Friday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Overcast skies and fog continued across the Big Country today. This helped to keep us chilly with highs in the mid 30s to low 40s. The other reason temperatures remained below average is due to a cold front that remains stalled to our south and west.

This front will stay put through tomorrow which will keep our temperatures chilly. With mostly cloudy skies and areas of morning fog expected to continue, highs look to be in the low to mid 40s. If the clouds and fog hold strong like they have the past couple of days, then most locations may not make it past the upper 30s for a high. There is a slight chance for some drizzle and showers as an upper level disturbance moves through the area.

The cold front that has been stalled to our south and west is expected to move back to the north as a warm front late Saturday into early Sunday. This means warmer temperatures for the second half of the weekend. Despite mostly cloudy skies, highs look to be in the mid to upper 60s. There is a slight chance for drizzle and showers on Sunday.

A dryline and upper level disturbance should move through the area on Monday. This will bring us a 30% chance for showers and thunderstorms. Highs look to be in the upper 60s to low 70s under partly cloudy skies.

A cold front is expected to move through the Big Country late Monday into early Tuesday. This front will have arctic air behind it so below average temperatures will return. Highs look to be in the low to mid 40s under partly cloudy skies.

There is a chance for us to see wintry precipitation Tuesday night through Thursday morning. Our best chance will likely be on Wednesday, Valentine's Day. That chance is 30% right now, but could increase or decrease as we get closer to that time period. Highs on Wednesday should be in the low to mid 30s. We will continue to keep you updated on this latest shot at wintry precpitation.

Have a super Saturday!
