A Cold Tuesday Morning

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

We had a cool start to our morning yesterday as showers and clouds moved through the Big Country already by early morning clearing was beginning and through the late morning everyone had cleared the showers. Although the sun began to peak through we still stayed chilly with the temperatures climbing to low 60's.

With the winds finally dieing down this morning temperatures are even cooler ranging from the upper 30's to low 40's with clear skies. We will stay chilly through the morning so grab the jacket; you may even need a pair of gloves to keep your hands warm on the cold steering wheel. Through the day today we will see sunshine with a few clouds by the afternoon. Winds are going to continue to filter in from the north bringing reinforcing cooler air, temperatures today will get into the lower 70's. Gusts could be up to 20 mph but not near as strong as the winds we say the over the weekend.

Currently an upper level low is being cut off just around the Arklatex region and this is going to be the main player in our weather over the next few days. Models are have a few scenarios for this system. If we stay on the west side of the system our winds will continue to bring in cooler air out of the north. Along with that on the west side we are in subsidence which is sinking air and will limit rain chances. Models have it moving a little further to the east today and tomorrow then retrograding back to the northwest on Thursday. I think this will be our only shot at rain mainly in our Northern counties as moisture could wrap around the system.
Temperatures will be in the upper 60's Wednesday and Thursday with lows in the mid 40's.

By the weekend the system will be pushed out to east and we will see temperatures around 70 with lows in the upper 40's.

Have a great day!
