Tuesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

With clear skies, calm winds, and a dry airmass, we had optimal radiational cooling conditions last night. Temperatures bottomed out this morning in the low to mid 30s. We will warm up nicely this afternoon into the upper 60s to low 70s for highs. This is slightly warmer than yesterday.

The warming trend will continue tomorrow with highs reaching the low to mid 70s. Windy conditions look to return here in the Big Country thanks to a low pressure system that will be to the north of us. Winds will be from the south at 15 to 25 mph. The fire danger is expected to be high tomorrow. No Fire Weather Watches or Red Flag Warnings have been issued yet. We still need to be careful and follow all the necessary precautions whether there are watches and warnings or not.

A cold front looks to arrive late on Thursday causing temperatures to cool back down for the last three days of the week. There are some chances for showers and thunderstorms during that time too. The trough I wrote about yesterday should still set up to our west for Friday through Sunday. Rain chances are about 20 to 40 percent with the best shot at precipitation being on Saturday. Hopefully, these chances will increase as the end of the work week approaches. We'll just have to wait and see.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
