Monday Starting off Cool and Wet

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

A sunny weekend blanketed the Big Country with temperatures reaching the upper 80's to low 90's. Big changes came Sunday night.
Around 6 pm last night a cold front began its push through the Big Country. By early this morning it had made its rush through our area bringing cooler temperatures, gusty winds and showers and thunderstorms with it. This morning we will continue to see the showers as they begin to decrease from west to east with temperatures in the mid 40's. On your way out to work you will want to grab the jacket, closed toed shoes and umbrella. As the showers dissipate the clouds will decrease with the sunshine peaking through by the later afternoon, early evening. Strong winds will continue to blow from the North keeping temperatures much cooler with highs toping in the mid to upper 50's.

Tonight the winds will begin to die down and with just a few scattered clouds we are going to see the coolest temperatures since the end of April. If you have not yet found the sweaters in your closet you may want to today as temperatures will get to the upper 30's to low 40's overnight.

The forecast over the next few days will be greatly influenced by a cut off low that is beginning to develop in the southern Rockies. This low could park itself over our area or wander towards the east. One thing is certain, we will see below average temperatures. Right now I am keeping rain in for Wednesday as the low should move closer to our area. Temperatures will stay in the mid 60's for the next couple days increasing to the low 70's by the end of the week as the low pushes off to the northeast.

Have a great day!
