Roller Coaster Ride Of Temperatures Expected

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

What a difference a day makes! After having high temperatures in the 70s yesterday, most of the Big Country didn't even make it out of the 40s today.
Skies remained cloudy throughout most of the day.

We should see another cold front move through the area early tomorrow. No rain is expected with it as skies will likely be mostly sunny. Highs on Sunday look to be in the mid 50s. Windy conditions are expected with winds from the north-northwest at 15 to 2o mph and even higher gusts.

A return to above average temperatures is likely on Monday. Skies should be mostly sunny with highs in the low 60s.

Another cold front will likely move through area on Tuesday. No rain is expected as skies should remain mostly sunny. Highs look to be in the mid 50s.

Mild temperatures will return Wednesday through Friday. Highs should be in the 60s for the second half of the work week. With moisture likely to begin returning to the area on Thursday, partly cloudy skies should be back in the area that day and Friday. There is a 20% chance of rain late Friday.

The reason for that chance of rain is due to the arrival of yet another cold front. This front is expected to bring arctic air to the area on Saturday. It looks like we will see highs in the upper 40s. That may occur early in the morning as temperatures could fall throughout the day. If temperatures fall to freezing and precipitation is around, things could get very interesting. This scenario is seven days away and a lot could change between now and then. It is something that we will be keeping a close eye on this week.

Have a spectacular Sunday!
