Unseasonably Warm Today:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Not so cool this morning as temperatures across the area are into the 60s. Expect a mostly sunny day today with breezy conditions and warm with highs today into the lower 90s. Clouds will increase tonight with lows in the lower 70s. Another warm day tomorrow before a cold front arrives in the afternoon. Expect mostly cloudy conditions and there will be a chance for a few thunderstorms. It looks like the best chance for a storm will be across the eastern half of the Big Country (we'll say U.S. 277 and eastward). A few storms could possibly be severe with high winds and large hail the main threats.

* With the front passage expect cooler weather with lows returning to the 50s and and highs in the upper 70s for the weekend. Clouds will increase on Sunday with rain chances returning for late Sunday and into the early partly of next week. A tropical system off the Pacific coast of Mexico is forecasted to lift northward and what's left of it drifting across northern areas of Mexico and into West Texas. This will increase the rain chance for the area. Stay tuned as we track this system.
