Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Clear and cool this morning across the area after the cold front has passed through last night. Expect a sunny day ahead for the Big Country, Heartland, and Northern Concho Valley with highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s for most areas. Clear and cold weather expected for tonight with lows in the upper 20s and lower 30s, so most of us will see a freeze.
* Thanksgiving Outlook (Wednesday - Friday): Looking sunny to mostly sunny for the next few days ahead. Expect a freeze for Wednesday morning and possible another one come Thursday morning. Another cool day for Wednesday with highs in the lower 60s. Sunny and pleasant for Thanksgiving with highs in the lower to middle 60s. Temperatures will be in the middle 30s for early morning shoppers on Friday but we should warm into the middle 60s in the afternoon.
* Weekend & Next Week: Clouds will be on the increase for Saturday with highs near 70 back into the picture for afternoon highs. A decent front is forecast to arrive by Sunday bringing some rain chances back into the forecast for Sunday and into the early part of Monday. Another surge of cool air is indicated on the long range models behind this front for early next week.
* Winter Outlook: The Climate Prediction Center indicates a moderate El Niño pattern is taking shape and will bring West Central Texas a wetter pattern for the winter months. There is also a chance for increased winter precipitation depending on temperature trends. Data suggests equal chances of above or below normal temperatures, so more than likely the numbers will remain near normal for this time of year.
