Tuesday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

There is finally a little bit of good news for the next couple of days. A cold front arriving late tonight into tomorrow morning will bring afternoon highs closer to seasonal averages. With the arrival of the cooler air, relative humidity values will be rising. We won't necessarily be adding more mositure to the atmosphere, but we with the cooler temperatures the fire danger will decrease just a bit for the next few days.

There are still Red Flag Warnings active through 7pm tonight for the following counties in the KRBC viewing area: Knox, Haskell, Throckmorton, Fisher, Jones, Shackelford, Stephens, Nolan, Taylor, Callahan, Eastland, Sterling, Coke, Runnels, Coleman, Brown and Comanche.

We will see a couple of light freezes over the next few nights as well. Thursday morning and Friday morning will be those mornings. Remember to bring the pets in on those nights and use extra caution with heaters and space heaters. I would advise that you not use a space heater, just throw an extra blanket on the bed for those nights.

We will probably see another windy day Saturday, with increased fire danger as another upper level system passes to our North.

For now, I still do not forsee a chance of rain through the next 5 to 7 days. Please use extra caution while outdoors and remember that burn bans are still in effect across the area.
