Monday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

After a warm weekend, it looks like we will begin the work week with much cooler temperatures. A cold front is making it's way across the Big Country this morning and should clear the southern portions of the viewing area by early this afternoon. Highs today will reach the upper 50s to low 60s, which is still a little above average for this time of year. Breezy conditions are expected with winds from the south ahead of the front shifting to the north behind it. Sustained winds look to be about 10 to 20 mph with some higher gusts likely with the frontal passage. There is an elevated fire danger today because of the breezy conditions. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Stephens, Eastland, and Comanche counties.

You might want to bring the pets in tonight. It looks we'll have cold temperatures with lows in the upper 20s to low 30s.

Tomorrow should be nice with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 50s. The good news is that winds are expected to be light from the west-northwest.

The lighter winds look to be short lived as windy conditions are expected for Wednesday and Thursday. It should also be warm with highs in the low to mid 70s both days.

A cold front is expected to arrive early Friday cooling us back down into the upper 50s for highs. The bad news is that this looks to be another dry frontal passage. As of right now, we'll be dry through at least the end of this week. Please continue to use all precautions when you are outside. With a dry ground and breezy conditions, it doesn't take much for a fire to start and get out of control quickly.

Have a magnificent Monday!
