Warm & Windy Conditions This Week

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a beautiful day across the Big Country except for the strong southwest winds. Those winds combined with the mostly sunny skies to give us highs in the mid to upper 70s. Most of the area was under a Lake Wind Advisory, Wind Advisory, or Red Flag Warning during the afternoon hours.

The warm and windy conditions look to continue tomorrow under partly cloudy skies. Highs will reach the low to mid 70s with winds from the west at 15 to 25 mph. With strong winds and warm temperatures again on Tuesday, the fire danger will be elevated so be careful.

A weak cold front, really more of a wind shift line, is expected to move through the area tomorrow as well as a weakening upper level low. With these two lifting mechinisms moving into the region, you would think that we have a good chance for rain. That is not the case however as we will likely have a lack of moisture. A shower or thunderstorm can't be completely ruled out late tomorrow and into Wednesday, but the chance is less than slight. Overall, mostly sunny skies look to dominate on Wednesday with highs in the low to mid 70s.

The well above average temperatures will continue on Thursday with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 70s.

Skies should turn partly cloudy on Friday, but highs will still manage to reach the upper 70s. It is not out of the question for a few locations to reach 80.

A cold front is expected to move through the area Friday night into early Saturday. There is a slight chance for rain during that time period. Highs for Saturday and Sunday will likely cool down into the mid to upper 60s.

Yet another cold front looks to move through the Big County next Monday cooling our temperatures back down into the 50s for highs with a slight chance for rain.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
