Cool Temperatures Remain

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

A strong cold front moved through the Big Country last night. It brought us some rain and the coldest temperatuers we have had so far this fall season. Highs were in the upper 50s to low 60s. Windy conditions were also felt across the area today with wind gusts as high as 35 to 40 mph from the north-northwest.

Tonight looks to be the coldest night of the fall season so far with lows in the mid to upper 30s. It will feel even colder than that with winds from the north-northwest at 5 to 15 mph. If you have any pets or sensitive plants, you may want to bring them inside tonight. While I am not expecting a freeze, it will be cold.

Cool temperatures are expected to be with us tomorrow through Thursday due to a cut-off upper level low developing and remaining close to the region. The low will be in the Ark-La-Tex area tomorrow before retrograding. It should be in southern Oklahoma/north Texas Wednesday and early Thursday. There is a slight chance of rain late tomorrow and a 20% chance of showers Wednesday and Thursday. Highs should be in the upper 60s on Tuesday, the low 60s on Wednesday and the mid 60s on Thursday. Lows will be in the low to mid 40s.

The low is expected to move away from the area during the day on Thursday. This will lead to dry conditions for Friday and the weekend. It should be warmer as well with highs in the low 70s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
