Monday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

After receiving much needed rainfall this weekend, for some reason, Mother Nature decided to steal some of that moisture back with strong winds today. Those strong winds aid in evaporation of the surface moisture, that's why almost all roads are dry today. The good news is, it looks like most of the rainfall was able to soak into the ground before the winds picked up too much.

Tonight, another cold front will pass through the Big Country shifting winds from the West to the Northwest. With this front, temperatures tonight will flirt with the freezing point. I'm forecasting lows of 30 to 32 degrees areawide so if you have planted anything, or have uncovered vegetation outdoors, remember to take care of those tonight. Go ahead and bring the pets indoors as well.

Tuesday will be mainly sunny, but still cool with North winds. Highs will only climb into the middle to upper 50s.

Wednesday looks about the same with the only difference being Partly Cloudy skies.

Thursday we will have another, this time very weak, cold front pass through the area. Highs will still climb into the middle to upper 50s.

Then from Friday through next Monday, expect mostly sunny skies and high temperatures climbing from the lower 60s Friday, to the upper 70s by Monday.
