Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Patchy fog and drizzle across West Central Texas this morning. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the Northern Concho Valley and the Heartland into the mid-morning hours. Mostly cloudy out there otherwise this morning with temperatures in the 30s and very low 40s. Arctic cold front will move through the Big County late this morning and should be along and south of Interstate 20 around midday. I don't think we get much of a warming trend today so I'm keeping highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s across the area today. Decreasing clouds tonight, breezy and very cold with lows dropping into the upper 10s (teens) across all of West Central Texas.
* Tuesday & Wednesday: These two days will be the coldest for us across the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley. Highs will only be in the lower to middle 30s with lows middle and upper 10s. The colder spots could see even colder morning lows. Remember your cold weather safety tips (see graphic above) during this time frame. Expect a partly cloudy sky each day.
* Late Week/Weekend: Gradual warming trend will take place during the late week and the early part of the upcoming weekend. Highs on Thursday climb back into the middle 40s after a cold start in the upper 10s. Highs Friday will be in the mid 50s and upper 50s on Saturday. Overnight lows will range from the upper 20s to the middle 30s. We'll cool back down into the lower 50s on Sunday. Expect a partly cloudy sky each day with no rain chances anticipated at this time.
