Thursday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday, it felt like spring. Today, winter came back with full force. With fog and overcast skies most of the day, we only managed to make it to the mid 30s to low 40s for highs.

Mostly cloudy skies should remain across the area tonight and through the day tomorrow. There will likely be some areas of fog overnight and into the morning hours Friday. Lows look to be in the upper 20s to low 30s Thursday night. If there is enough mist overnight, it is not out of the question to have a light glaze on elevated objects such as your car. Well above freezing temperatures are expected tomorrow as highs should make it into the mid to upper 40s.

The cold front that passed through the Big Country yesterday will remain stalled to our south and west on Saturday. An upper level disturbance looks to move through the area bringing us a 20% chance for rain. Highs will likely be in the upper 40s to around 50 under mostly cloudy skies.

The stalled cold front is expected to move back to the north on Sunday as a warm front. Mostly cloudy skies should remain with highs in the mid to upper 50s. There is a slight chance for rain for the second half of the weekend.

Our best chance for rain in the next seven days looks to be on Monday. A dryline and upper level disturbance look to move through the region that day. We have a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 60s.

A cold front should move through the region late Monday into early Tuesday. Arcitc air will be behind this front so well below average temperatures look to return. There is a slight chance for rain on Tuesday with highs in the low to mid 40s.

Wintry precipitation could return Tuesday night and into Wednesday. An upper level disturbance looks to move through the region at that time. If temperatures are cold enough, then we could see some snow or maybe some sleet during that time period. It is a situation that we are keeping a close eye on. We will continue to keep you updated on this.

Have a fantastic Friday!
