Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* We'll start out cloudy on this Wednesday morning and then become partly cloudy during the day. Highs in the upper 70s. Clouds will once again be on the increase tonight. Our strong cold front will move into West Central Texas overnight/early Thanksgiving morning. There will be some moisture ahead of the front and we could see a stray shower, mostly across the eastern and southeastern viewing area ahead of the front.
* The front should clear the KRBC viewing area by daybreak Thursday morning with decreasing clouds into the day. Mostly sunny and much colder on Thanksgiving across the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley. We'll start the day off in the upper 30s and lower 40s with highs later in the day only climbing into the lower and middle 40s. We're looking at a hard freeze come Thursday night and for shoppers early Friday morning. Models this morning still keep our lows down into the lower 20s and I still expect our colder spots to drop into the teens early on Friday morning. It'll still be cool on Black Friday but still below average on temperatures with highs in the lower and middle 50s under a mostly sunny sky.
* The Weekend: A slight warming trend will begin as we head into the upcoming weekend. Models bring our high temperatures back into the middle and upper 60s with overnight lows in the upper 20s for Saturday morning and the upper 30s for Sunday morning. No rain chances are expected.
