Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* A very cold morning across the area with temperatures at or just below freezing in many spots. Freeze warning in effect until 9AM this morning. It will start off cold but a nice warm-up is in store for today. Highs will climb into the lower and middle 70s with sunny conditions. Tonight will be clear and not as cold with lows in the upper 40s to low 50s. It will be breezy during the day today with south winds between 15 and 20 miles per hour.

* We jump back into the 80s for tomorrow and Thursday before another front brings us back into the lower 70s for Friday. Overnight lows will remain mild.

* Rain Chances: The long-range models are painting a decent chance for thunderstorms across the area for late Saturday and into midday on Sunday. In fact this morning the run of the GFS model has a strong low pressure sweeping right over West Central Texas this weekend. With the setup, it would now be prudent to mention a chance for strong to possibly severes storms. We'll watch how things pan out over the next few days. I still think, and hope, it's an overnight event so we won't have a soggy Easter.
