 25 miles per hour through the day. Expect Red Flag Warnings across all of the area. The low relative humidity values, combined with dry grounds and strong winds will increase the threat of fires considerably.
By Saturday evening, a strong cold front will push through the area.
This cold front will bring afternoon high temperatures back down to below normal. We're talking maybe 50 for a high Sunday.
Expect a hard freeze Sunday night into Monday morning. In fact, we could be seeing overnight lows at or below freezing starting Sunday night and continuing each night for the next week.
An even stronger cold front will arrive early Wednesday. This cold airmass looks to hang around awhile as well. I don't expect high temperatures to climb out of the 30s Wednesday afternoon.
For now, it looks like we will remain dry through these next two fronts. Although some models were hinting at a slim chance of precipitation Wednesday, I think the best chances will be East and Southeast of the KRBC viewing area.
Please, go out and make it a SAFE & GREAT weekend!

Warm and Windy...For Now
From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off chilly in most locations this morning with lows in the mid to upper 30s. Brownwood was the cold spot with a low of 25. Everyone will be warm and windy by this afternoon with highs in the mid 70s. Winds are expected to be from the south-southwest at 15 to 25 mph. Higher gusts are possible. Some of the area is under a Red Flag Warning today because of gusty winds, low relative humidity values, and dry conditions. The counties under the Red Flag Warning are: Knox, Stonewall, Haskell, Throckmorton, Fisher, Jones, Nolan, and Taylor. You will want to put off any outdoor burning plans you may have had for not only today, but tomorrow as well. Warm and windy conditions return tomorrow with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. The record high at Abilene Regional Airport for December 3 is 81 set back in 1977. It looks like we may set a new record high on Saturday.
Changes begin Saturday night with the arrival of a cold front. No rain is expected, but much cooler temperatures are. Highs Sunday through Tuesday should be in the low to mid 50s. Lows will likely be below freezing Sunday and Monday night.
A strong cold front is expected late Tuesday. It looks like there will be a major arctic blast behind the front. Highs may only be in the upper 30s to low 40s for Wednesday and Thursday. We'll continue to keep an eye on the situation and keep you updated.
Have a fantastic Friday!

9:00 p.m. Update
From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...
Go ahead and bring the pets and plants in tonight. We'll see a light freeze across the majority of the Big Country. The freezing temperatures will probably not last long though, as winds will increase out of the South to about 15 miles per hour by sunrise. The stronger winds will bring temperatures back above freezing overnight.
Warm & windy conditions will prevail Friday afternoon. Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches will likely be issued by the National Weather Service due to the strong winds expected and the low relative humidity values.
Another cold front will push through the Big Country Saturday afternoon and evening. This front will knock afternoon highs down into the upper 40s and lower 50s for Sunday and Monday.
Tuesday night, get ready, a strong cold front will arrive in the Big Country that could keep our high temperatures down into the 30s Wednesday.

Cool Today, Mild Tomorrow
From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
I want to start off apologizing for not updating the blog yesterday. It was a busy day. A cold front moved through the area last night, so it will be much cooler this afternoon. Highs will only reach the mid to upper 50s. The chilly nights will continue tonight with lows in the mid to upper 30s. It could be colder if the winds go calm.
Temperatures will rebound back up for Friday and Saturday with highs in the low to mid 70s. Windy conditions are expected tomorrow with winds from the south-southwest at 15 to 25 mph.
Another cold front is expected to arrive Saturday night. This will cool us back down for Sunday and Monday. Highs will be in the low to mid 50s. No rain is expected with the front. It looks like the cold air will stick around a little longer this time because some models are indicating highs in the 40s for the middle of next week. The models have been back and forth the past couple of days on exactly how cold (or warm) it will be. We'll continue to watch the situation and keep you updated.
Have a terrific Thursday!
