Cloudy Conditions Stay Put, Some Drizzle:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* We saw cloudy and cool weather over the weekend. Changes are a coming this week. First of all let me say my confidence in my forecast isn't that high because the forecast models are having a horrible time forecasting short term trends. This is normal, especially at the start of season transitions in weather patterns. Clouds will more than likely remain in place today but it will be a tad warmer with lower 60s across the Big Country. Patchy fog this morning and a little drizzle possible at times during the day. Southwesterly flow in the mid-levels of the atmosphere will bring disturbance across Mexico and into West Texas tonight and tomorrow, which will bring the chance for showers and thunderstorms. Lows tonight in the middle 50s. Highs Tuesday in the upper 60s. We should finally begin to clear out on Wednesday but it will be warmer with upper 80 before a strong cold front arrives. Late week look for mostly sunny conditions with cooelr highs in the lower 70s and lows in the lower 50s.
