Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

A cold front moved through the Big Country this morning. Temperatures are continuing to cool down as cold air filters into the area. Some rain moved through with the front, but it was too dry at the surface to see anything significant. Another band of rain that was stretching from the Red River to the southern Texas panhandle earlier this morning continues to move towards the southeast. A light shower or some sprinkles can't be ruled out through the morning hours. Total amounts, if any, will be very light. Decreasing clouds are expected through the day, so mostly sunny skies should be seen by this afternoon. Highs will only be in the upper 50s to low 60s today. It will also be breezy with winds from the north-northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Tomorrow should be a nice day overall. Skies will likely be mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 60s. Winds should lighten up to about 5 to 10 mph from the north-northwest.

Warm and windy conditions are still looking good for Sunday. We'll likely see an elevated fire danger for that day, so extra caution will need to be taken to help prevent fires.

Another cold front is expected to arrive Sunday night. No rain is expected. The colder air behind this front looks to last a little longer. Temperatures for the first half of the work week will likely be at or below average for this time of year. It finally looks like we have some winter-like temperatures for the winter season.

Have a fantastic Friday!
