Milder Weather Returns:

Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Cold start this morning with temperatures ranging from the lower 20s to the lower 30s across West Central Texas. A nice day ahead with highs warming up into the middle 50s under a mostly sunny sky. A weak cold front will move across the region today but we're not expecting much with this boundary. Mostly clear & cold tonight with lows dropping back into the upper 20s and lower 30s.

* Late Week: Warming up into the lower and middle 60s on Thursday and into the upper 60s and lower 70s by Friday. Expect a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky. Lows at night will be in the lower and middle 30s.

* Weekend: Warm weather will continue into the weekend with highs in the upper 60s for Saturday and middle 60s on Sunday. Lows at night will be in the middle and upper 30s. A disturbance working across the region could squeeze out a few rain showers across the southern and eastern portions of the viewing area Saturday night and early on Sunday morning. Another cold front will arrive by the late weekend.

* Next Week: The Sunday cold front will cool highs back into the upper 50s and lower 60s by Monday. An even strong front will arrive by Tuesday pushing highs back into the upper 40s and lower 50s. Another disturbance will move across Texas around this time period as well. Long range models this morning are showing some rain chances for Tuesday and into the middle of next week.
