Saturday Night Update
Good Evening from Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…
After reaching a record high Thursday temperatures have cooled down quit a bit for the weekend. Overnight lows dipped into the 30’s reaching 36 here in Abilene. Temperatures across the Big Country today have been struggling to make it to just around 60. Overnight again tonight we will see the chilly temperatures reaching the upper 30’s for lows with a few areas especially around the Concho valley maybe just around freezing. Tomorrow highs should warm up into the upper 60’s with lots of sun and maybe a few clouds.
Tomorrow the High that has dominated today will be pushed East and Sunday night we will have a cold front roll through. However it won’t affect the temperatures but maybe a few degrees. We could see some more wind though with gusts up to 20 mph. Tomorrow night we could see lows in the upper 40’s.
Things will warm up for Tuesday with our southwesterly winds brining in some warmer air. We could see upper 70’s however with another front coming through that night we will see a cool down for the rest of the week. Temperatures should stay around average for Wednesday and Thursday with a little bit of a warming trend into the weekend.
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Friday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It was a much cooler day across the Big Country due to a cold front moving through the area this morning. Highs were in the mid 60s to mid 70s which is about 15 to 25 degrees cooler than what we experienced yesterday.
Pleasant conditions are expected for Veteran's Day activities tomorrow. It will start off a little chilly with temperatures in the upper 30s as the sun rises, but by the afternoon highs will reach the low 60s. Winds will be much lighter tomorrow out of the north-northeast at 5 to 10 mph.
Breezy conditions look to return on Sunday under partly cloudy skies. Warmer temperatures are expected with highs in the upper 60s. A cold front should arrive Sunday night into early Monday. There is a slight chance of a shower or two in the southeastern portions of the viewing area if enough moisture is in place. Skies should remain partly cloudy on Monday with highs still in the upper 60s.
Above average temperatures return on Tuesday with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Breezy conditions are expected that day as well. A cold front looks to arrive that night into early Wednesday. Rain is not expected due to a lack of moisture.
It looks like cool, below-average temperatures will be with us on Wednesday and Thursday. Both days should be mostly sunny with highs in the mid 60s.

Friday Morning Forecast!
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly….
We broke a record yesterday- 90 here in Abilene. The previous record was 88 set back in 1988. Compared to the last few days today is going to feel chilly! With a cold front passing just around 8 am in Abilene and throughout the rest of the Big Country in the morning, temperatures will stay just around average for this time of year. We should see upper 60’s to lower 70’s with the Southern Counties warming more because of the delay of the front. With the front we may see a few passing clouds but still plenty of sunshine. Bring out a blanket for the football games- temperatures are going to dip into the upper 30’s for overnight lows with Clear skies.
Tomorrow will stay chilly only reaching low to mid 60’s for highs with plenty of sunshine. We will finally be feeling autumn again with lows in the lower 40’s. Sunday and Monday should warm up nicely to average temperatures with temperatures just around 70 for highs and lower 50’s for lows.
The next cold front will pass on Tuesday bringing the 70’s back down to the 60’s although no rain will be associated with this front as well.
Have a great weekend!

Thursday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We had an unseasonably warm day here in the Big Country. In fact, we set a new record high of 90 at Abilene Regional Airport. That breaks the old record of 88 set back in 1988. Across the rest of the viewing area, highs were in the mid 80s to 90.
A cold front is expected to move through the area starting tomorrow morning. We will likely see no rain due to a lack of moisutre. Highs will range from the upper 60s in the northern portions of the viewing area to the mid to upper 70s in the southern portions. Winds will be breezy from the north-northwest at 10 to 20 mph.
Two more cold fronts should affect the region over the next seven days. One should arrive late Sunday into early Monday. There is a slight chance of rain for the southeastern portions of the viewing area with this front. The other cold front looks to arrive late Tuesday. Precipitation does not look likely with this one due to a lack of moisture. Highs this weekend through Thursday of next week should be in the mid 60s to mid 70s with the coolest temperatures being on Saturday.
Have a fantastic Friday!

Thursday Morning Update!
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…
We ended up with an amazing beautiful day yesterday, highs reached into the upper 80’s with hardly a cloud throughout the entire day. Today will be very similar, could even see a few degrees warmer. Our Record is 88 here in Abilene and we will be close to breaking it if we don’t. For all you autumn lovers don’t worry tomorrow we will be leaning back towards normal very soon.
Our first cold front will pass through tomorrow starting our weekend of with some cooler weather bringing out highs for the day to just around 70. We should also pull in a few clouds however being so dry it won’t be much cloud cover. Overnight lows could make it down to the lower 40’s with winds out of the North so you will want to bundle up for all the football games.
Saturday’s highs should only reach into the lower 60’s with overnight lows again in the 40’s. So in only 48 hours we will have seen the seasons change from summer back to fall. Saturday we will begin to warm back up to lower 70’s from highs and upper 40’s for lows – just around average.
Another cold front will pass Monday but because it is not Canadian in nature we won’t be looking at a drastic change, only a few degrees drop. Tuesday will once again be a little warmer with mid 70’s and on Wednesday cooling back down again to the upper 60’s from another front on Tuesday.
Have a great Thursday!

Wednesday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We had another beautiful day across the Big Country. It was very warm though as highs were in the 80s, which is well above average for this time of year.
The upper level high pressure ridge will remain in the area tomorrow. This is going to cause us to have a hot afternoon as highs are expected to reach the upper 80s to around 90. The record high for tomorrow at Abilene Regional Airport is 88 set in 1988, so it is in danger of being tied and possibly broken. Winds look to be breezy from the southwest at 10 to 20 mph. There will be an elevated fire danger because of this as well as the very warm temperatures and low relative humidity values so please be careful.
A cold front will arrive on Friday. Cooler temperatures should return with highs in the low 70s. No rain is expected with the front due to a lack of moisture so Friday night football games should be dry.
Temperatures look to remain at or slightly above average for this time of year this weekend and the first half of next week. Highs Saturday through Wednesday should range from the upper 60s to mid 70s. A couple of cold fronts should move into the region during this time period. Rain is not expected with these fronts either due to a lack of moisture.
Have a terrific Thursday!

A Warm Wednesday!
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly….
We are getting close to record temperatures today and tomorrow! With a nice ridge sitting over us along with a High pressure system sun and warmth has dominated. We had a beautiful day yesterday although in Abilene we only reached 79 it still felt warm. Today we will warm up even more reaching highs in the mid 80’s. That sunshine should persist throughout most of the day. Overnight lows will stay in the upper 50’s making it very mild evening throughout the coldest time of the night. If you remember only a week ago today we only reached mid 50’s for the highs, a big change in only 7 days! Tomorrow will again be a warm one with temperatures sticking into the mid 80’s could even be a few degrees warmer than today.
Friday we will begin to cool things down in the upper 70’s for highs and overnight lows reaching into the 40’s. This is because of our next cold front that will be passing through. The front will help us to get our temperatures back to around average and it looks like Saturday through Monday that will be the case with highs in the mid to upper 60’s. Overnight lows will stay brisk, into the mid 40’s.
We will be able to bring in some clouds Friday but right now rain chances looking slim to none in the next seven days.
Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Perfect weather for Election day!
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly.
No excuses for not getting out to the polls today! We will have beautiful weather with plenty of sunshine, light winds and temperatures almost ten degrees above average reaching into the upper 70’s. This is all in part to a High pressure ridge that will stick around for the next few days. Tonight we will stay mild even into the over night only reaching mid 50’s for lows.
Tomorrow and Thursday things will again be amazing reaching the mid 80’s for highs! This will probably be the last time summer will return so get out and enjoy this last bit of comfort and play a round of golf! Overnight lows both days will get down to upper 50’s. Friday we will begin to cool a few degrees but highs should be similar to today with upper 70’s and lower 50’s for lows.
Our next cold front will push through sometime later Friday into Saturday and will push our temperatures back into the mid 60’s for highs. However, it will still be pleasant for all the football games. We could even see another upper 40 for our low. Sunday and Monday we should be getting back again to just around 70. No rain in the forecast for the next 7 days.
Make today count, get out and vote!

Warm Temperatures This Week
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
Mostly cloudy skies dominated the area today keeping temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s for highs. There has been some off and on showers and thunderstorms over portions of the Big Country throughout the day. The heaviest of the activity has been over Throckmorton and Stephens counties.
The chance for more showers and thunderstorms will continue tonight and into the morning hours tomorrow. A low pressure system and its assoicated cold and warm fronts will clear the region during the day on Monday. This means rain will end and clouds will break from west to east. Highs should reach the low 70s.
An upper level high pressure ridge will move over the region during the middle of the week. This will push highs into the upper 70s to around 80 for Tuesday through Friday. Dry conditions are expected during this time period.
A cold front looks to arrive late Friday, but the chance for rain looks less than slight. Highs for next weekend should cool down back into the mid to upper 60s.

Saturday Night Update
Good Evening from Meteorologist Kristen Connolly
It has been a great day to grab a book and stay inside! We have seen Mostly Cloudy skies throughout the day with a little sunshine breaking through in the Western counties. We will continue to see the clouds throughout the next few days. Tonight we could see some drizzle and maybe a stray shower but the bulk of the rain will be coming in tomorrow night into Monday. Temperatures overnight will get into the upper 50’s with some winds out of the South. Tomorrow we should see temperatures just around 70.
Sunday night into Monday is when the best chance of rain will be. Showers could be heavy at times. Temperatures will be about the same- just around 70 for highs and lows in the lower 50’s. Tuesday things should clear up as well as warm up. For the rest of the week we should see Temperatures make it into the upper 70’s with lows in the Mid 50’s.
Our next cold front could arrive around Friday night, which would again cool us down. Although we should be above normal for most of the week, the front could bring us back down to average for this time of year.
Have a great rest of the weekend!

Friday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off with mostly cloudy skies this morning, but by the afternoon hours skies were mostly sunny. This allowed us to warm up into the low 60s for highs.
Moisture should be on the increase through the weekend. An upper level low is expected to form to our northwest before moving over the region on Monday. Rainfall chances this weekend begin late Saturday at slight before increasing to 30% on Sunday. Our best shot at showers and thunderstorms will be on Monday at 50%. We could see some lingering precipitation on Tuesday. Highs Saturday through Tuesday should be in the upper 60s to low 70s under mostly cloudy skies.
Wednesday and Thursday look to be dry with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low to mid 70s.
Another upper level low may affect the region next Friday. For now the chance for rain is slight, but that could increase later. It looks like we'll have mostly cloudy skies that day and highs in the upper 60s.
Have a super Saturday!

By Sunday we could see more showers depending on the timing and position of a developing low pressure system and disturbances rolling through. The best chance looks to be Sunday night through Monday. Depending on where the Low moves could mean significant rainfall or very little. Temperatures will make it up to just around 70 Sunday through Monday with lows in the mid 50’s.
Things should begin to clear up Tuesday with temperatures few degrees cooler with highs in the mid 60’s and lows in the mid 50’s.
Have a great weekend!
Temperatures beginning to warm up just a bit for Today, along with the warming we should get some more moisture in our area from the gulf with Southerly winds. This will allow us to see Partly Cloudy skies. Highs for today will make it into the lower 60’s with overnight lows around 50.
For the big football game tonight things should be mild with Temperatures only getting down in the lower 50’s by the end if the evening, light winds, and Partly cloudy skies.

Thursday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We had our first freeze of the season across most of the Big Country last night as temperatures bottomed out in the low 30s. The southern portions of the viewing area had lows in the mid to upper 30s due to some lingering cloud cover. Despite the cold start, we warmed things up quite a bit in the afternoon due to mostly sunny skies. Highs were in the mid to upper 50s with Brownwood reaching 61.
It will not be as cold tonight with mostly cloudy skies developing across the area and winds from the southeast. Lows should be in the upper 30s to low 40s.
The mostly cloudy skies look to remain in the Big Country on Friday. This will keep temperatures cool, but highs should still manage to reach the low to mid 60s thanks to south-southeasterly winds. If you are heading out to a football game tomorrow night, you'll probably want to take a jacket with you to the game because it will be cool out there.
Moisture will continue to be on the increase through the weekend and stick with us early next week. An upper level low and its associated disturbances are expected to affect the region Saturday through Wednesday. The best chance of rain looks to be on Monday and Tuesday. Highs should be in the mid to upper 60s with lows in the mid 50s during this time period.
Have a fantastic Friday!

Thursday Morning Update
Good Thursday Morning everyone from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…
The heater was needed yesterday and overnight! It was a chilly one, and temperatures this morning will be the coldest this week with another surge of Canadian air invading. This surge is also brining with it some drier air which has pushed some of the cloud cover we had yesterday away. However, we will still see some scattered clouds throughout the day because of some upper level moisture. Temperatures should stick mostly into the upper 50’s for highs today, even cooler where there will be cloud cover, mainly into the Southern counties. Overnight lows could again dip into the upper 30’s otherwise lower 40’s. Tonight our winds will switch to the Southeast, this will help us bring in some more moisture and allow for Mostly Cloudy skies overnight.
Tomorrow we should see widespread cloud cover with rain chances to begin into the overnight. We should warm up into the lower 60’s for highs with lows in the lower 50’s. Throughout the weekend moisture is in place and could make for a wet weekend. Sunday through Tuesday look to be the best chance. This will be because a developing low over Montana could potentially come down and push right through our region. Highs through the weekend and into beginning of next week could reach mid to upper 60’s with lows in the mid 50’s, getting back towards average for this time of year.
Have a great Thursday! Stay Warm!

Wednesday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
Cool temperatures remained in the area thanks in part to the overcast skies that spread across the region today. Highs were only in the 50s.
It looks like tonight will be the coldest night we have had so far this season. Unlike last night, we do not have clouds already in or about to move into the area. Lows will be in the low to mid 30s. In fact, I am forecasting a low of 32 in Abilene, which will be the first freeze of the season. Since most of the Big Country did not reach these temperatures last night, there is a Freeze Warning for Knox and Scurry counties. A Frost Advisory has been issued for Haskell, Throckmorton, Fisher, Jones, Shackelford, Nolan, Taylor, Callahan, Coke, Runnels, Coleman, and Brown counties. This means you need to bring in or protect any plants that are outside.
Cool afternoon temperatures will continue through the end of the work week. Highs will be in the upper 50s for Thursday and Friday with partly to mostly cloudy skies. The chance for rain looks less than slight.
Rain chances look better this weekend and early next week. More moisture should be in place before an upper level low and disturbances arrive in the area. The chance for rain increases from 20% on Saturday to 40% on Monday and Tuesday. Highs should be back in the 60s to near 70 for the weekend and the first half of next week.
Have a terrific Thursday!

Cool Forecast
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly....
Halloween brought one thing for sure- some very cool temperatures. We made it up to a high of 65 yesterday but that was just after midnight. The cold front that passed through yesterday morning drove temperatures and was a shock from the 80’s we had experienced just the day before. For Today we are going to bring in some clouds associated with shortwave moving across our area trying to bring some moisture in from the South. This could result in an isolated shower across the southern counties. This will also help pull in a High pressure system that will dominate for a few days. For the most part we will continue our North winds making us only reach upper 50’s for highs. Overnight we will once again see the coldest temperature we have seen yet this season with lows in the mid 30’s with some brisk winds.
Thursday we are looking to see drier condition that what had previously been forecasted. The best chance of rain will once again stay mostly to our South with not enough moisture in our area though we should see cloud cover to really begin into the evening hours. Temperatures will still stay chilly with highs in the upper 50’s and lows getting back into the lower 40’s.
Rain chances are back on for the weekend with temperatures climbing back to around average this time of year. Still a little chiller with highs in the low 60’s Friday and Saturday and lows just around 50. By Sunday and Monday we should highs around 70 and lows around lower 50’s.
