Monday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

After a pleasant day with seasonal temperatures on Sunday, the work week began with cold temperatures and mostly cloudy skies. Highs only made it into the upper 30s to low 40s. There was a light mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow across part of the southern viewing area this evening.

We can expect the possibility of a light wintry mix through the rest of tonight and into the early morning hours tomorrow. After that, with temperatures expected to rise above freezing, any precipitation we see will likely be in the form of rain. Highs on Tuesday should reach the mid to upper 40s.

Lows Tuesday night look to be in the low 30s so any precipitation that we see could once again be a mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow.

Wednesday looks similar to Tuesday with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the mid to upper 40s. There is a chance for showers as well. The reason for our chances for preciptation the next couple of days is an upper level low that is sitting in northern Mexico near the New Mexico and Arizona border. It is expected to stall in that region through Wednesday before lifting to the northeast across the Texas panhandle Thursday and Friday. We could see some showers for the last two days of the work week, but that chance looks to be less than slight right now. Highs should be in the low 50s.

At this time, the weekend looks plesant with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid 50s. A cold front is expected to arrive Sunday night giving us colder temperatures for next Monday.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
