Frost Advisory 5 AM - 10 AM.......Wilma Update

From meteorologist Jason Myers.......

Sunday has been a chilly day with temperatures that barely reached the mid-50s around noontime, before falling in the afternoon to the upper 40s. The chilly temperatures are all thanks to a strong cold front that brought cold, Candian air along with gusty winds. Wind gusts at times were up to 35 mph this afternoon, bringing about a Lake Wind Advisory during Sunday afternoon. When you combine the wind and temperature, that's when you get the wind chill, which is what the temperature actually feels like on your skin....wind chill values have been in the upper 30s at times this afternoon!

There is a Frost Advisory from 5 AM to 10 AM due to the possibility of patchy frost, the first of the season. With skies beginning to clear, cold, dry air in place, and winds becoming light, temperatures will drop into the low to mid 30s across the Big Country. If you have any sensitive outdoor plants, then action needs to be taken to protect them. You'll also want to think about any outdoor pets and make sure they have a warm bed tonight. Before the kids head off to school and you head to work tomorrow, make sure to have a coat, something for your head, and some gloves. Temperatures on Monday will only warm into the low to mid 60s, so it will be cool day.

The sun will be back Monday through Wednesday as high pressure builds into Texas. However, rain chances return for Thursday and Friday. High temperatures will range from the lower 60s to lower 70s this week.

Hurricane Wilma looks to make landfall in southwest Florida, Monday morning as a category 2 Hurricane. Winds at this time are 105 mph with a northeast movement at 14 mph. Florida is already under a tornado watch until 1 AM, meaning that conditions are favorable for tornadic development overnight. Wilma should quickly leave Florida as a cold front moves through.

Tropcial Depression Alpha has decreased in wind speed to 35 mph, moving NNW at 18 mph. T.D. Alpha like Brandon mentioned earlier, set a new record being the 22nd named storm, and the first time we've ever used the Greek Alphabet to name a tropical storm. Alpha should get absorbed with Wilma on Tuesday and dissipate. Now that it is back over water, winds may intensify back up to tropical storm status.

We'll keep you updated with the latest.
