10:00p.m. Update

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

Hold on to your hats... Another windy day across the Big Country Saturday. West-SouthWest winds will run from between 15 and 25 miles per hour through the day. Expect Red Flag Warnings across all of the area. The low relative humidity values, combined with dry grounds and strong winds will increase the threat of fires considerably.

By Saturday evening, a strong cold front will push through the area.

This cold front will bring afternoon high temperatures back down to below normal. We're talking maybe 50 for a high Sunday.

Expect a hard freeze Sunday night into Monday morning. In fact, we could be seeing overnight lows at or below freezing starting Sunday night and continuing each night for the next week.

An even stronger cold front will arrive early Wednesday. This cold airmass looks to hang around awhile as well. I don't expect high temperatures to climb out of the 30s Wednesday afternoon.

For now, it looks like we will remain dry through these next two fronts. Although some models were hinting at a slim chance of precipitation Wednesday, I think the best chances will be East and Southeast of the KRBC viewing area.

Please, go out and make it a SAFE & GREAT weekend!
