AM Fog, Afternoon Sunshine & Warmth:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* We have areas of patchy fog across West Central Texas this morning so give yourself a little extra time heading to your morning destinations. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for portions of the KRBC viewing area. The fog should burn off by late morning.

* The good news is after days of cloudy and gloomy weather the sunshine is back! Of course with the sunshine comes the heat. A stationary front that is having an identity crisis will lift northward as a warm front today so expect unseasonably warm temperatures by afternoon with highs near 90° for most of us. Some clouds will remain in place tonight with mild temperatures as we drop into the lower to middle
60s. The front will be back tomorrow morning as a cold front which will bring in cooler weather for the late week and into the weekend. Highs tomorrow in the middle 70s.

* Weekend: Cooler and drier air will be in place for the area so a pretty nice fall weekend for the Big Country, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley. Highs will average from the upper 60s to lower 70s and lows at night in the upper 40s and lower to middle 50s. Mostly sunny but some clouds will return toward early next week.
