Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…
Temperatures only stuck in the lower 60’s despite the plentiful sunshine. Overnight was again a chilly one in some places, Brownwood getting down into the upper 20’s with our friends in Abilene staying in the 40’s.
It will be great week for all the kids who have this week off of school and want to get out and play! Today we should see a warming in temperatures that will stick around until Thanksgiving. This is because of an upper level ridge and a high pressure system at the surface is helping to bring in the southwesterly winds which in turn will warm us up. Along with the warmth we could see some gusty conditions today and tomorrow with winds getting up to 20 mph. Temperatures should stay around 70 for today across the region with a few degrees increase tomorrow to around mid 70’s and by Thanksgiving even seeing upper 70’s. Lows over the next few days should be just around 50 degrees. Plenty of sunshine will help with all the travel plans around the area and across the Western part of the US. However a Low pressure system off the Carolinas is causing some problems. Please pay attention for delays if your plans are leading you over to that neck of the woods.
By Friday our next cold front will push into the Big Country and bring us back to seasonal temperatures for the weekend. Highs will only be in the mid 60’s Saturday and Sunday. With our next system we should also be able bring in some moisture, although right now not looking like enough to cause any precipitation.
Have a great day!

Monday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It was another pleasant day across the Big Country with seasonal temperatures. Highs were in the upper 50s to mid 60s.
An upper level high pressure ridge will build into the region and hang around through Thanksgiving. This means dry conditions and above average temperatures for the holiday. Highs will be in the low 70s tomorrow before reaching the upper 7os on Thursday. It doesn't look like we will have any weather related travel problems here in the Big Country except for breezy conditions the next couple of days. Winds are expected to be from the southwest at 10 to 20 mph. The fire danger will be elevated Tuesday and Wednesday so be careful.
A cold front should arrive on Friday beginning a cooling trend that will last into the weekend. Unfortunately, rain chances are less than slight. The best dynamics will be east of the area so it looks like another dry week for us. We may see an increase in clouds Saturday and Sunday. Highs on Friday should be in the low 70s with 60s returning this weekend.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Warm week for the Holidays!
From Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…
Beautiful conditions continued for the weekend thanks to a High pressure system and it looks like the holiday week will be much of the same! Temperatures today will start of relatively cooler, even in the 30’s in some places, so grab the jackets as you get out this morning. We will only make it into the mid 60’s by the afternoon but plenty of sunshine will make it feel a little warmer. One more night of overnight lows dipping into the lower 40’s to upper 30’s however this will be the last we will see of the cooler temperatures for a few days!
The southwesterly winds will begin to kick up and warm us up on Tuesday and things should only continue to warm until Thanksgiving. You may even be able to break out the t shirts by holiday! With Sunny skies highs through the mid week should reach into the mid 70’s with overnight lows just around 50 degrees. It will be perfect weather for traveling and all your holiday plans! Friday our next front will come through cooling us off for the weekend even bringing some clouds and maybe a slight chance for some rain Sunday. We will see how this all plays out over the next few days.
Have a great holiday week!

You will not need a telescope or binoculars. Be sure you are in a clear spot away from city lights and look eastward.
Cooler temperatures should be with us tomorrow with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Mostly sunny skies are expected.
An upper level high pressure ridge looks to build into the region early next week. This will cause a warming trend for us. Highs are expected to be in the mid 60s on Monday before reaching the mid 70s on Wednesday. Breezy conditions are likely Tuesday through Thursday. Overall, it looks like it will be pleasant for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Friday Morning Forecast!
From Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly
After a cool start yesterday getting down to 28 just after sunrise we warmed up to a crisp fall afternoon. Today should be similar with maybe a few degrees warm up but plenty of sunshine. We will see a wind shift associated with our next cold front that is arriving this evening, however not much of a cool down. Temperatures today will top our near 70 with overnight lows reaching into the upper 30’s. Temperatures for the football games shouldn’t get much colder than upper 40’s, but you will still want to grab the blanket!
They next few days look relatively quiet with a High pressure dominating. Throughout the weekend we will see a bit of a cool down with mid 60’s Saturday and Sunday cooling down to upper 50’s. Overnight lows will be Chilly in the mid 30’s. Perfect weather to bundle up and get out to the Ice House that just opened and support our Habitat for Humanity!
Into next week we should see a small warming trend with our lows Tuesday and Wednesday getting up to the upper 40’s and by Thanksgiving maybe even topping out at low 70’s for highs.
Have a great weekend everyone, go skating!

Thursday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off cold this morning in the Big Country with temperatures in the mid 20s to low 30s. For many areas, it was the coldest morning of the season so far. By the afternoon, we had warmed up into the mid 60s which is our average for this time of year.
We will be slightly warmer Friday with highs in the upper 60s. A cold front looks to arrive late tomorrow bringing us cooler temperatures for the weekend and early next week. Rain is not expected with the front due to a lack of moisture. Mostly sunny skies look to be with us Saturday through Monday. Highs should be in the mid 60s on Saturday and the upper 50s Sunday and Monday.
An upper level high pressure ridge begins building into the region Tuesday through next Thursday. This will push our highs back into the mid to upper 60s. At this time, Thanksgiving Day looks to be pleasant with no weather related travel problems in the viewing area. We will continue to keep you updated on the holiday forecast.
Have a fantastic Friday!

Thursday Morning Update!
From Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly….
It was a windy day yesterday! Our highest gust made it up to 51 mph at the Abilene Regional Airport and highest sustained winds at 43 mph. This caused some problems around our area with downed power lines. Also traveling became an issue when DFW was up to a 175 minute delay which affected our own airport. The winds finally subsided by around 8pm getting down into the teens. Along with the wind we have gotten the very dry air with dew points in the teens.
Today we should warm up a little more than yesterday reaching just around average for this time of year- 65 degrees. The Sun will dominate and we will have some lighter winds out of the West Southwest. Overall a perfect fall day looks to be in store and sticking around for a while. Overnight we should stay in the low 40’s. Tomorrow we will again stay just around average with our next cold front arriving sometime in the evening. Although this cold front is Pacific in nature and will not cool us down much at all. Throughout the weekend we should continue to see mid 60’s with lows in the lower 40’s and Sunny skies.
By the beginning of next week we should see a small warming with our temperatures rising to the lower 70’s Tuesday and Wednesday.
Have a great Thursday!

Wednesday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It has been a cool and very windy day across the Big Country. A cold front moved through the area last night bringing cold and dry air with it. We never got afternoon temperatures above the 50s. Winds were the main story today. We had sustained northwesterly winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts of 40 to 45 mph through much of the day.
The winds will be light later tonight. Combine that with the clear skies and dry airmass that is in place already and you have optimal conditions for radiational cooling. Lows tonight should be in the upper 20s to around 30. A Freeze Warning is in effect for all counties in the viewing area except for Stonewall, Stephens, Eastland, Comanche, and Brown. Everyone should protect their plants and pets for tonight.
We will experience a slight warming trend Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid to upper 60s. A cold front looks to arrive Friday night, but should not be as strong as the one we had move through last night. No precipitation is expected due to a lack of moisture.
The weekend looks pleasant right now. We will likely see an increase in clouds on Sunday. Highs should be in the low to mid 60s.
A warming trend is expected the first half of next week due to an upper level high pressure ridge moving into the region. Highs look to be in the low 70s by Tuesday and Wednesday.
Have a terrific Thursday!

Freezing Temps Tonight!
From Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly
A strong cold front rolled through just before 11pm last night bringing in some cooler air. Throughout the night winds blew with gusts making it to 40 mph, with sustained winds around 25-35 mph. This morning temperatures will stay cooler in the upper 40’s but because of the winds we will not dip as cold as we will for Wednesday night.
Wednesday we will see plenty of sunshine but very dry conditions and continue with our winds blowing the dust and dirt. The winds are because of a tight gradient between an area of High pressure to our West and an area or Low pressure to our East. We could see gusts around 45 mph with sustained winds at 25-35 mph. With the optimal conditions for fire danger most of the Big Country is under a Red Flag Warning. Temperatures should only top out at upper 50’s today but may feel cooler with the North winds.
Tonight we already have in effect a Freeze Watch. This is because temperatures across the Big Country will dip down to at or below freezing with clear skies and much lighter winds. It is advised to take note now and make preparations for your plants and pets!
The rest of the week we should see temperatures stick in the mid 60’s with lows in the lower 40’s.
Have a great Wednesday!

Tuesday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We had a warm and windy day here in the Big Country. Highs were in the upper 70s to mid 80s. With windy conditions expected to continue tonight and into the day tomorrow, a wind advisory is in effect for every county in the viewing area expect Scurry, Mitchell, and Knox. Knox county is under a High Wind Warning. Everyone is under a Fire Weather Watch Wednesday except for Knox, Stephens, Eastland, and Comanche counties. All of this means that we will have strong sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts over 40 mph. With low relative humidity values expected, the fire danger will be elevated for tomorrow so please be careful.
A cold front will move through the area tonight and bring us much cooler temperatures for Wednesday. Highs look to be in the upper 50s to low 60s. It will feel colder than that thanks to strong northerly winds. Those strong winds will likely cause us to have more blowing dust and dirt in the area. Rain is not expected with the front due to a lack of moisture at the surface.
The winds should calm down Wednesday night. Combine that with little cloud cover and a dry airmass and you have optimal conditions for radiational cooling. It looks like everyone will be at or below freezing Wednesday night, so make preparations now for you pets and plants.
We will warm up into the mid to upper 60s on Thursday and Friday before another cold front arrives Friday night and cools us down a little bit for the weekend.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Warm today, Freezing tomorrow
Good Tuesday Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly… Summer is back for the day! Temperatures could top out around 80 degrees in most areas. Along with the warmth we will have a lot of wind. Gusts could be up 35-40 mph with sustained winds from 15-25 mph. Because of these conditions and a strengthening low pressure system there is a Red Flag Warning issued for Fisher, Nolan, Coke, Runnels, Haskell, Jones, and Taylor. This will take in effect at noon today and last till 6pm. This means that strong winds, warm temperatures, and low relative humidity will create fire potential growth.
Tonight a cold front will roll through and cool things off to the mid 40’s. We will still see plenty of wind with gusts again getting up to 40 mph under mostly clear skies. Tomorrow because of the cold front we will only warm things up to the upper 50’s with once again some winds gusting out of the North. Wednesday night we will get down to freezing in most places, so take precaution now and prepare to take in your plants and pets. We will warm up again Thursday and Friday but another cold front will roll through Friday night and cool us back down for the weekend.
Have a great Tuesday!

Monday Night Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We were a little cooler today thanks to a cold front that moved through the area early this morning. Highs today were in the upper 50s to upper 60s.
A low pressure system will develop to our north in Oklahoma tomorrow. This will cause strong southwesterly winds in the Big Country. Wind speeds are expected to be 20 to 30 mph. Most of the viewing area is under a Fire Weather Watch Tuesday thanks to this as well as low relative humidity values and warm temperatures. The counties not under this watch at this time are Scurry, Mitchell, Stonewall, Knox, Stephens, Eastland, and Comanche. Everyone in the region should be careful with the critical fire danger that is expected. Highs tomorrow look to be in the upper 70s to low 80s.
Just as we get used to the warm temperatures, a cold front will move through Tuesday night and cool us right back down for Wednesday. Winds will continue to be strong from the north at 20 to 30 mph. Highs look to only reach the upper 50s. Rain is not expected with the front due to a lack of moisture. It looks like everyone in the Big Country will be at or below freezing Wednesday night so go ahead and begin making preparations for your pets and plants.
A slight warm up will take place Thursday and Friday before another cold front arrives Friday night cooling us back down for the weekend. It doesn't look like we'll see any rain from this front either.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Cold front rolled through this morning!
Monday will start off cooler with a cold front passing this through the Big Country this morning. Temperatures should only reach the mid 60’s for highs with overnight lows just around 50. Partly cloudy skies will begin to clear out to Mostly Sunny but the winds should stick until the evening when it could become calm for a few hours. Overnight, again the winds should pick up once again. Our next cold front will pass Tuesday night but not before we warm things up to near 80 degrees during the day. With lots of Southwesterly winds brining in warm and dry air we will warm up to summer like temperatures. Gusts tomorrow could get up to 35 mph. However, the warmth will be hammered by cooler air associated with the cold front overnight. Lows will dip into the mid 40’s overnight Tuesday. Wednesday will be another mild day with highs reaching the lower 60’s and overnight lows dropping to just around freezing. If all factors pan out we could possible see the coldest night all season.
Gradually we will begin to warm up again. Highs Thursday will reach the upper 60’s with our weekend looking to be just around average temperatures for this time of year.
Sadly, no rain is in the forecast for the next 7 days.

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.
Have a wonderful weekend!

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!
