Friday Evening Update

From Meteorologist Nathan Motz......

After freezing rain, sleet, and a few snow flakes impacted the Big Country over the last few nights, warmer conditions are expected as we head into the weekend.

Afternoon highs will quickly warm into the 60's tomorrow and into the lower 70's by Sunday and into Monday. Drier conditions will also prevail from tonight through at least Monday.

On Monday night and into Tuesday morning, a cold front will move through the area, lowering high temperatures back into the upper 50's to near 60 but the frontal passage is expected to be dry at this time.

By next Thursday, another cold front and upper level storm system will move near enough to us to introduce a slight chance of rain. Right now, it appears that the bulk of the precipitation will remain well off to the east and north but this system will bear watching as we head towards the end of next week. With the frontal passage, temperatures will fall back into the low to mid 50's with low's in the low to mid 30's.

Have a great weekend!!
