Warming Trend

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Temperatures only stuck in the lower 60’s despite the plentiful sunshine. Overnight was again a chilly one in some places, Brownwood getting down into the upper 20’s with our friends in Abilene staying in the 40’s.

It will be great week for all the kids who have this week off of school and want to get out and play! Today we should see a warming in temperatures that will stick around until Thanksgiving. This is because of an upper level ridge and a high pressure system at the surface is helping to bring in the southwesterly winds which in turn will warm us up. Along with the warmth we could see some gusty conditions today and tomorrow with winds getting up to 20 mph. Temperatures should stay around 70 for today across the region with a few degrees increase tomorrow to around mid 70’s and by Thanksgiving even seeing upper 70’s. Lows over the next few days should be just around 50 degrees. Plenty of sunshine will help with all the travel plans around the area and across the Western part of the US. However a Low pressure system off the Carolinas is causing some problems. Please pay attention for delays if your plans are leading you over to that neck of the woods.

By Friday our next cold front will push into the Big Country and bring us back to seasonal temperatures for the weekend. Highs will only be in the mid 60’s Saturday and Sunday. With our next system we should also be able bring in some moisture, although right now not looking like enough to cause any precipitation.

Have a great day!
