A Cold Wednesday Morning

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

We saw a cold start to the 2008 year as temperatures dropped into the teens. Yesterday there was plenty of sunshine with a dry air mass in place but the highs only made it into the upper 40's. With the winds blowing it continued to feel chilly even during the afternoon.

It is another bitterly cold morning, bundle up because temperatures are in the teens with the winds making it feel even colder. You may want to start the car a few minutes early as it will take a while to heat up on your way to work. Highs today will only reach the mid to upper 40’s with a few high clouds. Tonight we will warm up into the 20's as the winds begin to switch out of the southeast .

As a high pressure pushes east our winds will stay out of the southeast into the weekend. This will mean moisture and warmer air returning to the Big Country. Highs gradually increase to the 60's by the weekend. Lows will go from 20's tonight to 40's for the weekend.

Early next week a disturbance may cause a few showers Monday night into Tuesday. Since we just started a new year we are in a deficit but we did end 2007 with 12 inches in the rain bucket.

Have a great day!
