Warming Up This Weekend:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...


* The cloud deck this morning across West Central Texas has kept temperatures from dropping as cold as we had forecasted yesterday and those clouds will stick around most of the day today so look for highs only in the upper 40s. Winds will turn southerly and thus we will be a bit warmer as the cold air mass will be somewhat erroded.

* Over the weekend look for a warming trend over the weekend with highs climbing back into the upper 50s to middle 60s across the Big Country. No rain chances over the weekend as dry air remains in place for the area. A cold front will move through overnight Saturday, but it is not that strong and will only cool daytime highs a couple of degrees.

* Down The Road: Forecast models this morning are showing a break down in the overall pattern and a nice warming trend for next week with highs into the 70s by the middle part of the week but still no rain chances. As Randy mentions in his blog below, the forecast models are hinting at maybe a rain chance out toward the end of the GFS 14-Day model run but we have to take that with a grain of salt. After all, this far out in the forecast models is out in "voodoo" land.

Have a wonferful weekend!
