4:30 p.m. Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

Winter officially arrived today with the Winter Solstice occuring at 12:30 p.m. Now, you'd think with winter arriving, colder weather would arrive as well. Being we are in Texas, we just have to do things different. Temperatures will climb all the way back into the middle 70s Friday afternoon.

A cold front will arrive Friday night knocking afternoon highs on Saturday and Sunday (Christmas day) back down to near 60.

This pattern of above average temperatures and dry weather looks to hold strong through the next 7 days at least.

For those of you interested in the timing of Santa's arrival into the Big Country this weekend, don't forget to watch the KRBC News Saturday night at 6 and 10 p.m. as I break out the Triple Doppler SANTA TRACKER!!!
