Frozen Precipitation Will Be Coming To An End

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Temperatures remained at or below freezing across the Big Country today. An upper level disturbance caused freezing rain, sleet, and snow to develop this afternoon. It is slowly moving through the viewing area. The main band of precipitation will end from west to east and likely won't clear out of the entire region until well after midnight. All of this activity has caused roads, bridges, and overpasses to become slick and hazardous. If you have to travel, please take your time and be very careful. Lows tonight will be in the upper teens to low 20s with breezy north winds putting wind chills in the single digits and teens.

Any freezing drizzle or light snow flurries should end tomorrow morning. Mostly cloudy skies will remain with breezy north winds. Highs look to be in the upper 20s to low 30s.

We should get temperatures back above freezing Tuesday afternoon with highs in the mid 30s under mostly cloudy skies.

A warming trend is expected to continue Wednesday through next Sunday as highs go from the upper 30s to around 50. Mostly cloudy skies look to be with us for most of that time period with a 20% chance of precipitation Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Our overall pattern over the next 7 to 10 days has us not only holding on to below average temperatures, but also several chances of preciptation. It looks like we will keep upper level lows developing to our west. This means disturbance should roll through the area from time to time over the next week and a half. If we have enough moisture in place, then we will see preciptation.

Have a magnificent and safe Monday!
