Mild Temperatures Continue

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The good news is that the graphics computer that Craig mentioned in last night's update is working this morning. Hopefully it will continue to work properly. We started off chilly this morning with lows mainly in the mid 30s to low 40s. Brownwood was the exception as they bottomed out at 28. Everyone will see mild and pleasant conditions this afternoon with highs in the low to mid 70s. Tonight should not be as chilly with lows mainly in the low to mid 40s. Brownwood could reach the mid 30s.

It should be a beautiful day to travel around the Big Country tomorrow. Mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 70s are expected. It still looks like most of the country will be okay for travel. The only places where you will likely have some delays is in the Great Lakes, Ohio River Valley, and the northeastern states. The beautiful weather continues on Thanksgiving. Highs should be a couple degrees cooler than Wednesday with mostly sunny skies.

Changes look to begin on Friday. A cold front is expected to move through the area and cool us down quite a bit from what we have experienced lately. Highs may only reach the low to mid 60s with partly cloudy skies. If you are going to be heading out early in the day for all of those big sales at the stores, I would suggest wearing long sleeves and a jacket. Temperatures that morning should be in the upper 30s to low 40s.

It still looks like we may see some rain this weekend and early next week. Some computer models are indicating that the cut-off upper level low off the coast of California will move into the Big Country by Saturday. As I mentioned yesterday, these type of lows have had a tendency to move to our north lately as they approach the Lone Star State. Right now, I'm going with a 30% chance of rain for Saturday. That percentage could go up, down, or stay the same over the next few days. We'll continue to monitor the situation throughout the week and keep you updated.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
