A Chilly Morning

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

It has been a cold and dreary weekend as fog and drizzle has blanketed the Big Country. Some of this activity has turned to freezing as temperature hover around the 32 mark. Right now most counties remain under a Freezing Rain Advisory in effect until noon today. Knox is the only county under an Ice Storm warning.

Warm moist air continues to override a shallow cold airmass at the surface because of this we will continue to see mist and showers across the area. This activity is mainly in the form a light freezing rain, mist and fog this morning. As temperatures warm we will continue to see activity but should change to rain after noon. Temperatures through the day should warm to the mid 30's. This evening we will again drop down to right at freezing and once again there will be the chance to see the frozen precipitation.

Tomorrow temperatures should begin to warm so we should see just rain throughout the area. Tomorrow night another shot of cold air will filter into the Big Country. Depending on how cold we can get the layers there will be the chance to see a wintry mix of precip from Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Wednesday afternoon through the weekend we should begin to clear the clouds and see a gradual warm up in our highs getting eventually into the low 50’s.

Be careful on the roadways, especially bridges and overpasses or any elevated surface.

Have a great day!
