EXTENDED FORECAST - A few showers are trying to bring some light rain to the southeast Texas panhandle this morning but totals will be less than impressive thanks to all that dry air at the surface. Clouds are going to clear today from west to east helping our temperatures rebound back into the 50s this afternoon. Our next cold front will arrive tonight spilling frigid air into the South Plains for the remainder of the week. This front will bring some gusty winds with it. Winds on Thursday will be in the 20-30 mph range and could gust up to 55 mph. Winds could fall within wind advisory criteria so be sure to secure loose items in your yard before going to bed tonight. With highs only expected to be in the 30s and 40s, wind chills could stay below freezing for many Thursday before a gradual warm up heading into the weekend. Wind chills will be at their worst Friday morning likely in the single digits once you open the front door so put that coat on before you head outside Friday morning.

Milder temperatures are expected this weekend as highs will reach for the 60s both Saturday and Sunday ahead of what looks to be our next potential weather maker early next week. While we are still 5 to 6 days out, models show fairly good agreement that we might be soggy to start next week. Temperatures do not look to be very cold next week so leaning towards the precipitation type being a chilly rain if moisture does come to fruition. A lot can change between now and then but as it stands, the Climate Prediction Center has placed the High Plains in a 50% chance of being above average for precipitation between the 14th and the 18th. This may not be a big rain maker but thoughts are more than 1/10 of an inch will be possible with higher totals favoring Central and North Texas.
