Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Not so cold out there with lows in the middle/upper 40s and the lower 50s this morning. A nice day is ahead but clouds will be on the increase as we head into the afternoon. It will also be quite breezy into the day. Highs will climb into the lower 70s across the area.
* Strong cold front still on track to arrive overnight and into Saturday morning across the area. Good chance for a line of showers and thunderstorms along the front after midnight. Cold air will filter in behind the front and any lingering/wrap around moisture will change over to a rain/snow mix but no major weather related issues are expected. Temperatures will be much colder on Saturday with highs only in the middle/upper 30s across the Big Country and low 40s across the Northern Heartland and the Concho Valley. Saturday is also the first day of spring but it will not feel much like spring. In case your wondering the Vernal Equinox will occur at 12:32 P.M. CDT on Saturday. Temperatures will be in the upper 20s and lower 30s on Sunday morning so expect a light freeze across the region. Temperatures warm back into the middle 50s on Sunday.
* Next Week: A few clouds in the early part of the week with temperatures heading back into the 70s and lows back into the 40s. Shower and thunderstorm chances return by the middle of the week.
