Pleasant Weather To Start The New Week:
Good Morning From Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* As I write this about 20 minutes until 4:00 AM... Abilene Regional Airport sits at 39 degrees which ties the record low for this day of 39 from back in 1997. It is a pretty safe bet this record will fall this morning, as will the temperatures another few degrees...
* Sunny and pleasant weather for all of West Texas today as an area of high pressure sits over the Big Bend region. The weather looks quiet for the week. A cold front will drop southward the next few days but the model runs show this front running out of gas along the Red River and slowly falling apart thanks to the high pressure that will drift across south Texas and keep the front stuck to the north.
Today: Sunny & Warmer

YOU ARE URGED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER CLOSELY SATURDAY NIGHT FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE STORMS. THE COLD FRONT WILL ALSO BRING A FEEL OF FALL-LIKE WEATHER SUNDAY AS HIGHS DROP BACK INTO THE 60'S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS DROP INTO THE LOW 40'S.
FRIDAY NIGHT: CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY, LOW NEAR 52. EAST WIND 5 TO 15.
SATURDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY, HIGH 77, SOUTHEAST WIND 15 TO 25 AND GUSTY IN THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT A FEW LATE DAY STORMS, SOME SEVERE, BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS SATURDAY NIGHT.

Storm Chances This Weekend:
Good Morning From Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* A cold front will move into the area today and bring slightly cooler air to West Central Texas. The front may kick off a few storms that could be strong in our eastern and southeastern counties this afternoon... mainly along a line from Eastland to Santa Anna to Brady and points eastward. Highs will be back into the lower to middle 80s today. Lows tonight will be cooler as well into the middle 50s.
* Quiet weather for most of Saturday with highs in the middle to upper 70s. The front that moves through on Friday will stall in South Texas and lift northward as a warm front and interact with a storm system moving into West Texas and kick off a good chance for thunderstorms Saturday night and into Sunday. The best severe weather threat looks to be centered over the Concho Valley, but the slight risk of severe weather runs roughly along and South of US 180 in the Big Country and south into the heart of West Central Texas.
Today: Partly Cloudy, Breezy & Slightly Cooler.

MORE CHANCES FOR STORMS
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
THE STORMS STAYED AWAY TODAY BUT THEY ARE STILL IN THE FORECAST FOR LATE FRIDAY, LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT THANKS TO TWO COLD FRONTS COMING OUR WAY.
HIGHS TODAY TOUCHED 90 ALL AROUND THE AREA BUT WE SHOULD SEE 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER ON FRIDAY THANKS TO A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. AS IT DOES SO IN THE AFTERNOON, AREAS MAINLY EAST AND SOUTH OF ABILENE STAND A CHANCE TO SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP, STORMS WHICH COULD BE SEVERE.
ON THE HEELS OF THE FIRST FRONT IS ANOTHER FRONT LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. THAT FRONT HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF CAUSING STORMS AND RAIN ACROSS THE KRBC VIEWING AREA. AS ALWAYS THIS TIME OF YEAR, ANY STORM WHICH DEVELOPS MAY BECOME SEVERE.
ONCE THE RAIN MOVES EAST ON SUNDAY, WE SHOULD SEE A DRIER PATTERN WITH SLOWLY WARMING TEMPERATURES EARLY NEXT WEEK. SPEAKING OF TEMPERATURES, DOWNRIGHT COOL FEELING SUNDAY IN THE UPPER 60'S WHICH IS WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
TONIGHT: AN ISOLATED STORM, OTHERWISE CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY, LOW OF 62. SOUTH WIND 15 TO 20.
FRIDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY WITH A COLD FRONT ARRIVING. HIGH AROUND 80 WITH A 20% CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON STORMS.
FRIDAY NIGHT: PARTLY CLOUDY AND COOL, LOW 50'S, AN ISOLATED STORM POSSIBLE.
SATURDAY: MOST OF THE DAY PARTLY CLOUDY AND WARM BUT LATE DAY AND INTO SATURDAY NIGHT LOOK FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE AROUND THE AREA. HIGH SATURDAY NEAR 80.
SUNDAY: COOLER WITH MORNING SHOWERS, HIGHS MID TO UPPER 60'S SUNDAY.

Warmer Today, Rain Chances Return:
Good Morning From Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Areas that saw rain on Wednesday picked up a good soaking. Abilene officially picked up 1.31" of rain, while Doppler Radar estimates show that areas along US 180 from the Snyder to Breckenridge corridor picked up 2 to 3 inches of rain.
* Expect much warmer weather today as breezy southwesterly winds will impact the area today. The dryline will mix into our the western portions of the Big County this afternoon and could kick off a very isolated storm ahead of the dryline... mainly from about a Haskell to Abilene to Ballinger and points eastward line. Highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s today and lows tonight in the low to middle 60s.
* Another cold front will push across the area on Friday and will help kick off a few thunderstorms. Severe weather threat looks low, with the best chance of severe storms east of our area. Another storm system will impact West Texas on Sunday. There is a slight risk of severe weather outlined by the SPC for West Central Texas on Sunday for this event.

Strong to Severe Storms Today & Tonight:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Severe thunderstorms are likely across the Big County, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley today and tonight as both a dryline and an upper level storm system move into West Central Texas. Given the instability and wind shear likely, storms that do develop may quickly reach severe levels. Although all of West Central Texas will see a threat of severe storms, there is an enhanced threat area along and north of a San Angelo to Brownwood line or roughly along and north of US 67. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main threat. However, especially in the enhanced threat area, there will be the potential for very large hail perhaps golfball to baseball size and isolated tornadoes as well.
* KRBC Forecast:
Today: Mostly Cloudy with Scattered T-Storms. Some Storms Severe
Highs: 80-83
Wind: SE 15-25
Rain Chance: 40%
Severe Weather Threat: Slight (SPC Outlook)
Tonight: Showers & T-Storms. Some Storms Severe

Slight Risk for Severe T-Storms Wednesday
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ...
TEMPERATURES SOARED ONCE AGAIN TODAY MAKING IT FEEL MORE LIKE SUMMER THAN SPRING. ALL SIGNS STILL POINT TO SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
I'LL PUT THE RAIN CHANCE AT 40% WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT, BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY SHOT AT RAIN IN MY SEVEN DAY FORECAST.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND BY FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY, IT IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE AT LEAST A FEW THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA. I'LL LEAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS IN THE FORECAST ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS WELL.
AS FAR SEVERE WEATHER, THE KRBC VIEWING AREA IS INCLUDED IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING. IT APPEARS THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY, AREAS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20, STAND THE BEST CHANCE TO SEE MORE STORMS WHICH WOULD MORE LIKELY BECOME SEVERE SO WE'LL WATCH THAT FOR YOU CLOSELY ON WEDNESDAY.
TONIGHT: TURNING CLOUDY WITH AN ISOLATED STORM POSSIBLE BY MORNING, LOW OF 67.
WEDNESDAY: MAINLY CLOUDY WITH A 40% CHANCE FOR STORMS, HIGH NEAR 80. SOME STORMS COULD BE SEVERE.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: CLOUDY, 40% CHANCE FOR STORMS, LOW NEAR 64.
THURSDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY AND WARM, NEAR 90 AGAIN.
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS FRIDAY WITH A 30% CHANCE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

One More Warm Day... Rain Chances Return:
Good Tuesday Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* One more warm and humid day across West Central Texas before changes take place. Highs again will approach and exceed 90 in the area today as the dryline mixes into our western counties and humid conditions continue across the rest of the Big County, Heartland, and Concho Valley.
* There is an islolated chance for a storm today and tonight, but the best chance will come on Wednesday as a weak cold front will push southward and give lift to the very moist and humid air across our area to get a few showers and thunderstorms going. The cap is holding decently, but I think the front will give enough lift to get a few storms developing. It will be "cooler" on Wednesday with highs back into the lower 80s.
* Isolated rain chances will continue to at least Saturday with highs remaining in the 80s and overnight lows in the upper 50s and 60s.
Today: Morning Clouds, then Partly Cloudy & Warm, Isolated Storms
Highs: 89-91
Wind: SW/SE 10-15
Rain Chance: 10%
Tonight: Mostly Cloudy with Isolated Thunderstorms
Low: 64-66
Wind: SW 5-15
Rain Chance: 20%
Wednesday: Mostly Cloudy, Scattered Storms, Some Could Be Severe
High: 80-83
Wind: SW 15-20
Rain Chance: 40%
Severe Weather Risk: Slight (SPC Outlook)
Have a great Tuesday...

Nice & Warm To Start The Week...
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Not much happening in the forecast the next few days other than the heat. Low clouds have developed to our south this morning and will drift north so expect overcast for a while this morning then as we get into the late morning the sky becoming partly cloudy. Although the dryline will be situated across our western counties, the cap should hold so I don't expect any storms. Highs the next two days will be in the lower 90s and overnight lows will be in the lower 60s.
* Rain chances return by mid-week as a couple of disturbances make their way into West Texas. It looks as if Wednesday is the best shot for rain, while the end of the week looks to be only slight chances.
Today: Morning Clouds, then Partly Cloudy & Warm
High: 91
Wind: SW 10-15
Tonight: Mostly Clear, A Few Clouds By Daybreak
Low: 62
Wind: S 5-15
Tueday: Partly Cloudy & Warm
High: 92
Wind: SW 15-20

Dry & Slightly Cooler Friday:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
Quiet weather this morning across West Texas as high pressure has built in behind the front that passed through last night. As I write this, temperatures at 5:00 AM are ranging from 37 in Synder to 46 in Brownwood. Dry and cool airmass in place so highs today will be cooler and another cool night in store.
A warming trend will back in store over the weekend with highs climbing into the upper 80s and lower 90s into early next week. The dryline will make its way back and forth across the area over the weekend so an isolated storm could pop... but for now I will keep things dry. The next changes of rain (about 20%) come at the middle of the week.
Today: Sunny & Slightly Cooler
High: 75
Wind: NW 5-15
Tonight: Clear & Chilly
Low: 48
Wind: SW 10-15
Saturday: Sunny & Warmer
High: 83
Wind: SW 15-25
Have a great weekend...

The Wind Machine Works Overtime
FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..
I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND HAVE HAD ALL THE WIND I WANT. HOWEVER, THE PERSISTENT GUSTY WIND WON'T BE GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE ROCKIES IS CAUSING OUR WIND TO GUST BUT THE SAME SYSTEM WILL ALSO SEND A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH, YOU GUESSED IT, EVEN MORE GUSTY WIND, ONLY FROM A NORTHERLY DIRECTION.
CAN THE FRONT CAUSE ANY STORMS? POSSIBLY, BUT A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES OF THE KRBC VIEWING AREA - TOWNS LIKE THROCKMORTON, BRECKENRIDGE, CISCO, EASTLAND, COLEMAN, BROWNWOOD AND COMANCHE MAY SEE AN ISOLATED STORM LATE DAY THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT.
AFTER THAT, WARM, SUNNY AND DRY WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND!
