Much Colder Temperatures This Weekend

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had a beautiful day across the Big Country. Highs were in the low to mid 70s which is well above average for this time of year.

Changes in our weather are occurring as I write this. A cold front is moving through the viewing area this evening. This will cause much colder temperatures for us tomorrow. Highs should only make it into the mid to upper 40s. That is about 25 degrees cooler than what we experienced today. Skies should be mostly cloudy with a bit of a breeze on Saturday. There is a slight chance of an isolated shower or sprinkle tomorrow as well.

We will likely see a warming trend beginning Sunday and lasting through much of next week. Highs should range from the mid 50s to mid 60s. Chances for rain do not look good during that time period with only a slight chance on Friday.

Some of the computer models are showing arctic air moving back into the country late next week. There are some indications that this air may be very close to us by the second half of next weekend. This scenario is still about ten days away. We will be keeping an eye on this and letting you know about it throughout the coming days.

Have a super Saturday!
