Temps tonight will be a bit warmer than the past 2 nights but will still be on the chilly side, w/ lows in the 20s. There's a very low chance for freezing drizzle overnight in the NW Hill Country, better chances for winter weather will be to the SE of our forecast area. #txwx

What does NOAA do?

[NWSSanAngelo @NWSSanAngelo]

We have just a few more days of these very above-normal temps before a cold front moves through on Sunday & brings much cooler conditions. Highs on Sunday will be ~30 degrees cooler than Saturday for the Big Country & ~10 to 20 degrees cooler for areas further south. #sjtwx #txwx

We are aware of a problem with the temperature sensor at Abilene airport today. It is showing a high temperature near 90 degrees, which is much too warm compared to nearby weather stations. #sjtwx #txwx

[Angela Dennis ✍🏽 @AngelaDWrites]

The Tuskegee Airmen were far more than a diversity and inclusion initiative; they were a testament to excellence and determination in the face of systemic racism. These men were not included in the U.S. military as a gesture of equity—they had to fight for the opportunity to prove themselves as some of the most highly qualified and skilled pilots in history. Under the oppressive Jim Crow laws, they underwent rigorous training at Tuskegee Army Air Field, earning their wings not because they were given a seat at the table but because they demanded it through merit and perseverance. Their service was not about representation for its own sake but about breaking barriers through undeniable skill and performance. These brave men changed the trajectory of our nation not by fulfilling quotas, but by excelling in their missions and demonstrating their value on and off the battlefield. @BlackNoChaser @BeBlackNoChaser
