Warm Start To Workweek

From meteorologist Jason Myers......

Another warm day across the Big Country. Sunday's high reached 80 degrees at 3:48 p.m., after a morning low of 45 degrees. The warm temperatures have all been due to high pressure giving us mostly sunny skies, and a southerly flow of warm air. Clouds will start to move into the Big Country Sunday night into Monday morning, so we'll see some partly cloudy skies on Monday. Temperatures will remain warm Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with highs in the low to mid 80s.
A cold front moves through West Central Texas Wednesday night into Thursday morning. A few towns north of I-20 may see some thunderstorms Wednesday night, yet the best chances for seeing any rain will be Thursday and Friday.

There is no active tropical storms to worry about, and hurricane season ends November 30th.

Severe weather broke out early Sunday morning around 2 a.m. killing about 22 people in Evansville, Indiana after an F3 Tornado went through a manufactured-home park. Over 200 people were injured. Even though tornado warnings were given, many people died because the tornado came through quickly at night while most people were asleep. Something we can learn from this situation is the importance of having a NOAA weather radio in your home with an alert that sounds when severe weather statements are issued for your county.

So to wrap everything up, warm weather will persist for the first part of the week followed by more seasonal temperatures Thursday into next weekend.

Have a great week!
