Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* A bit chilly out there in spots across the Big Country but temperatures will be warming up today thanks to a south and southwest wind. At one point this morning Dyess AFB had dropped down to 32° before warming back up. Several spots have dipped into the 30s before warming back up as the winds start to pick this morning. Abundant sunshine for the day ahead but the winds will be up from the southwest by afternoon which will warm us into the middle and upper 70s across the area. A cold front is expected tonight and a few clouds are possible along the front with lows dropping into the upper 30s/low 40s. A much cooler day ahead on Tuesday with daytime highs across the area into the lower 60s.
* Thanksgiving: Expect sunny to mostly sunny conditions the rest of the week ahead. Looks like a freeze is possible Wednesday morning and Thursday morning. Another cool day for Wednesday with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s. After the same deal can be expected for Thanksgiving on Thursday. 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: Clouds will be on the increase for Saturday with middle 60s 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 day on Monday. Another surge of cool air is indicated on the long range models with 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.
