The week of change

Good Morning, From Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly….

It was a beautiful day across the Big Country yesterday as high temperatures reached the mid 60’s. However it was a very chilly start for a few kids going back to school with lows in the mid 20’s. A weak front is passing through the Big Country; this will bring a small drop in temperatures, but bring a wind shift out of the North. This will help us keep temperatures a few degrees cooler than yesterday however still above average by 5 degrees. Overnight we will keep the temperatures cool, but continue to see above average readings reaching upper 30’s.

Tomorrow we will be back into the mid 60’s with plenty of sunshine and lows will in the mid to upper 40’s. This is because we are brining in some more moisture along with plenty of winds, with gusts during the day and night up to 25 mph out of the South/Southeast.

Thursday the clouds will be building and rain chances could begin that evening with a few disturbances rolling through. Temperatures will still stay warm that day, again in the mid 60’s with overnight lows just around 50 degrees.

The weekend is bringing BIG changes to the Big Country. An artic front should push through overnight Friday dropping temperatures, going from mid 60’s Friday to mid 40’s for highs Saturday. Along with that lows will be in the mid 30’s overnight Friday and drop to mid 20’s Saturday night. Sunday and Monday highs should only reach the mid 30’s. We are keeping precipitation chances on the board through the weekend and into Monday, however how much and what kind, will greatly depend on how cold we get and how much moisture will be readily available. This is still 5-7 days out and we will be keeping you updated with the latest.

Have a great day!
