MORE SUNSHINE FOR ELECTION DAY?

Updated at 8:30 am, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
by KTXS Meteorologist Chad Garneau

What a surprise...it looks like clouds will be coming in for the work week.  In the last half hour, we have watched temperatures cool off enough for low clouds to form over parts of Abilene and Sweetwater.  These clouds were not originally in the forecast but they're obviously here.  Based on the latest weather data, these clouds will not be in town for very long. 

We should be sunny by the lunch hour and well into the afternoon.  Temperatures by then will approach the upper 60's and lower 70's with light winds from the north.

Tonight we'll cool off to the upper 40's with a crystal clear sky above and calm winds down below.

Tomorrow, we do not anticipate a repeat performance from Mother Nature.  We expect no clouds at all and sunshine to dominate the sky again.  High's for Wednesday will be warmer in the mid 70's.

We'll keep seeing the sunshine all week long.  Eventually the weather pattern will begin to change early next week as a ridge breaks down and an upper level trough comes in from the west.  This change in the flow should lead to a small chance of rain and cooler temperatures.

That is it from the weather center.  Have a wonderful day and DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!!

FALL OUTLOOK

    6-10 day outlook:  Upper level flow changes heading into next week.  We'll see a ridge move east and be replaced with an upper level trough. If all goes according to plan, this event should lead us to see a cold front by next Monday.  Temperatures will obviously slip down early next week with thermometers possibly reaching the 50's and 60's.  Rain looks unlikely at this point.

Updated, Nov 1st by KTXS Meteorologist Danielle Dozier:

 8-14 day outlook:  Temperatures will stay near normal (low 70's) and rainfall will stay below normal.

FALL/WINTER 2009 PREVIEW:  El Nino is expected to persist through the winter months. Conditions appear favorable for wetter and cooler conditions.


DROUGHT OUTLOOK: The latest drought monitor shows the Big Country is drought-free!
