Below Average Temperatures Continue

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had another cold start to the day this morning across the entire area. Lows were mainly in the upper 20s to mid 30s. Brownwood, however, bottomed out at 21. The reason why Brownwood was so much colder was due to the fact that the winds were calm. Everyone else had winds from the south at 5 to 15 mph. This was keeping the air mixed around the rest of the Big Country, which meant temperatures could not fall as much. Today will be a little warmer than yesterday with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. It may also be breezy at times with winds from the south at 10 to 15 mph. It should be chilly tonight, but not as cold as the previous two nights. Lows will be in the mid 30s with southeast winds at 5 to 10 mph. Any locations that have calm winds in the early morning hours could see colder temperatures. This means that freezing conditions could again take place in some locations. You may want to wait one more night before putting anything sensitive to freezing back outside.

A weak cold front is expected to move through on Friday, which will barely cool temperatures down and shift our winds back to the north. Highs should be in the mid to upper 50s. A quick warm up will likely occur on Saturday before another cold front arrives late that night into early Sunday morning. No rain is expected with Friday or Saturday's front, so we look to remain dry through at least the end of the week. Highs on Saturday should be in low to mid 60s with highs on Sunday in the upper 50s to low 60s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
