Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Clouds in place across the area this morning so not quite as cold as expected. On this busiest shopping day of the year expect a mostly cloudy sky, breezy and warm with highs near 70° for the area. Clouds remain in place tonight with lows only dropping into the middle and upper 40s.
* Weekend: Mostly cloudy, breezy and warm on Saturday with highs in the lower 70s and mild for Saturday night with clouds still around and overnight lows in near 50° for most of us. A cold front will arrive on Sunday bringing a 50% chance for rain to the Big Country, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley. Cloudy and cool otherwise with highs holding in the lower 50s.
* Next Week: Clouds and showers, not to mention cool weather will remain in place for next week. There is still a chance for rain on Monday with cloudy sky still in place. We're going to have to keep an eye on Monday night and Tuesday morning as some moisture will still be in the area as temperatures flirt at freezing and just below. For now just expect a cold rain but we'll continue to monitor the situation in the even wintry precipitation could affect the area. Temperatures in the middle to upper 40s for highs throught Tuesday, warming into the lower to middle 50s by the middle and late week. Lows at night pretty much into the 30s.
* 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.
