Much Warmer Temperatures This Weekend

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are starting off this morning with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Some freezing rain, sleet and rain is moving through the southeastern half of the area at this time. This could cause some slick spots on bridges, overpasses and elevated objects. Give yourself plenty of time to get to your destinations this morning. There is a Winter Storm Warning in effect until noon for the Callahan, Coke, Coleman, Fisher, Haskell, Jones, Nolan, Runnels, Shackelford, Taylor and Throckmorton counties. Comanche, Eastland and Stephens counties are under a Freezing Rain Advisory until noon. Brown county is under a Winter Weather Advisory until noon. It looks like temperatures will get above freezing areawide by mid to late morning, so these warnings and advisories may be canceled before noon. Temperatures will warm up throughout the day thanks in part to winds from the southwest by this afternoon. Highs should be in the mid to upper 40s. The chances of rain will decrease through the day.

By tonight, it should be dry with partly cloudy skies. Temperatures look to remain above freezing with lows in the mid to upper 30s.

Much warmer conditions are expected this weekend with highs in the mid 60s on Saturday and the low 70s on Sunday. If you are planning a golf outing or outdoor activity this weekend, I would suggest Saturday since it will be windy on Sunday.

A cold front is expected to move through the area late Monday. Highs should be in the low 70s. There is a 20% chance of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be cooler with highs in the upper 50s.

Have a safe and fantastic Friday!
