From Meteorologist Jason Myers......

After a record high of 87 degrees, big changes are on the way with temperatures. Currently, a cold front is moving through the Big Country changing the winds to the north, and bringing cold, Canadian air with it. Overnight low temperatures will range from 31 degrees in Haskell, Snyder, and the northern Big Country, to 33 degrees in Abilene and Eastland; the Brownwood, Ballinger, and the southern Big Country will see low temperatures drop to 34 degrees.
Sunday, patchy clouds and cold air will keep high temperatures chilly, with a high of 47 degrees. Sunday night into Wednesday night low temperatures will all be at or below freezing. Temperatures Monday and Tuesday will be in the low to mid 50s.
An even stronger cold front will move through Tuesday afternoon and evening bringing the coldest temperatures we've seen in West Central Texas for the season.
With cloudy skies, HIGH temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday will stay in the 30s with a high of 39 and 37, respectively.

On an interesting note, Hurricane Epsilon has sustained winds at 80 mph with a movement to the east at 12 mph. Hurricane Epsilon will not effect any part of the U.S. and is meandering in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Epsilon should begin to weaken tonight and over the next couple of days as it moves over colder water.

Enjoy your weekend and have your winter coat, gloves, and hat before going outside this week.
