Thursday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The warm and breezy conditions continued across much of the Big Country today. Changes are already taking place this evening as a cold front passes through the area. Drier air has moved in as dewpoints have dropped from the 60s this morning to the 20s and 30s this evening.

Cooler temperatures are expected tonight as lows should dip into the mid to upper 40s. It should be windy with winds from the northwest at 15 to 25 mph.

Tomorrow will be much cooler than today with highs in the mid to upper 60s. With our area being caught between a strong low pressure system to the east and a high pressure close by to the northwest, windy conditions will remain tomorrow. Our winds will be 20 to 30 mph from the north-northwest. If you are going to be driving in a high profile vehicle, be careful on the highways.

Warmer temperatures return for the weekend with highs returning back to and a little above average for this time of year. Highs look to be in the low to mid 70s. Don't forget that Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday morning at 2 a.m., so set your clocks back one hour before going to bed Saturday night.

We will likely start next week off with partly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 70s. A cold front may move into the area late Tuesday into early Wednesday bringing our highs back down to the upper 60s to low 70s for the middle of next week.

Have a fantastic Friday!
