Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Another cold morning across West Central Texas but it's not quite as cold as the models and our forecast had predicted. The cloud deck returned overnight and that has held temperatures in the upper 10s to the mid 20s. Having said that there could still be some areas that will dip into the middle 10s. On this Wednesday we'll remain mostly cloudy to cloudy with highs only into the middle 30s. Mostly cloudy tonight with lows around 20. A weak disturbance will move across West Texas later today and tonight and could squeeze out a few snow flurries. There's not a lot of moisture to work with so we'll have to see if we can get a few flurries out of the system.
* Late Week/Weekend: We'll start to warm up around here on Thursday with highs in the lower to middle 40s under a mostly cloudy sky. Lows Thursday night will be in the mid 20s. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday we'll warm into the middle 50s with overnight lows in the lower to mid 30s. Expect a partly cloudy sky during this time frame.
* Next Week: Warming up into the lower 60s on Monday ahead of the next strong cold front that will arrive on Tuesday. Highs drop back into the lower 50s on Tuesday. Expect a partly cloudy sky early next week. Models are not in agreement with how cold this next Arctic blast will be for us across West Central Texas but we'll continue to advertise a cooler pattern next week.
