Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off chilly this morning with temperatures in the low to mid 30s across the viewing area. A nice warm-up is on tap for today with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. That's going to be about 20 degrees cooler than yesterday. Winds will be lighter from the north-northwest at 5 to 15 mph. There is a Red Flag Warning for Stephens, Eastland, and Comanche counties until 6 p.m. this evening.

We'll experience a warming trend this weekend with highs in the mid 60s to low 70s. Breezy conditions are expected on Saturday. Sunday looks to be windy. We need to continue to be careful and take the necessary precautions in order to prevent fires.

A cold front should arrive Sunday night. Temperatures will cool down into the low 60s for highs on Monday, which is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The good news is that there is a chance of a shower or thunderstorm Sunday night and Monday. The bad news is that it is only a slight chance of rain. As of right now, it looks like the better moisture and dynamics will be in east Texas.

Another cold front arrives Monday night and actually brings temperatures down a little below average for this time of year.

Have a fantastic Friday!
