Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* We've got a cloudy and warm start to our Monday across West Central Texas. The clouds out there this morning will slowly decrease as the day progresses and we'll have sunshine back in full force by the early and late afternoon. Another warm day ahead with high temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Clear and colder tonight with lows dropping back into the lower 40s, with a few of the cooler spots possible dipping into the upper 30s.
* Early/Midweek: Expect a partly cloudy sky on Tuesday and Wednesday with temperatures remaining above normal for late November. Highs will climb into the middle 70s with overnight lows into the 50s Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Colder by Wednesday night with 30s back across the area. The strong cold front will arrive late Wednesday/early Thursday across West Central Texas bring in a much colder air mass to the region.
* Late Week: Mostly sunny and much colder on Thanksgiving across the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley. We'll start the day off in the lower 30s with highs later in the day only climbing into the middle 40s. A very cold night for Thursday night and for shoppers early Friday morning. Models take our lows down into the lower 20s and I do expect our colder spots to drop into the teens early on Friday morning. It'll be a bit warmer on Black Friday but still below average on temperatures with highs in the lower and middle 50s under a sunny sky.
* The Weekend: A slight warming trend will begin as we head into the upcoming weekend. Models bring our high temperatures back into the middle 60s with overnight lows around 30 for Saturday morning and around 40 for Sunday morning. No rain chances are expected.
