Tuesday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

For our first morning of the spring season, it certainly is cold out there. Lows bottomed out in the low to mid 30s for most of the Big Country. That's about 10 to 15 degrees below average for this time of year. The colder air is thanks mostly to a cold front that moved through last night.

Overall, this first full day of spring should be nice but cool. It will be mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 50s. The winds will die down, but remain breezy from the north-northwest at 10 to 20 mph. You'll want to think about bringing the pets and tender vegetation in tonight since lows will be close to freezing once again. Some locations could see a light freeze.

The cool temperatures stick around on Wednesday with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the low to mid 50s. A cold front is expected to move through by tomorrow evening bringing a reinforcing shot of cold air for the rest of the work week. We could also see a few isolated showers. The question is whether or not we'll have enough moisture in place. For now, I'm going with an optimistic 20% chance of rain. Amounts, if any, look to be very light.

Thursday should be partly cloudy with highs remaining in the low to mid 50s.

We begin a warming trend on Friday that will last into early next week. Highs for this time period should range from the low 60s to mid 70s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
