Monday, 4:35 p.m. Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

After finally receiving some much needed rain across parts of the area, we were left with a cool, seasonal Monday. Highs only climbed into the middle to upper 50s. Overnight lows tonight will fall down to just below freezing, so this is a decent chance of frost across the area.

The best news of all, there are more rain chances in the forecast. There will be a slight chance of a few isolated showers across the Northern and Western viewing area Wednesday as a strong upper-level disturbance moves through the plains. If this system's path happens to shift a little farther to the South, the rest of the area could see showers. Right now though, things are looking more and more likely for us to only get mostly cloudy skies out of this system.

Later in the week, by Friday, another system will approach and possibly bring a few thunderstorms to our area. Right now I am only calling for a 30% chance of showers, but as we get a little closer to Friday, I'm hoping to be able to up that percentage.

All in all I am very happy with how our situation for winter is evolving. Right now it looks like we are in a much better pattern to continue to see systems get close enough to West Central Texas to bring us rain chances.
