Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* A very cold start for this Friday morning with temperatures in the upper 30s and lower 40s. A mostly sunny day is ahead with temperatures a little warmer with our afternoon highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Tonight will be mostly clear but not as cold with overnight lows in the middle 40s. Weather looks great for Friday night football games around the Big Country, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley.
* Weekend: A nice Saturday but we'll start to see the winds picking back up out of the south. This will warm us up into the upper 70s and maybe near 80 in a few spots. Saturday night temperatures will drop into the middle 50s. Temperatures drop back into the lower to middle 70s on Sunday. A weak cold front arrives late Sunday and early Monday. There is a slight chance for a few showers with the front.
* Next Week: A major cold front will arrive by the middle of next week. Models the last few days have been advertising a major cold blast working down from Canada across a large part of the country. This morning the models bring the coldest of the air into West Central Texas around Halloween. The freezing line will be in the area so a good chance that there could be maybe a little "frost on the pumpkin and everything else." Let me again say this far out on the models is "voodoo land" so we'll see how things pan out the next few days. Just be advised it could be a lot cooler late next week. Stay tuned...
* First Freeze Dates: The average first freeze of the fall season for most of us is in the early to middle part of November. Here are just a few of the dates as reported by the San Angelo National Weather Service: Abilene - November 12, Coleman - November 13, Brownwood - November 13, Ballinger - November 9, and Rotan - November 12.
Models are looking very interesting for next week. The last few runs are hinting at a pretty strong cold blast working down across the country including here in Texas. It looks like this may be the first major "Blue Norther" of the fall season as the models show much cooler air in here late next week. The models show some moisture in the area too.
