9:00 p.m. Update on Cold Front

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

The cold front looks to be on schedule, if not running a little ahead of schedule to arrive in the Central Big Country by 7:00 a.m.

As of right now the frontal system has pushed through Denver, CO where they are reporting snow with a temperature of 28 degrees and North winds at 20 mph and gusting to 28 mph.

Although we won't be seeing any snow, or any other form of precipitation, we will have to deal with blowing dust and dirt. If you, or anyone you know have breathing problems, I would advise staying indoors for the majority of the day Tuesday with all windows and vents closed.

Also, since we have been dry since October 31st, fire dangers will be very high tomorrow. With the strong winds, 20-30mph and gusting up to 50mph, any fire could get out of control in a hurry. So please, no outside burning of any kind tomorrow, and even though you should never throw a cigarette butt out, tomorrow is certainly a day to not. One ember could start a huge fire that would be difficult, if not impossible to control.

One more freeze warning has been issued for Stonewall county. Click the following link for the complete advisory from The National Weather Service in Lubbock.
