All in all a pleasant weekend...

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

After a cool start across the Big Country we certainly warmed up in a hurry. Afternoon highs climbed back into the upper 70s to lower 80s thanks to a strong southerly flow.

Here's some good news, rain chances are still in the forecast. As we watch a strong upper level system work its way into the central plains, we should see enough upper level energy round the bottom of the trough to bring us at least a couple of isolated thunderstorms. I'm not worried too much about severe storms, but a couple of strong storms will be possible.

The rain chances will end by afternoon Saturday. Then we will see a weak cold front pass through early Sunday. This will knock our afternoon highs back down to the middle 70s for Sunday and Monday.

Then, our frist true arctic cold front of the season will arrive early Tuesday. This system will make Tuesday a very cold day.

As the arcitic high pressure ridge builds in overnight after the front passes, it looks like we will see our first freeze of the season Wednesday morning.

This front, like previous ones, should pass through dry, but much colder.
