Wednesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a warm day for us despite the clouds that we had throughout the morning and early afternoon. Highs were in the upper 70s to low 80s. Winds were strong from the south-southwest. There were reports of blowing dust and dirt in the western portions of the viewing area.

A cold front will move through the Big Country tonight bringing cooler temperatures to the area for tomorrow. No precipiation is expected with the front. Windy conditions will remain with us tonight and into the day tomorrow. Winds should be west-northwest at 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts. There are Lake Wind Advisories in effect for most of the area tomorrow so you may want to put off any trips to the lake. With low relative humidity values also expected tomorrow, Red Flag Warnings are in effect for every county in the viewing area except Knox and Stonewall. Please do all you can to prevent fires. Highs for Thursday look to be in the low to mid 60s.

Another cold front on Friday should reinforce the cooler air already in place. It will be another dry frontal passage for us. Highs look to be in the upper 50s to low 60s under mostly sunny skies.

Below average temperatures will remain on Saturday. Highs should be in the mid to upper 50s under mostly sunny skies.

Sunday through next Wednesday look dry with a gradual warming trend.

Have a terrific Thursday!
