Monday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a cold start to the day across the Big Country this morning with lows mainly in the low to mid 20s. With plenty of sunshine, a dry airmass, and southwesterly winds, we had no problem warming up into the upper 50s to mid 60s for highs.

A weak cold front should move through the area late tonight and early tomorrow. This will cause cooler temperatures for us Tuesday with highs in the mid to upper 50s. No rain is expected with this front.

We will likely return to above average temperatures Wednesday through Friday. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 60s. Windy conditions should be in the area Wednesday and Thursday. Moisture will return Thursday and Friday. There is a slight chance of rain Thursday night and a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms Friday.

A cold front is expected to move through the Big Country early Saturday. This front will have arctic air behind it so cold temperatures are very likely this weekend and early next week. On Saturday, highs look to be in the mid to upper 40s and that will occur early in the day. It is possible that we may not get out of the low 30s for highs on Sunday and Monday. We have a 30% chance of rain on Saturday which could change to freezing rain, sleet, or maybe even snow Saturday night. There is a 20% chance of freezing rain, sleet, or snow Sunday and Monday due to some upper level disturbances moving through the area. It is still too early to tell exactly what we will see. The winter weather possibility is still 5 to 7 days away and a lot can happen between now and then. It is something that we are keeping a close eye on and will continue to keep you updated throughout the week.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
