Much Cooler, But Still Windy

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are starting off colder this morning with temperatures in the mid 30s to mid 40s. Winds are breezy from the north right now, but by this afternoon it should be windy. Winds are expected to be sustained at 15 to 25 mph with gusts of 30 to 35 mph. We will be much cooler today with highs in the mid to upper 50s. Our fire danger remains elevated today, so please be careful out there. Comanche, Eastland and Stephens counties are under a Red Flag Warning and Wind Advisory through this afternoon. Critical fire weather conditions are expected in those areas today.

High fire danger will remain areawide Wednesday and Thursday due to strong southerly winds. Highs will range from the upper 60s to low 70s during this time period.

A cold front is expected to move through the area on Friday. This will cool us down a bit with highs in the mid to upper 60s. It looks like we will not see any precipitation out of the front.

We will bring in a slight chance for rain Saturday afternoon through Monday due to an upper level trough that may affect the area. Highs this weekend should be in the upper 60s to low 70s. A cold front is expected to move through the area on early Monday. This will cool our highs down to the low to mid 50s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
