Warm and Windy Start To The Week

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are starting off mild this morning with temperatures mainly in the mid 50s to low 60s. There are a few locations such as Brownwood that have managed to drop down to the mid 40s. The reason for the difference in temperatures is the wind. In Brownwood, winds are light from the south-southwest. In the other parts of the area, winds are stronger from the south-southwest. Overall today, everyone will be warm and windy. Highs are expected to reach the upper 70s to mid 80s. Winds will be strong from the southwest at 15 to 35 mph. A cold front is expected to move through the region during the mid and late afternoon hours. This will shift our winds to the northwest at 15 to 35 mph. No rain is expected with the front. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the entire area today. This means there will be critical fire weather conditions throughout the area. Please be careful and don't do things like throw cigarette butts out of the window of your vehicle.

Tomorrow will be much cooler and breezy with highs in the mid 50s to 60 under mostly sunny skies.

Wednesday looks dry with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Warm and windy conditions should return Thursday with highs in the low to mid 70s.

A weak cold front looks to move through the area on Friday. This will cool us down a bit with highs in the mid to upper 60s.

An upper level low may send some disturbances our way this weekend. We could see some showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms. The chance will be slight on Saturday and 20% on Sunday. Highs look to be in the low to mid 60s.

Have a magnificent Monday!
