Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Patchy fog and low clouds out there this morning across the Big Country, Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley. Temperatures are well into the 20s this morning so don't be surprised to see some freezing fog in spots. The fog and low clouds will lift by the middle of the morning. Expect a partly cloudy day but still cool with afternoon highs ranging from the upper 30s into the lower 40s. A few clouds will still be in place tonight but another cold night ahead with lows in the lower to middle 20s. A northeast wind will shift southeast by this evening. A little midler for Tueday and Wednesday with highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s under a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky.
* The coldest air of the season is expect across the Big Country, Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley for late week and into the early weekend. An Arctic cold front will move into West Central Texas by late Wednesday night and into early Thursday. Very strong north winds behind the cold front will bring wind chills into the single digits and low teens Thursday morning as temperatures fall into the lower to mid 20s. An extended period of very cold temperatures into Saturday Morning. Highs are expected to remain below freezing Thursday and drop into the lower and mid teens ThursdayNight. Temperatures will struggle to rise above freezing on Friday before falling into mid teens again Saturday morning. Widespread wintry precipitation is not expected.
