Wednesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We were a little cooler today across much of the Big Country thanks to a cold front that moved through during the late morning to early afternoon hours. Unfortunately, it was a dry frontal passage for us because we could really use the rain.

A high pressure system will set up to our north tomorrow and cause breezy north-northeast winds. Canadian air will be pumped into the region causing chilly temperatures. Highs are expected to be in the low to mid 40s. Wind chills should be in the 30s.

You will definitely want to protect your pets, plants, and pipes Thursday night. Lows look to drop into the upper teens to low 20s. This means everyone needs to bundle up as they head to school and work Friday morning.

Temperatures are expected to rebound nicely Friday afternoon. Despite a very cold start and a partly cloudy sky, highs should reach the upper 40s to low 50s.

The partly cloudy sky looks to continue this weekend with warmer temperatures. Highs on Saturday should be in the upper 50s with mid 60s likely on Sunday.

Moisture is expected to have returned to the region by early next week. With an upper level low, disturbances, and a cold front possibly moving into the Big Country Monday and Tuesday, we have a chance for rain. That chance is only slight right now since the best moisture will be just east of the area. Highs on those days look to be in the upper 50s to low 60s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
