Nice November Day Ahead:


Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Patchy fog in spots across the Big Country, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley this morning so give yourself a little extra time headling out. Fog will disspate by late morning with a nice day ahead. Expect a partly cloudy sky with temperatures in mostly in the middle 70s. A few clouds still possible tonight and looks like fog will redevelop overnight again with lows in the upper 40s and lower 50s.

* The rest of the week still looks pretty quiet with mostly sunny to partly cloudy days with highs in the middle and upper 70s and overnight lows in the lower to middle 50s. A cold front still on track to move in late Saturday and early on Sunday and bring us a slight chance for rain and some cooler temperatures with highs dropping back into the 60s.

* November Outlook: The Climate Prediction Center is forecasting a wetter month for West Central Texas due to the return of El NiƱo and its effects on Texas. As far as temperatures go, the 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.

* First Freeze Dates: The average first freeze of the fall season for us here in our part of West Central Texas is in the early to middle part of November. Here are just a few of the dates as reported by the San Angelo National Weather Service: Abilene - November 12, Coleman - November 13, Brownwood - November 13, Ballinger - November 9, and Rotan - November 12.
