Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Another quiet day ahead for the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley on this Tuesday. A weak cold front moved through the area overnight and will cool our temperatures down today into the lower 50s. Expect a few clouds at times today. Another chilly night ahead with lows dipping into the lower 30s under a partly cloudy sky.
* Late Week: We'll remain mostly sunny to partly cloudy each day with highs in the upper 50s and the lower 60s. Overnight lows will hold in the upper 20s to the lower 30s. No rain chances are expected for the late week period.
* Weekend: Moisture will quickly return to the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley by the weekend. A decent system will track across the southwestern states/northern areas of Mexico and into Texas by the weekend. With moisture in place the forecast models are generating rain chances across our area. The best chance looks to be Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. The rain ending by early Sunday morning. Highs in the middle 50s on Saturday, middle 40s on Sunday with lows in the lower 30s.
* Next Week: Long range models continue to advertise an Arctic cold blast across a large part of the country and into West Central Texas. This looks to be the coldest air we've seen so far this winter. Highs on Monday in the upper 30s and lower 40s. Highs on Tuesday in the lower 30s. Overnight lows in the upper 20s Monday morning and lower 20s on Tuesday morning. Stay tuned as we track this possible cold blast arriving early next week.
