Pleasant Weekend Ahead

Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi here...

Get ready for some beautiful weather this weekend across the Big Country.

We will feel the affects of a cold front Saturday night, the only problem is, it won't be much of a cold front. Afternoon highs will only drop down to the middle to upper 70s on Sunday. By Monday, most areas will be back into the lower 80s.

This cold front will also arrive dry. There just won't be enough moisture for any rain chances unfortunately.

Our next cold front is scheduled to affect the Big Country late Tuesday. This front at this point in time looks to pack a little stronger of a punch. Possibly knocking high temperatures down to near 70. As with the front Saturday night, this one looks to arrive dry as well.

Open hunting season on white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey kicks off Saturday. Unfortunately, with the lack of cold weather it looks like opening weekend will not be perfect. I'm sure you can ask most hunters though and they'll tell you they don't mind too much.

With the dry spell we've had, once we get a good hard freeze, I expect hunting season to pick up in a hurry. The questions remains, when will we get that freeze?
