Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Starting the morning out with temperatures in the 20s across West Central Texas but another very nice day ahead with daytime highs once again ranging in the lower to middle 50s. Expect a mostly sunny day. As we head into the night, clouds will slowly be on the increase and we should be mostly cloudy by daybreak on Wednesday. Overnight lows a bit warmer tonight with lower to middle 30s.
* Mostly cloudy on Wednesday ahead of the next system that will bring the first good rain event to the area for 2010. Highs on Thursday in the upper 50s. A low pressure center will drift across Texas by Thursday bringing a decent rain chance for the Big Country, Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley from Thursday and into Saturday morning. The best rain chances will come Thursday night and on Friday for the area. Temperatures should be cool enough at the end of the rain event on Saturday morning for there to possible be a wintry mix or light snow but this will be brief and not last long as temperatures warm up later in the day on Saturday. Daytime highs cool back into the lower to middle 40s for Friday and cold Friday night with temperatures at freezing.
* Weekend: Decreasing clouds on Saturday but still some lingering moisture in the area early in the morning. Highs on Saturday climb into the middle 40s with an overnight low into the lower 30s. Sunday looks nice with a partly cloudy sky with highs back into the middle 50s. Another cold night Saturday night with lows in the lower 30s.
* The Winter Outlook: The Climate Prediction Center indicates a moderate El Niño pattern continues to bring West Central Texas a wetter pattern here in the winter months. Increased wintry precipitation is possible depending on temperature trends. Equal chances of above or below normal temperatures remain possible for the area.
