Significant Warming This Week

Highs today will struggle to get out of the low 50s across the area behind a cold front.

Clouds will clear out tonight, with winds transitioning to the southwest and remaining light. Temperatures will still be cold, but a bit warmer than this past morning.

Southwesterly winds will become breezy Tuesday, with plentiful sunshine. The dry breeze and sunshine will yield an elevated fire weather danger Tuesday afternoon.

An upper-level high pressure system will nose its way into West Texas during the middle of the week and into this weekend. Very warm to even hot temperatures are forecast to arrive Thursday and beyond, with no rain in sight.
