Monday Starting Off Cool

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

Showers and thunderstorms fired up ahead of a cold front bring alot of activity to our southern and eastern counties. The front was moving around 25 mph and will continue through the morning to bring rainfall from a line south of Ballinger to Coleman to Eastland. As the front passes behind it we are seeing drier and cooler air. Temperatures are ranging from upper 50's behind to low 70's ahead of it. These storms are being fuelled by the warm moist air along with upper level energy. The activity will end from northwest to southeast as we will loose the lifting mechanism and moisture with the continued push of the front. Temperatures by the afternoon will feel alot more like fall only reaching the mid 70's. Grab the jacket if you will be heading out tonight as lows drop into the mid 50's.

Tomorrow we should stay dry with more seasonal temperatures once again in the lower 80's. By tomorrow night into Wednesday another shortwave will pass in our upper levels helping to bring the rain chances back in the forecast. The best precipitation chance will be in our northern counties through the day Wednesday.

Behind this we will keep the forecast dry with another front by Thursday helping to bring back the autumn temperatures for the weekend.

Have a great day!
