Cool Start & A Mild Afternoon:


Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* A nice cool start to the morning with lows dropping into the upper 40s and lower 50s across the Big Country. Some clouds are drifting in from the south this morning so expect a partly cloudy and mild day with highs climbing into the middle 70s across the area. Clouds will increase tonight ahead of the next front and a low to our south that will throw some moisture back up this way. Lows tonight in the lower to middle 50s thanks to the clouds that should keep us from dropping into even lower.

* Expect more clouds in the area on Thursday with a slight chance of rain across the Big Country with high right around 70 in most spots. This cold front is not a strong as the one that arrived on Monday so not much cooler air with this system.

* Just as we get use to the cooler weather the pattern will shift and we'll begin a warming trend this weekend and next week with highs back well into the 80s across the area. The forecast for now looks dry from Friday and into the middle of next week.
