A Chilly Morning, Pleasant Afternoon

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

It was a pleasant afternoon across the Big Country as temperatures rose to 70 degrees. The speedy cold front made its way into out area around 3pm and hit I20 just around 6pm. It was all the way passed by 8 pm. With the front the winds gusted and switched to the North which has made for a very chilly overnight. This morning bundle up as you head out side as wind chills are in the 20's for our northern counties with the rest of us feeling like the low 30's.

The winds quickly switch back today toward the early afternoon, this will help us to warm up but still stay shy of the highs we saw yesterday. It will be a very pleasant afternoon with highs in the low 60's and light winds.

With cloud cover increasing overnight and southerly winds temperatures will not drop near as cold, hovering around 50 degrees.

This weekend will start of nice for Friday but an upper level trough combined with a cold front could make for a few showers Friday night through early Sunday. The system looks to brush the panhandle which would keep the bulk of the activity to our west and north. The best timing to see activity will continue to be the first day in December. Along with the system a front moves through late Saturday and will drop temperatures from upper 60's to low 60's and lows return our low to the upper 30's. Saturday may be a good time to get some shopping done while Sunday may be perfect for getting some outdoor Christmas decorations up!

The beginning of the week the sky will be dominated with sunshine, mid 60's for highs and low 40's for lows.

Have a great day!
