It was a beautiful day to go outside with temperatures in the low 70s with full sunshine.  Tonight, we'll look for mostly clear skies and lows in the low 40s.  Winds will be southeast at 5-10 mph.  Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour as we lose an hour of sleep.

Tomorrow, look for mostly sunny skies with highs back to the mid 70s.  Winds will be variable at 10-15 mph with occasional gusts to 20 mph.  Fire danger will be slightly elevated tomorrow, even more so out west where the air will be a tad drier.  Be careful when using any welding materials. 

We'll see increasing clouds Sunday night with lows in the low to mid 40s.  Cloudy skies come in here Monday with a chance of showers.  Cooler temperatures will prevail with highs only in the upper 50s.

Our temperatures gradually climb through the rest of the week with another chance of showers coming on Friday. The first day of spring, March 20, looks cooler with highs only in the 50s.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

7-10 Day Forecast: A few chances of showers here and there will translate to rainfall staying near or below normal.  Temperatures will continue to be near or slightly below normal.

10-14 Day Forecast:   This period suggests some drier days with below normal temperatures.

SPRING FORECAST:  According to the Climate Prediction Center, temperatures will stay below normal and rainfall, above normal.  This is mainly due to an active El Nino pattern that looks to continue for the next few months.

 

Drought Monitor:  With all of the rain we've seen, you can imagine our fire season has been low, which is great! As of March 9th, no Big Country counties are facing a drought.
