Monday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off chilly this morning with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. After warm and windy conditions yesterday, it looks like we will get a break today. Highs will be in the low to mid 60s with winds from the north-northeast at 5 to 10 mph. Tonight should be chilly, but not as cold as this morning with lows in the mid to upper 30s.

Warm and windy conditions should return tomorrow. Highs will likely return be in the low to mid 70s. Winds will be from the south-southwest at 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts. The fire danger will probably once again be elevated for Tuesday. A Fire Weather Watch is already in place for Knox, Stephens, Eastland, and Comanche counties for tomorrow afternoon. Even though we received some rain this past Friday night and Saturday morning, it isn't nearly enought for what is needed. We should continue to be careful and follow all the necessary precautions in order to prevent fires.

The roller coaster ride of temperatures will likely continue through the end of the work week. Cold fronts are expected to move through the area on Wednesday and Friday. Unfortunately, no rain is expected with either. Even though we will cool down behind these fronts, temperatures look to remain above average for this time of year through at least the end of the work week.

Have a magnificent Monday!
