Warmth Continues, Cold Snap Around The Corner:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Expect a few clouds early this morning then a mostly sunny sky out there on this Tuesday across West Central Texas. Highs today will climb into the middle 70s. Increasing clouds tonight and much warmer with low temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s. We'll start out cloudy on Wednesday morning and then become partly cloudy during the day. Highs in the upper 70s.

* Clouds will once again be on the increase for Wednesday night. Our strong cold front will move into West Central Texas overnight. There will be some moisture ahead of the front and we could see a few showers in spots, mostly across the eastern and southeastern viewing area ahead of the front. The front should clear Big Country overnight and the Northern Concho Valley and the Northern Heartland by the pre-dawn hours.

* Late Week: 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 lower 30s with highs later in the day only climbing into the lower and middle30s 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.
