A Cool Halloween With Rain Early

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

A cold front is moving through the Big Country this morning bringing with it showers and thunderstorms. Most of the rain should take place during the morning and early afternoon hours. The chance for rain is 40%. It will be windy today with winds from the north-northwest at 15 to 25 mph. Higher gusts are expected. A lake wind advisory is in effect for most of the area today, so you might want to postpone your trip to the lake. Highs will likely be in the mid 60s at best today, and that should occur this morning before the cold front moves through.

The rain and clouds are expected to clear out in time for all you trick-or-treaters out there. If you don't have a warm costume, you might want to take the jacket since it will be cool evening with winds from the north-northwest at 5 to 10 mph. Lows should be in the upper 30s to low 40s.

The weather is looking great for Tuesday through Friday. Mostly sunny skies are expected. Highs should be in the 70s on Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday and Friday, highs will likely be in the low 80s. So it looks like temperatures will be swinging back above average for the majority of the work week.

Have a safe and happy Halloween!
