Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* A bit overcast this morning across West Central Texas with temperatures ranging from the upper 20s to the upper 30s. Expect a mixture of clouds and sunshine today, breezy, with highs climbing into the middle 60s. Mostly cloudy, breezy and cool tonight with lows dropping into the lower 30s.
* Weekend: Moisture returns to the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley. A strong low pressure system which is currently over southern areas of California will track eastward tonight and into Saturday. Showers should begin to develop Saturday afternoon. The best chance for rain looks to be Saturday night. The rain ending by early Sunday morning. Highs in the upper 40s on Saturday and Sunday with lows in the lower to middle 30s.
* Next Week: Arctic cold front still on track to arrive in West Central Texas by Monday. This will be the coldest air we've seen so far this winter. Highs on Monday in will be the upper 40s but quickly dropping as the front moves through the area. Highs on Tuesday and Wednesday in the lower 30s. Overnight lows in the upper 10s to lower 20s. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night. No organized storms systems are expected right now but we'll keep an eye on things. If any weak disturbances move across and they are able tap any moisture then we could see some snow flurries or light snow. For now I'm keeping the forecast on the dry side. Stay tuned as KRBC tracks this possible cold blast arriving early next week.
