Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Area of clouds over stretched across West Central Texas this morning so expect a mostly cloudy day with some sunshine peeking through the clouds occasionally. We should begin to thin the clouds some by late afternoon. Highs today will range between 60-65° areawide. Partly cloudy and turning colder tonight with lows in the middle to upper 30s. An area of low pressure will drift across the far northern Big Country later today and tonight while a cold front will move across West Central Texas. We could see an isolated shower over the northern, northeastern and eastern counties later today and tonight so I included a 20-percent chance of a shower for those areas. The rest of the area will remain dry.
* The Week Ahead: Expect sunny to mostly sunny conditions in the forecast for the week ahead. Temperatures will be mild during the daytime and cool at night. Highs in the 60s with lows in the 30s and 40s. A few weak fronts will move in during the week but with dry air in place no rain is expected.
* The Weekend: Mostly sunny and warmer as we head into the upcoming weekend. Highs will climb back into the middle 70s and overnight lows in the upper 40s and lower 50s. The weekend forecast for now looks to remain dry.
