Late Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

I apologize for the late update today. It has been a Monday full of meetings and construction. More on the construction over the next few weeks. I don't want to give too many details away. :-)

After a breezy a cool day across the Big Country today expect pleasant weather for your Tuesday. Winds will run about 5 to 10 miles per hour out of the West-Northwest and afternoon highs will struggle to reach 60 degress.

Unfortunately, this beautiful weather will only last for Tuesday. Another surface low pressure system will begin to form just North of the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles creating yet another tightening pressure gradient across the area. Wednesday winds will begin to increase out of the Southwest anywhere from 10 to 25 miles per hour. This will continue through the day Thursday as well. With the warmer, drier air filtering in from the Southwest, afternoon highs will climb back into the lower to middle 70s.

Another cold front will pass Thursday into Friday. This frontal system will bring temperatures back to near normal for Friday and Saturday.

Still no rain in the forecast unfortunately. But, we are watching a fairly decent amount of cold air building in extreme Northern Canada. I'm expecting this airmass to being to make a move South by the beginning of next week. By the end of next week, I would be surprised to see temperature below normal across the Big Country. It's still a little too far out to tell if there will be any chance for precipitation with this system, but at least it looks like we will see a break to the overall pattern we've been in for the past few weeks.
