Cold Weather Approaching

From meteorologist Jason Myers......

Tonight looks to be cooler than last night as clear skies and dry air will aid in radiational cooling. By tomorrow morning you'll want to have the jacket with you with low temperatures in the upper 40s. The sun will help temperatures warm to mild temperatures, yet our high will only stay in the lower 70s due to a cold front that will move through Sunday bringing cooler air and a northerly flow with it. Also, expect to see another windy day with winds from the NNW 10 - 20 mph.

As Craig mentioned earlier, cold air is on it's way! A cold front is expected to move through the Big Country Monday night into Tuesday morning. Temperatures on Tuesday will stay in the lower 60s. The low temperature for Tuesday will be the upper 40s, yet instead of the low temperature happening Tuesday morning, the lowest temperature may be right before midnight Tuesday night, depending on how fast the temperatures drop after the cold front moves through. My thoughts are that if highs only make it to around the lower 60s, temperatures should drop pretty fast once the sun goes down Tuesday night and because of the cold front that will have moved through. The coldest night will be Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, when we'll see our low temperature below freezing!
Since Wednesday morning will be our coldest temperature for the fall season, plans need to be made now to protect plants, pets, and pipes that could be exposed to these freezing temperatures.

High temperatures will continue to stay in the 60s through next weekend as another cold front moves through on Friday.

No chances for rain in the 5 day forecast due to dry air staying in place.

Have a great rest of the weekend!
