Warmer Today, But Colder Later This Week

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are off to another cold start this morning with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Today should be warmer with highs reaching the mid to upper 60s under partly cloudy skies. Breezy conditions are expected with winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph.

Mostly cloudy skies look to be with us on Wednesday as a cold front approaches the area from the north-northeast. This is what we call a backdoor cold front since it will back into the region. Highs for the middle of the week should be in the mid to upper 60s. There is a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms beginning Wednesday evening.

The cold air behind this front is expected to be shallow and much colder temperatures look to be with us Thursday and Friday. Upper level disturbances as well as an upper level low should move close to or over the Big Country during this time period. Our chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase to 30%. Highs on these days look to be in the upper 40s. We could be even colder, so stay tuned.

Saturday should be dry and cool with highs in the mid to upper 50s under partly cloudy skies.

Sunday and Monday will be warmer with highs in the low 70s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
