Temperatures will be warm this evening ahead of a cold front. Behind the cold front a cooler air mass will result in low temperatures ranging from the 40s northwest to lower 60s southeast.

A cold front Monday morning will bring cooler temperatures Monday and Tuesday before the next warming trend begins midweek.

Hot weather is on the way this weekend, with temperatures forecast to close in on the triple-digit mark across the Rolling Plains this Sunday. Here are the earliest 100 degree days at select towns across our forecast area.

Chances for thunderstorms return to the forecast next weekend across the Caprock and Rolling Plains. This week will be a good time to review your safety plans for outdoor activities in case storms strike. Remember, a storm does not have to be severe to produce dangerous lightning. When thunder roars, go indoors; if you see a flash, dash inside!
