Cooler Temperatures On The Horizon

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another pleasant day across the Big Country with sunny skies and breezy south-southwest winds. Highs reached the low 70s. Today was the warmest day we have had since early January, which was the last time we had temperatures in the low 70s.

Wednesday looks to be another comfortable day with above average temperatures. Highs should reach the upper 60s to around 70. Enjoy it because a cold front is expected to arrive in the late afternoon hours. With this front moving in, we should see partly cloudy skies return.

Thursday and Friday look to be dry with partly cloudy skies. Highs on both days will likely be in the low to mid 50s. This is about 15 to 20 degrees cooler than what we have experienced so far this week.

The cold front that is expected to pass us by on Wednesday should remain stalled to our south and west this weekend. Some upper level disturbances look to head our way Saturday and Sunday. There is a 20% chance of showers. Highs should be in the upper 40s to around 50 under mostly cloudy skies.

Monday looks to be the day when we have our best chance for showers and even thunderstorms. That chance is 30% right now, but could increase as we get closer to that time period. The reason for our increased chance of precipitation is due to the stalled cold front moving back north as a warm front and the dryline possibly making it into the area. Highs on Monday look to be in the mid 50s.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
