Winter Has Returned

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

After blustery day across the Big Country today, a bitterly cold night is on tap. Overnight lows will crater down into the middle to upper teens to the low 20s.

Sunday will be another breezy day, first with winds from the Southwest, then shift to the North-Northwest with the passage of another cold front. Highs will be able to climb into the middle to upper 50s before the front arrives.

Monday through Thursday will bring us much warmer temperatures and unfortunately dry and breezy conditions. Highs will climb from the low 60s Monday into the middle 70s by Thursday. With the breezy conditions expected, fire danger will be high next week.

The next big change on the horizon will be as we enter next weekend. Another strong cold front will push through the Big Country Thursday into Friday. This front will knock temperatures down into the low 40s at least. This system, unlike previous systems, looks like it will carry moisture with it, and we could see chance for rain, or even sleet and snow Friday night. Stay tuned because as we get closer to next weekend, we will have a much better handle on how things will turn out.
