Nice Start To The Week:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* A nice start to the week across the area with some high clouds but sunshine will domainte as we get into the day today with highs near 70° in most spots. Lows tonight will drop into the upper 40s with clear conditions.

* High pressure will dominate the weather forecast through the middle of the week. Highs will hold in the 70s with a few 80s in spots and very mild nights with lows in the lower to middle 50s. Breezy conditions will be expect through the week across the Big Country.

* Rain Chances: Models bring a strong storm system into the area over the later half of the week that will bring rounds of showers and thunderstorms from Thursday afternoon through Saturday. Looks like the best rain chances, for now, could be on Friday. The Storm Predicition Center is already noting in theur Day 4-5 outlook that our area could see some severe storms. Stay tuned through the week for updates on the weather event as it develops.

* Wildfire Threat: Right now, the threat has been improved some thanks to the rains over the weekend across West Central Texas. South winds will pick up through the week so the moisture will slowly evaporate. Areas should remain on fire alert! Another chance for rain comes later this week.
