* Another cold start this morning with some areas at or just below freezing. A nice day ahead with temperatures warming up to near 70 this afternoon. Not as cold tonight thanks to a south wind, our temperatures will drop into the middle 40s. Partly cloudy on Thursday with highs in the lower to middle 70s. A cold front arrives late Thursday bringing a slight rain chance for late Thursday and early Friday. The best rain chances should be south and east of Interstate 20.

* Weekend: Expect mostly sunny conditions over the weekend with daytime highs in the middle to upper 60s. Overnight lows will be in the upper 30s on Saturday morning and we'll be into the middle 40s Sunday morning.

* Next Week: Another cold front will arrive on Monday. Models bring this front in with a dry airmass so no rain chances expected for the Big Country. We will see some more clouds with the front. Temperatures in the 60s behind the front and lows getting back into the lower 40s and upper 30s.

* Winter Outlook: The Climate Prediction Center indicates a moderate El NiƱo pattern is taking shape and will bring West Central Texas a wetter pattern for the winter months. There is also a chance for increased winter precipitation depending on temperature trends. Data suggests equal chances of above or below normal temperatures, so more than likely the numbers will remain near normal for this time of year.
