Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Not so cold this morning out there with temperatures into the 30s and 40s across the region. Mostly cloudy out there this morning but I think most of these low clouds break up later this morning leaving us with a partly cloudy day. A very warm day with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s with southerly breeze. Clouds will return tonight and temperatures should only drop into to the lower 40s but still breezy with that south wind.
*A low pressure center will drift across the southern areas of the state late tomorrow bringing a decent rain chance for the Big Country, Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley from Thursday evening and into Saturday morning. The counter-clockwise spin around the low should pull a good supply of moisture up from the south over West Central Texas for our rain event. The best rain chances will come Thursday night and on Friday for the area. Temperatures could be cool enough for a brief rain/snow mix overnight Friday and early on Saturday but the new model data is showing these senario isn't quite so impressive this morning. Daytime highs cool back into the lower to middle 40s for Friday and cold Friday night with temperatures in the lower 30s.
* Weekend: Decreasing clouds on Saturday but still some lingering moisture in the area early in the morning. Highs on Saturday climb into the lower 50s with an overnight low into the lower 30s. Sunday looks nice with a mostly sunny sky with highs back into the low 60s.
* The Winter Outlook: The Climate Prediction Center indicates a moderate El Niño pattern continues to bring West Central Texas a wetter pattern here in the winter months. Increased wintry precipitation is possible depending on temperature trends. Equal chances of above or below normal temperatures remain possible for the area.
