Monday Morning Update

From meteorologist Jason Myers.....

A pleasant day to be outdoors today. With highs in the lower 70s across much of the Big Country and mostly sunny skies, it will be a very nice day to be outdoors. Winds will be lighter from yesterday's wind gusts that were near 50 mph at times; today we'll see west-northwest winds from 5 - 10 mph. Yesterday's high temperature tied our record high, by reaching 82 degrees. Today will be about 10 degrees cooler because of a cold front that has passed through bringing cooler air along with it.
Winds on Tuesday will increase from the southwest at 10 - 20 mph. Temperatures will also increase into the upper 70s as an approaching cold front works through the Big County.
Wednesday through Friday the high temperatures become a little cooler due to the cold front passing late Tuesday into early Wednesday; highs will stay in the upper 60s for Wednesday and lower 60s for Thursday and Friday.
No rain is forecasted for the first week of 2006 keeping burn bans in effect. Extreme caution needs to be taken outdoors by not burning anything, no outdoor grilling, and no throwing of cigarettes outside, to name a few.

Enjoy the pleasant weather today!
