Same Weather Story, Different Day...







Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Unseasonably warm weather is here to stay for the next seven days it seems based on the new data this morning. Today and tomorrow look to be warmest days with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s with mostly sunny days and mostly clear nights. Temperatures drop back down into the lower 80s over the weekend and eventually into the 70s early next week, but we are still well above the average daytime hight which is around 66° for early March.

* Fire Threat: Winds will be up today as the trough continues to sharpens just to our west. This will increase winds out of the south and southwest this week, not to mention bring unseasonably warm weather back to the area. Most areas are between an inch and a half to two inches below normal on rainfall for the year.

* Rain Chances: The model runs this morning are looking a bit better for rain chances this weekend and into early next week. We could see some isolated storms late Saturday to develop along a dryline and then the upper air flow will bring upper level disturbances across West Texas early next week so I've added a 20% chance for rain from late Saturday into Tuesday in my forecast package for this morning.

* Time Change: Don't forget we all have to spring forward one hour early Sunday morning at 2:00 AM. It's time once again for us to go back into Daylight Saving Time. Also don't forget to change out the batteries in the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Have a great Wednesday...
