A Little Rain Later This Week:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* A quiet morning across the Big Country with temperatures mostly into the 60s. A cold front continues to drop through the area and will bring brezzy conditions and cooler weather today with temperatures about 10° cooler than we say on Sunday. We ended up with middle 90s for highs on Sunday and told we'll see lower to middle 80s. Expect plenty of sunshine today, perhaps a few high clouds at times. A chilly night ahead with lower to middle 50s thanks to mostly clear conditions and lighter winds.

* This Week: The first of two cold fronts arrive today. Temperatures will remain into the 80s this week for highs and overnight lows into the 60s until the second cold front arrives in the Big Country on Thursday. There is a slight chance for some rain/storms with the next front, mostly for Thursday afternoon and night, perhaps early on Friday morning. This front will bring some cooler weather with highs back into the upper 70s by the weekend and lows into the 50s. Another chance for some rain with another front is just entering the picture for Sunday and Monday of upcoming weekend and into next week.
