Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a cold morning across the Big Country today as temperatures bottomed out in the mid to upper 20s. There was quite a bit of frost on vehicles, so if you left it uncovered last night you probably had to spend a few mintues scraping it off. The good news is this will be our coldest morning for at least the next seven days.

A warming trend begins today as highs will be in the upper 50s to low 60s. This is still below average for this time of year, but about ten degrees warmer than yesterday. Winds should be pretty light from the southwest at 5 to 10 mph.

The weekend is looking just about picture perfect. You should be able to enjoy some time in the park or maybe play some golf. Mostly sunny skies are expected on Saturday, while Sunday should be partly cloudy. Highs will be in the low 70s which is what we expect to see this time of year.

A cold front will likely move through the area on Monday. Temperatures won't cool down much at all behind it. Highs will remain in the low to mid 70s for the first half of the work week.

Rain chances of 20% enter the picture for Tuesday through Thursday. A trough looks to be set up to our west during this time period. A few upper level disturbances and an upper level low should help fire off some showers and thunderstorms. We'll keep an eye on this and see if those rain chances increase as we get closer to those days.

Have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend!
