Colder Temperatures Return Tomorrow

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a beautiful afternoon here in the Big Country today. We started off cold with temperatures in the upper 20s to mid 30s this morning. There was some patchy fog across parts of the area too. The fog cleared and we ended up with mostly sunny skies for the majority of the day. This helped temperatures warm up into the upper 50s to mid 60s.

Colder temperatures will return to the area tomorrow due to cloudy skies and the arrival of a cold front. We could start with some patchy fog in the morning. Highs look to be in the upper 40s to low 50s. There is a 20% chance of showers thanks to the front as well as an upper level trough that should begin moving towards the area.

The chance for precipitation will increase to 30% Friday night and linger through Saturday morning. Lows look to be in the low to mid 30s so we will likely see a change to all snow or at least a rain/snow mix across the Big Country. Our chances for precipitation are not higher because moisture will be limited and the projected track of trough is a little too far to the north.

If you have any plans to do shopping or go to the high school football playoff games on Saturday, you will need to dress warmly, but there will be no need for rain gear. The upper level trough will be a quick mover so we should see decreasing clouds through the day on Saturday. Highs look to be in the low to mid 40s.

Sunday through Wednesday are expected to be dry with highs ranging from the low 50s to low 60s during that time period. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy.

Have a fantastic Friday!
