Wednesday Morning Update

From meteorologist Jason Myers....

Cooler temperatures will occur today across the Big Country due to a cold front that passed through yesterday. Currently, clouds are moving in keeping temperatures from warming up very fast. The cloud cover will really dictate how high the temperature rises today, yet today's highs should only reach the upper 60s. There will be lighter winds today from the west at 5-10 mph.

The gusty winds from yesterday were due to a low pressure system that was to our north, which is currently in the Mississippi Valley, allowing for the lighter winds today. With the dry conditions, please continue to use extreme caution with fire. Many fires broke out yesterday, while much of the Big Country was under a Red Flag Warning. Windy conditions look to occur again on Thursday meaning that Red Flag Warnings may be issued once again, however at this time there is no Red Flag Watch.

Mild and dry conditions will continue through the holiday weekend.
