Monday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

A very pleasant start to the work-week across the Big Country today with high temperatures climbing into the upper 50s to lower 60s. Unfortunately, still no rain, and it looks like that could last for a while now.

We're getting back into an upper level pattern which will keep storm systems too far North of our area to allow for rain chances, but far enough South to allow for winds to pick up in between systems.

Right now it does not appear likely for rain chances through the next 5 to 7 days.

Fire Weather Watches are in effect across the Big Country through the day Tuesday with winds forecasted to run anywhere between 15 and 25 miles per hour.

We will see another cold front approach Thursday, which will once again increase fire danger across the area during the day.
