The Cooling Trend Has Begun

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

A cold front moved through the Big Country this morning, which will cool temperatures down from what we saw yesterday. Highs should be in the upper 50s, which is what we average this time of year. Clouds are expected to decrease throughout the day. By tonight, it will likely be mostly clear with lows in the mid to upper 20s. You will want to protect your pets, plants, and pipes with these below freezing temperatures. Tomorrow should be a nice day. Mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 50s are expected.

It still looks like things could be interesting for this weekend. Much colder air may settle in beginning Friday and last into early next week. A few upper level disturbances are expected during that time period as well. The first of these should be here late Friday into Saturday. The second looks to affect us on Monday. Depending on how cold it is and whether or not we have enough moisture in place will be the two main factors that determine if we see just rain or wintry precipitation. In these type of situations, everything has to play out just right in order to see snow or even ice. You'll want to continue to stay tuned throughout the week as we get closer to these time periods.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
