Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Still a decent amount of clouds across West Central Texas this morning but things are clear to our west and northwest across the Permian Basin and the South Plains. The clouds will continue to thin out from west to east today. The good news is we'll see the sunshine return today and we'll also get temperatures warmed up out of the 30s. We should be mostly sunny to partly cloudy by afternoon with highs in the middle 40s. Some clouds will return tonight but we'll still be chilly with lows dropping into the middle 20s. Warmer weather on Friday with highs back into the lower and middle 50s under a partly cloudy sky. Clouds will be on the increase tomorrow night with lows in the lower 30s.
* Weekend: A system working across the Big Bend area and into the Northern Edwards Plateau/Concho Valley could squeeze out a stray shower a little south of the I-20 corridor on Saturday. Otherwise we'll be mostly cloudy over the area with highs in the middle 50s. Partly cloudy and warming into the lower 60s on Sunday. Lows each morning in the middle to upper 30s.
* Next Week: Still warm on Monday with highs in the lower 60s under a partly cloudy sky and dropping into the middle 30s Monday night. A cold front will move into the area on Tuesday lowering highs back into the lower 50s for midweek and overnight lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s. A few clouds will be around for the middle of the week. Models are still not in agreement with how cold the air mass will be for us across West Central Texas but we'll continue to advertise the cooler pattern for next week.
