Cold Temperatures On The Way

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off this morning with cloudy skies as well as showers and thunderstorms. By this afternoon, it was sunny and warm. Highs today were in the low to mid 70s.

A cold front moved through the Big Country this evening. Our temperatures will be much colder for the next few days. Mostly cloudy skies should return overnight and remain into tomorrow. Highs look to be in the low to mid 40s with windy conditions from the north-northeast.

It will be a cold Valentine's Day for us this year. Highs should be right around the freezing mark under mostly cloudy skies. There is a 30% chance of wintry precipitation. It will mainly be snow and some sleet, but freezing rain can't be ruled out for the southern portions of the viewing area. Accumulations, if any, look to be light right now. Looking at this situation overall, the temperatures should be cold enough and lift will be provided by the disturbances. The main question is moisture. At this time, I'm a little concerned that there may not be enough for us to see much more than a few flurries. There are no winter advisories or watches for the area at this time. We will continue to keep you updated with the latest on this next possible round of wintry weather.

There could be some lingering flurries or light snow showers Thursday morning as the disturbance moves out of the area. Skies will remain mostly cloudy with highs in the mid 30s.

Friday through Monday look dry with temperatures returning closer to seasonal averages.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
