Late Week Warming Trend:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Quiet weather in place to end the week across the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley. Ample sunshine today and a little warmer with highs in the lower 70s. Clear and not as cold with lows into the lower 40s. On Friday we'll be sunny but turning windy with highs up to around 80. A cold front will move across the region late Friday night and early Saturday. Lows Friday night will be into the mid 40s.

* Weekend: Mostly sunny on Saturday and a little cooler with highs in the lower to middle 70s. Partly cloudy and mild with lows into the middle 40s on Saturday night. Becoming partly cloudy on Sunday with highs in the middle 70s. Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of showers on Sunday night with lows in the upper 40s and lower 50s.

* Next Week: A slight chance of showers early on Monday, otherwise partly cloudy with highs in the mid 70s. Partly cloudy with highs in the mid 70s on Tuesday and Wednesday. Overnight lows will hold into the upper 40s and lower 50s.

* Wildfire Threat: Fire danger will remain elevated through the end of this week. On Friday a surface trough of low pressure will develop to the west and produce gusty south winds across West Central Texas. With very dry air in place over much of West Texas and afternoon high temperatures well above seasonal normals critical fire danger is possible on Friday especially across the big county. A weak cold front will push south across West Central Texas on Saturday and bring cooler temperatures. Thus expect reduced fire danger this week with afternoon minimum relative humidity values remaining above 20 percent.

* Time Change: Standard Time will end Sunday, March 13 at 2:00 AM and at that time we will "spring forward" an hour. Remember to turn your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed this Saturday night or turn them up when you wake up on Sunday morning.

Quiet Weather Expect On This Monday:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* We had quiet a wild weather day on Sunday across the area. Abilene broke a record high hitting 89° and many spots topped out into the lower 90s. A large number of wildfires broke out across the region due to the windy, warm weather and low relative humidity values.

* On this Monday we'll still be breezy this morning and into the day today. A cold front will drop out of the Panhandle and South Plains across the Big Country shifting the wind to the north and northwest later day. Cooler today with highs only into the middle 60s under a sunny sky. Clear and cold tonight with lows in the upper 20s and lower 30s.

* The Week Ahead: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy for Tuesday thru Friday with highs into the mid 70s for Tuesday and Wednesday. High will be around 80 for Thursday and drop back into the mid 70s for Friday. Overnight lows will range into 40s and 50s. A cold front will arrive Friday night and bring in cooler weather for the weekend. There is a very small chance for a few rain showers at this time but the chance is too low to add into my forecast package at this time.

* The Weekend: Partly cloudy and cooler with highs in the lower 60s on Saturday and the mid 60s for Sunday. Overnight lows will be into the 30s.

* Wildfire Threat: A cold front will move through the area this morning with winds becoming northerly behind it at 15 to 20 mph. Winds will diminish to 10 to 15 mph by this afternoon. Minimum relative humidity values this afternoon will drop to 25 percent or less across all of West Central Texas. Minimum relative humidity values will remain low throughout much of the upcoming week but winds should remain light. Regardless elevated fire weather conditions can be expected due to the low relative humidity values. no rain is in the forecast through the end of the week.

Windy & Warm Weekend Ahead:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* A cold start this Friday morning with temperatures into the lower and middle 30s across the region under a clear sky. Cooler weather for the area today with highs into the middle 60s under a sunny sky. Lows tonight will be milder into the mid 40s. Partly cloudy, windy and warm for Saturday with highs around 80 and dropping down into the middle 50s for Saturday night. Partly cloudy on Sunday, windy and warm with highs into the lower 80s with lows into the lower 40s for Sunday night. A cold front will move across the region late Sunday. There is a slight chance of a shower along the front, mainly across the far eastern counties closer to better moisture fetch. Air mass looks to be too dry to support any showers for the rest of the viewing area.

* Weekend Wildfire Threat: Critical fire weather day possible Sunday as a strong surface low develops in Southeast Colorado and moves east. The most critical time for winds are indicated late afternoon Sunday and continuing into through the evening as a Pacific front moves trough. Earlier during the mid and early afternoon Sunday winds are not as strong around 20-25 mph. If later timing of front holds the Fire Weather Watch may need to be extended to midnight.

*** Lake Wind Advisory in effect for West Central Texas area lakes this afternoon ***

* An area of showers and thunderstorms over the South Plains and the Northern Permian Basin will move east and northeastward across the Big Country this morning. These storms should exit the region by midday. A few of these storms could be strong with an isolated severe storm not out of the question. A severe thunderstorm watch is out for the northern, northwestern and western counties until midday.

Much Needed Rain Chances Return:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Mild and humid this Wednesday morning across West Central Texas with temperatures ranging from the upper 40s to the middle 50s. Dewpoint numbers are around the same values so it's humid this morning. There is some patchy fog and drizzle across the area as well. As we progress into the day expect a partly sunny sky with highs into the middle 70s. Cloudy tonight with a good chance for showers and thunderstorms overnight. A few storms could be strong but an organized severe weather threat is not expected. Lows tonight drop into the lower 50s.

* Late Week: Still a few showers and storms around Thursday morning. As the system moves away we'll decrease clouds and turn windy with highs into the lower 70s. Mostly clear and cooler for Thursday night with lows into the mid 30s. Cooler weather on Friday with highs into the upper 60s under a mostly sunny sky. Lows Friday night will be warmer into the upper 40s.

* Weekend: Partly cloudy, windy and warm for Saturday with highs in the upper 70s and dropping down into the lower 50s for Saturday night. Partly cloudy on Sunday and cooler with highs into the middle to upper 60s. There is a slight chance for rain on Sunday as a system works across the region. The better chance will be Sunday night and into early Monday. Cooler with lows into the upper 30s Sunday night.

* Wildfire Threat: With a moist air mass in place today across the area the wildfire should remain low. The rain chances tonight and early Thursday will help reduce the fire threat for a time. As the storm system moves away the winds will pick up by Thursday afternoon which will quickly dry us out and elevate the wildfire threat for Thursday afternoon and Friday. Warm temperatures and windy conditions will push the area into critical wildfire conditions on Saturday. You can see a map of counties with established burn bans by clicking here.

Mild Weather Now, Slight Rain Chance Soon:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* It's been a few weeks since we've had a chilly start to our day. Temperatures this morning are into the 30s across the area. Mostly sunny to start the day but we should see a few clouds later into the day with highs warming into the middle 60s. Becoming mostly cloudy tonight and warmer with lows into the lower 50s. Areas of fog and drizzle will be possible overnight and into early on Wednesday.

* Midweek/Late: Partly to mostly cloudy on Wednesday with highs into the lower 70s. Cloudy with a slight chance of showers and perhaps an isolated thunderstorm Wednesday night with lows in the mid 50s. Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms early on Thursday, then decreasing clouds and breezy into the afternoon. Highs into the lower 70s. A little cooler on Friday with highs into the upper 60s and the lower 70s under a mostly sunny sky.

* Weekend: Partly cloudy each day and warmer with highs climbing into the middle 70s area wide each day. A few clouds with lows into the 40s for Saturday morning and 50s on Sunday morning.

* Wildfire Threat: Fire weather conditions will ease somewhat on Tuesday and Wednesday as south to southeast winds bring better low level moisture back into West Central Texas. A weak storm system will bring a chance of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms to the area mainly across the Heartland and the Big Country. However, a developing dryline will move into the area on Thursday. With strong southwest to west winds and a drop in afternoon humidity values will will lead to conditions that approach red flag criteria.

Slightly Cooler Weather Today:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Cloudy start this morning with temperatures ranging from the upper 40s across the northwestern counties to the lower and middle 60s across the southeastern and eastern counties. Most everyone else is pretty much holding into the 50s. Dewpoints are into the 50s as well so a little fog is possible in some areas. A weak front will move across the area early this morning and should help push most of the cloud cover in place to the east. An even stronger Canadian cold front will move across the region this afternoon. The wind will pick up out of the northwest as the stronger front arrives later today. Cooler weather today with highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s. We'll become mostly clear by tonight and cold with lows dropping into the middle 30s.

* The Week Ahead: Partly cloudy and cooler on Tuesday with highs in the middle and upper 60s with lows in Tuesday night back into the middle 30s. Partly cloudy with areas of drizzle Wednesday morning but warming into the lower 70s during the day. Increasing clouds with a chance of a shower late Wednesday night with lows in the middle 50s. Another cold front will arrive on Thursday and there is a decent chance of showers and thunderstorms with this front (around a 30 percent chance at the moment) as this system moves across the region. Highs in the lower to middle 70s but dropping into the 60s by the afternoon. Another cold night with lows into the upper 30s for Thursday night. Partly cloudy and cool on Friday with highs into the middle 60s.

* Wildfire Threat: Elevated fire weather conditions are expected on Monday as very dry air moves in behind a cold front. Minimum relative humidity values will drop to 20 percent or less across most of the area. Wind speeds are expected to remain between 12 and 15 mph so a Red Flag Warning is not anticipated. Near critical fire weather conditions will be possible on Thursday as a cold front sweeps through the area and brings much drier air and strong gusty west winds to the region.

Old Man Winter Pays Another Visit:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

*** Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until Noon for the Big Country, the Northern Concho Valley and the Northern Heartland. ***

*** Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect for today across portions of the Big Country and the Heartland. ***

* Winter weather event turning out to not be as extensive as forecast models have predicted over the last 24 hours. A layer of dry air has worked into the mid-levels of the atmosphere overnight and has suppressed any heavier precipitation other than light snow and some freezing drizzle. At the time of this update there is a decent band of light snow from around Haskell to Seymour to Wichita Falls but this band is tracking southeast and will just clip the northeastern counties. Otherwise just some very light snow/freezing drizzle in scattered spots over the most of the viewing area. Be alert that this precipitation can still cause some light icing issues on bridges, overpasses and roadways this morning. We've heard reports of some icy spots in portions of the Heartland and the Eastern Big Country.

* Light snow will end by midday across the area but very cold with highs only into the lower 20s today. It'll feel colder with a gusty north wind pushing wind chill values below zero. Clouds will decrease into the afternoon. Mostly clear and very cold tonight with lows in the upper 0s to low 10s across the area. Any precipitation still on the ground will still cause some minor icy travel issues overnight and early Thursday morning. Mostly sunny on Thursday with highs warming into the middle 30s.

* Friday/Weekend Weather: Abundant sunshine and warming up for Friday and into the upcoming weekend. Highs Friday climb into the lower 50s and into the lower 60s by Saturday. On Sunday many spots could hit 70° for high temperatures. Lows in the upper 10s Friday morning, middle 20s on Saturday morning and lower 30s for Sunday morning.

* Next Week: Mostly sunny and quiet weather with highs in the lower to middle 60s and lows into the middle 30s. Nice weather for Valentines Day on Monday.
