From Meteorologist Nathan Motz.....
Another cold front managed to pass through the area early this morning and much drier air has continued to filter into the area. Afternoon high temperatures have cooled a little since yesterday but still remain at or above seasonal averages in the mid to upper 50's.
Several more average days are in store for us here in the Big Country as morning lows in the mid 30's will give way to afternoon highs in the mid to upper 50's.
As we approach mid week, however, a more significant cold front will allow much colder air to move into west central Texas by Wednesday and Thursday. There will also be a slight chance of precipitation beginning on Wednesday night and lasting through Friday. Right now, it appears as if warm, moist air may overrun cooler air at the surface and cause a few showers to develop across mainly the northern and eastern Big Country.
Have a great weekend!!!

Cooler This Weekend
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off chilly this morning with lows mainly in the mid 20s to mid 30s. We warmed up nice this afternoon thanks to a dry airmass, mostly sunny skies and southwest winds. Highs were in the mid 60s to low 70s.
A cold front will move through the area tomorrow morning. This means cooler temperatures for us this weekend. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 50s Saturday and Sunday under partly cloudy skies. Due to a lack of moisture, this will be a dry frontal passage for us Saturday morning.
Monday and Tuesday should be dry with highs in the mid to upper 50s under partly cloudy skies.
Another cold front is expected to move through the area on Wednesday. This front looks to bring the coldest temperatures we have had in over a week. Highs for Wednesday through Friday of next week should be in the 40s. We may have enough moisture back in the area during this time period to see some precipitation. The chance is only slight right now, but that could change as we get closer to Wednesday. We are going to have to keep a close eye on the exact timing of some upper level disturbances for the second half of the work week. Temperatures will likely be at or below freezing overnight Wednesday and Thursday night. As always, we will keep you updated with the latest.
Have a super Saturday!

Friday Morning Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz....
Another cold start will once again give way to warmer than average conditions here in the Big Country. Afternoon highs will reach the mid 60's area wide with winds becoming a little breezy out of the south and west.
A cold front will move through the area tonight however, and bring with it cooler weather for Saturday and Saturday night. Temperatures will continue to bounce back and forth as cold fronts pass through followed by brief warm ups from now through the middle of next week.
Highs will reamin in the mid 50's to near 60 through at least Wednesday.
On Thursday, a cold front will move through the area and will bring enough upper level support with it to warrant a chance of showers on Thursday evening. This chance of rain will again be mostly for those in the eastern Big Country.
Have a great weekend!!!

Thursday Evening Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It was a bit of a chilly start today with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. A cold front moved through the area this morning so it was a bit cooler today with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Unfortunately once again we didn't see any rain out of this front due to a lack of moisture.
Friday looks pleasant with highs in mid to upper 60s under partly cloudy skies. It will be a bit breezy at times with winds from the southwest at 10 to 15 mph.
Another cold front is expected to move through the Big Country Saturday morning. This will bring cooler temperatures back to the region with highs in the mid to upper 50s. It doesn't look like we have enough moisture to support signifcant rain. A sprinkle can't be completely ruled out, but the chance is less than slight. That means it is less 10%.
Sunday looks dry with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s under partly cloudy skies.
A cold front looks to move through the area on Monday so the roller coaster ride of temperatures will continue. Highs will be in the low to mid 50s under partly cloudy skies. This frontal passage should also be a dry one for us.
Tuesday is expected to be a little warmer with highs in the mid to upper 50s.
Have a fantastic Friday!

Thursday Morning Forecast
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
It is a chilly morning across the Big Country with wind chills feeling like the lower 40's. A cold front is progressing through this morning beginning to switch our winds and that means a cooler afternoon will set up.
The cold front should be through by 8 am with high pressure building in behind it. Plenty of sunshine may make it feel mild but highs will only reach to the around 60. Overnight calmer winds and clear skies will mean lows dropping to the lower 30's.
Tomorrow will be another quiet day with lower 60's and lows in the lower 30's. Saturday the next front makes its punch and drops highs to the mid 50's and lows in the lower 30's. Unfortunately this will be another dry passage for our area.
Another front may brace our area come Monday but shouldn’t bring much drop in temperatures. The rest of the week temperatures will stay with highs in the 50's and lows around freezing.
Have a great day!

Wednesday Evening Update
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We started off cold this morning with temperatures in the mid to upper 20s across the area. Thanks to breezy south-southwest winds we were able to warm up nicely this afternoon with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.
A cold front is expected to move through the region tomorrow morning bringing cooler temperatures back for us. Highs should be in the upper 50s to low 60s. Unfortunately we don't have enough moisture in the area to support rain so it will be a dry frontal passage. Winds for Thursday will be from the north-northwest at 10 to 20 mph.
Friday looks dry with highs in the low to mid 60s under mostly cloudy skies.
Another cold front should move through the Big Country Saturday morning bringing cooler temperatures back once again. This will also be a dry frontal passage due to a lack of moisture. Highs look to be in the mid 50s under mostly sunny skies.
Sunday will be cool with highs in the mid 50s as well.
We may see a weak cold front move through the region on Monday. This will cool temperatures a little bit with highs in the low 50s. There is a slight chance of rain right now, but that could change depending on the amount of moisture that is expected to be in the area at that time.
Have a terrific Thursday!

Cold Start, Warm Afternoon
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
We saw a cool start to the work week with a front rolling through in the early hours of the day. Temperatures made it up to seasonable highs in the mid 50's. Overnight we have cooled down significantly with clear skies and lighter winds allowing those temperatures to drop.
As you head out bundle up and grab some hot coffee but wear the layers as this afternoon we will warm back up to the lower 60's. High pressure will be the main player today allowing us to see plenty of sunshine. Off to our west a trough is developing which will keep the west Texas winds blowing with gusts over 20 mph. Tonight begins repeated front rolling through over the next several days.
One front will come through in the early hours of Thursday this will actually keep our temperatures a little more mild as the winds stay gusty. Temperatures will stay consecutive with lower 60's and lows in the mid 30's. This weekend another front pushes on through ay and drops our temperatures just a bit in the mid 50's. The real cool air doesn’t arrive until early next week were highs will only be in the upper 40's.
Have a great day!

A Mini-Roller Coaster Ride Ahead
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It was much cooler around the area today thanks to a cold front that moved through this morning. Highs were mainly in the mid to upper 50s. Unfortunately we didn't see any rain with the front. Our rainfall deficit for 2008 is already over a quarter of an inch at Abilene Regional Airport. It is not out of the ordinary for us to be dry in January as it is our driest month on average for precipitation.
Tomorrow should be warmer and breezy with highs in the low to mid 60s under partly cloudy skies.
A cold front looks to move through the area Thursday morning bringing slightly cooler temperatures for us. Highs will be in the upper 50s to low 60s. With moisture being limited, this is likely going to be another dry frontal passage.
We warm up a bit on Friday with highs in the low to mid 60s under mostly sunny skies.
Another cold front is expected to move through the region Saturday morning. There is a slight chance of rain with this front. We will only see the rain though if we get enough moisture built back into the Big Country before its arrival. Highs should be in the low to mid 50s.
Sunday looks dry with highs in the low 50s under partly cloudy skies.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Tuesday Brings Cooler Air
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
We saw a beautiful start to the second week in January but overnight a cold front began its march toward the Big Country. The cold front was just to our north in the early morning hours but a pre frontal trough brought a few showers in Comanche county.
The cold front will roll through by the morning commute and keep temperatures cooler to kick of Tuesday. Along with that the moisture will again be pushed out and drier air takes back over. Plenty of sunshine will help to make it feel warmer although temperatures won’t break out of upper 50's to low 60’s. Overnight we will see a cold night return with temperatures in the lower 30's.
The rest of the week a high pressure takes hold until the next front pushes through. We will see a mostly sunny sky with temperatures in the lower 60's and lows in the mid 30's. Into the weekend the next front will drop highs to the lower 50's and lows around 30. Another front by late weekend will bring a slight chance of precipitation Saturday night into Sunday.
Have a great day!

Cooler Temperatures Are On The Way
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We once again had above average temperatures this afternoon. Highs were mainly in the low to mid 70s which is about 20 degrees above average for this time of year. Breezy south-southwesterly winds were felt from mid-morning to mid-afternoon.
The breezy conditions will stick around tomorrow, but they will be from a different direction. A cold front should move through during the morning hours shifting our winds to the north-northwest. Much cooler temperatures are expected with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. It doesn't look like we will have any rain from the front. The chance of precipitation is less than slight and will mainly be for the eastern portions of the viewing area.
Wednesday should be a little warmer with highs in the mid 60s under partly cloudy skies.
A second cold front is expected to move through the region on Thursday. This will cool us down a little bit with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s under partly cloudy skies. It looks like this will be a dry frontal passage for our area.
We go back up the temperature roller coaster ride again on Friday with highs in the low to mid 60s with mostly sunny skies.
Yet another cold front is expected to move through the Big Country on Saturday. This will likely bring us the coldest air of the week with highs in the low 50s for the weekend. There is a slight chance of precipitaiton on Saturday due to the front and upper level disturbance moving through the area.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Warm Start to the Week
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
We saw a warm and beautiful weekend despite some windy conditions across the area. Temperatures felt more like fall then the beginning of January. I hope you all enjoyed our trip back to warmer temperatures because come tonight that will be changing.
This morning temperatures are very mild starting mainly in the 50's. We also have something that you may feel when you step out the door- humidity. A bit of cloud cover is covering mainly Abilene eastward but that should burn off with scattered clouds in the afternoon. It will be another above average day as temperatures rise to the lower 70's. This evening our next front makes it shove through the Big Country. With it temperatures will drop to the mid 40's. This system could produce a few showers in our southeastern counties with the rest of us staying dry.
Behind the front we will see just a few clouds and temperatures for the next few days in the lower 60's with lows in the mid 30's.
By the weekend another colder front makes its impact with temperatures dropping to highs in the low 50's and lows in the lower 30's.
Have a great week!

Sunday Evening Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz....
Another warm day today in west central Texas with highs again reaching the mid to upper 70's. Tonight, temperatures will again be mild with lows in the mid 50's. For tomorrow, it will be more of the same but a cool down will be expected tomorrow night which will last for much of the upcoming week.
A series of cold fronts will move through the area beginning tomorrow night. These fronts will hold afternoon highs in the vicinity of the 60 degree mark until this weekend when a stronger front will move through causing highs to fall into the lower 50's.
Overnight lows will remain seasonal in the mid 30's throughout the upcoming week. Chances for precipitation will be slight but it is possible for a few showers to pop up in the eastern Big Country late tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night.
Another chance of rain will accompany a cold front moving through the area next Saturday as well.
Have a great start to your week!!!

Warm and Windy....For Now
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
We had another warm and windy day here in the Big Country with highs in the mid 70s to low 80s. That is about 20 to 25 degrees above average for this time of year. Winds were from the south-southwest at 20 to 25 mph with higher gusts.
Sunday will be very similar to today with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. The record high at Abilene Regional Airport for tomorrow's date is 83 set back in 1927 so we will be close to record warmth. Winds should be from the south-southwest at 15 to 25 mph.
The work and school week looks to start warm with highs in the mid to upper 70s. A cold front is expected to move through the area during the evening and overnight hours. Rain chances are less than slight for us. The better dynamics for rain will likely be too far to the north with the best moisture too far to the east. A less than slight chance means less than 10%, so this will probably be a dry frontal passage for us.
Tuesday will be much cooler with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s under mostly sunny skies.
Wednesday should be a little warmer with highs in the mid 60s under partly cloudy skies.
Another cold front looks to move through the area late Wednesday into early Thursday. This will cool us down a bit for Thursday with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
A secondary shot of cold air arrives late Friday with highs for the end of the work week in the mid to upper 50s.
The coldest air of next week, for now, looks to be next weekend with highs in the mid to upper 40s.
Have a spectacular Sunday!

A Warm and Windy Weekend Ahead
From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...
It was a chilly start to the day with temperatures in the mid 30s to low 40s. This afternoon was warmer, windy and mostly cloudy. Highs were in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Warm and windy conditions are expected for Saturday and Sunday. Highs look to be in the mid 70s under partly cloudy skies. Winds will be from the south-southwest at 15 to 25 mph. Even though we have had moisture return to the area, there will still be an elevated fire danger this weekend.
A cold front should move through the area late Monday. This will bring much cooler temperatures to the area and a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday night. Highs look to be in the low 70s for the start of the work week.
We may see a linger shower or two early Tuesday morning. After that we can expect partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid to upper 50s.
Wednesday and Thursday look to be dry with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Have a super Saturday!

A Warm Weekend In Store
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly....
It was a breezy but warmer day yesterday as we finally made it into the 50's. Another cooler morning is on store as temperatures stay around 40 degrees. The real kicker is that the winds are going to stick around the next few days so the wind chills this morning still make it feel quite cool.
Today we still sunshine with scattered clouds as some moisture returns to the area. Winds will be a key factor as they gusts over 30 mph and thrust temperatures rising to the low 60's. Overnight thanks to the winds we should keep our lows around 50.
This weekend will be a windy one as winds continue through Sunday. The good news is we are going to warm up. High will be in the mid 70's with lows in the lower 50's.
As a front approaches on Monday night a slight chance of rain and cooler temperatures return to the forecast, Highs will drop back to the 60's and lows in the upper 30's.
Enjoy your weekend and have a wonderful day!

We started off cold this morning with temperatures right at or just below freezing. A quick moving upper level disturbance caused some light rain for part of the area early this morning. This did lead to some slick spots in a few locations. By this afternoon, we had warmed up into the low 50s which is a little below average for this time of year.
Well above average temperatures and windy conditions are expected Friday through Monday. Highs tomorrow look to be in the low to mid 60s and then warm into the low to mid 70s for this weekend and early next week.
A cold front should move through the region late Monday. This will lead to a slight chance of rain for us Monday afternoon. That chance increases to 20% Monday night and early Tuesday. Cooler air looks to be in place starting Tuesday with highs in the mid 50s.
Wednesday and next Thursday are expected to be cool and dry with highs in the mid to upper 50s.
Have a fantastic Friday!

The Warm Up Begins
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
2008 will be known for coming in with a cold streak. We hit the coldest temperatures in the Big Country that we have seen since back in December of 2005. The good news- it is warming up. Temperatures this morning are in the low 30's thanks to southerly winds and cloud cover due to a disturbance moving over head in the upper levels. This system is causing a blanket of mid and upper level clouds as well as precipitation in the upper levels. A few sprinkles are making to the ground but with the dry air at the surface almost all activity evaporates before it hits the ground.
This system will continue to push east and most of the cloud cover moves along giving way to plenty of sunshine with a few clouds through the day. As the jet stream is now pushed north a warming trend will continue through the weekend. We will deal with one drier day but moisture should begin its return into the weekend. Highs today rebound to more seasonable like making it into the mid 50's. Overnight we will get down to upper 30’s.
This weekend partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures hitting around 70 will persist with high pressure the main player. Overnight lows will be around 50.
Early next week another front rolls through knocking back temperatures and brining our first chance of rain into 2008.
Have a great day!

Wednesday Evening Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz.....
After a very cold night last night with temperatures falling well into the teens, all of us in the Big Country will see slightly warmer temperatures in the mid 20's for tonight.
The coldest weather for this week is behind us however, as warmer temperatures will be expected for tomorrow through the weekend and into early next week.
Although the cold weather will not stay with us for much longer, the dry weather will last at least until the early to middle part of next week. By Monday night and into Tuesday, an upper level storm system will move close enough to us to bring in moisture from the Gulf and warrant at least a slight chance of showers.
Temperatures will remain in the low 70's throughout the weekend and into Monday before another cool down takes place on Tuesday.
Have a great day!!!

A Cold Wednesday Morning
Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...
We saw a cold start to the 2008 year as temperatures dropped into the teens. Yesterday there was plenty of sunshine with a dry air mass in place but the highs only made it into the upper 40's. With the winds blowing it continued to feel chilly even during the afternoon.
It is another bitterly cold morning, bundle up because temperatures are in the teens with the winds making it feel even colder. You may want to start the car a few minutes early as it will take a while to heat up on your way to work. Highs today will only reach the mid to upper 40’s with a few high clouds. Tonight we will warm up into the 20's as the winds begin to switch out of the southeast .
As a high pressure pushes east our winds will stay out of the southeast into the weekend. This will mean moisture and warmer air returning to the Big Country. Highs gradually increase to the 60's by the weekend. Lows will go from 20's tonight to 40's for the weekend.
Early next week a disturbance may cause a few showers Monday night into Tuesday. Since we just started a new year we are in a deficit but we did end 2007 with 12 inches in the rain bucket.
Have a great day!

Tuesday Evening Update
From Meteorologist Nathan Motz....
After a very cold start to the New Year last night, temperatures tonight will be even colder. Surface high pressure continues to build in bringing cold and very dry air south into west central Texas. Tomorrow, afternoon high temperatures will be fairly cool as well but a warming trend will begin starting on Thursday which will last through the weekend.
No significant chance for any rainfall will be in the forecast throughout the next seven days as drier air continues to remain over the area. Until the Gulf of Mexico opens up and allows deeper moisture to return northward, chances for rain will remain slim to nil across the Big Country.
Have a great Wednesday!!!
