Wednesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The early taste of spring continued here in the Big Country today as temperatures were well above average for this time of year. Highs were mainly in the mid to upper 70s. We were able to have another warm day because the cold front that was expected to arrive by mid afternoon didn't get here until the late afternoon and evening hours.

Tomorrow will be much colder than what we have had so far this week. Highs should be in the upper 40s to low 50s. That is about 25 degrees colder than what we had for highs today. It looks like our sky will be mainly mostly cloudy, but could be partly cloudy at times.

Partly cloudy skies should remain on Friday with highs in the low to mid 50s. There is a slight chance for rain Friday night.

A slight to 20% chance for rain continues Saturday and Sunday due to a couple of upper level disturbances moving through the area. Highs on both days look to be in the upper 40s to mid 50s under mostly cloudy skies.

The cold front that passed us by earlier today will be stalled out to our south and west for the second half of the week. That front looks to move back to the north late Sunday and into Monday as a warm front. It is on Monday that we have our best chance for showers and even some thunderstorms. That chance is 30% right now, but may increase as we get closer to that time period. Highs to start the next work week should be in the upper 50s to around 60.

Cold air looks to take hold over the region again on Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the mid 40s to around 50. There is a slight chance for rain the middle of next week.

Have a terrific Thursday!
