Much Cooler Temperatures Today

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We will experience much cooler conditions today after tying a record high of 85 yesterday. A cold front should move through the area during the morning hours. We have already experienced our highs which were in the low to upper 60s across the viewing area this morning. For much of the day, temperatures will hang around the 40s and 50s. There is a 20% chance of rain for mainly the eastern portion of the viewing area through lunchtime. Winds are expected to increase to 20 to 30 mph from the west-northwest this afternoon. Wind gusts may reach 35 to 40 mph. The western and southern portions of the viewing area are under a Wind Advisory for the afternoon hours. There is a Red Flag Warning in effect this afternoon for Coke, Nolan, Taylor, Runnels, Coleman, Callahan, Brown, Comanche, Eastland and Stephens counties. With critical fire weather conditions expected again in those areas today, please be careful.

Tonight will be cold due to the arrival of a second front this evening. It should be a dry fronal passage with lows in the mid to upper 20s. Remember to protect your pets, plants and pipes tonight.

It doesn't look to be as windy tomorrow with winds from the south at 10 to 15 mph. Seasonal temperatures are expected with highs in the mid to upper 50s. Skies will be mostly sunny.

Another cold front looks to move through the area early Thursday. This will reinforce the colder air that is already in place. Highs should remain in the mid to upper 50s. This frontal passage will likely be a dry one.

The wind may pick up on Friday. Other than that it will be pleasant with highs in the mid to upper 60s under mostly sunny skies.

Yet another cold front should move through the area on Saturday. No precipitation is expected. Highs will cool down into the low to mid 60s.

We could see some rain Sunday and Monday due to an upper level low developing to our west. The chance of precipitation is slight right now, but that could increase as we get closer to that time period.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
