Wednesday Evening Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a beautiful day here in the Big Country with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. We did have breezy southwest winds this morning, but that has now changed to strong northwest winds this evening due to a cold front that is passing through the region. Unfortunately, we will not see any precipitation with this front.

We will start off cold in the morning with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. It is mainly in the western and northern portions of the area where temperatures will get to freezing. Be sure to take care of your pets and plants. Highs tomorrow should be seasonal with highs in the low to mid 60s.

An upper level low that is currently sitting around the Baja California region should weaken and move towards us as an upper level trough. This will bring us the chance for rain beginning Friday night and continuing through early Sunday. The chance for rain is 20% to 30% with the best shot being on Saturday. That is day that we will also see another cold front move through the area. Highs during this time period should be in the mid 60s to low 70s.

The first half of next week looks dry with highs ranging form the upper 50s on Monday to the mid 60s next Wednesday.

Have a terrific Thursday!
