From meteorologist Jason Myers.....


Temperatures across the Big Country have stayed in the 40s and upper 30s in the northern Big Country, yet lower 50s for Brownwood. Overnight temperatures will fall to around the freezing mark. With the possibility of light rain showers, freezing rain may happen by tomorrow morning. Fog will also be around, making traveling difficult. Monday and Tuesday will be cloudy with the chance for seeing freezing rain in the morning and evening hours. During the day drizzle and fog will be the may problems. A high pressure system in the Great Plains is pushing cold air into Texas. An approaching upper level disturbance late Tuesday will add to the lift in the atmosphere giving us the chance to also see a few flurries mixed in with the rain. The main concern will be traveling on wet roads when the temperatures fall below the freezing mark in the night and morning hours. Afternoon temperatures should manage to get into the upper 30s for locations in the Big Country during the Monday and Tuesday time-frame. Wednesday we'll start to see clearing skies with temperatures getting into the upper 40s. By Thursday and Friday, skies will be mostly sunny with a few clouds on Friday; high temperatures will be mild with highs in the lower 60s.
For now, make sure you take a little extra time when traveling Monday and Tuesday.

We'll keep you updated on the latest.
