Cooler Today, Warmer Tomorrow

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

A cold front moved through the area this morning. Showers and thunderstorms developed and moved through portions of Callahan, Eastland, Runnels, Coleman, Brown and Comanche counties. The rain is over for us today. We will see decreasing clouds throughout the day and breezy north winds. Highs will be in the mid to upper 50s which is much cooler than yesterday.

Wednesday and Valentine's Day look dry and windy conditions and highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Another cold front is expected to move through the area late Thursday into early Friday. This will bring some arctic air to the region for the end of the work week. Highs should only be in the mid 30s Friday. There is a good chance for precipitation beginning Thursday night and continuing through Saturday thanks to a cut-off upper level low that will set up shop to our west Friday and not move across the area until early Sunday. It looks like we will have at least a cold rain. We could see some periods of a wintry mix since temperatures will likely be below freezing Thursday and Friday nights. With temperatures expected to be above freezing Friday and highs on Saturday likely to be in the upper 30s to low 40s, we should not have any major problems out there. Also with the above average temperatures we have experienced lately, we have warm ground temperatures right now. We would have to overcome that in order to see significant accumulations. This scenario is still 4 to 5 days away and things could change between now and then so stay tuned.

There is a 20% chance of showers on Sunday with highs in the low to mid 50s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
