Old Man Winter Returns
You remember last week when temperatures were in the 70s and it felt like spring had come early? Mother Nature is going to remind us this week that it is still winter! A very strong cold front will be diving south into the region by Thursday morning. Ahead of the front, we may see a few thunderstorms and brief heavy rain. Behind the front, it is going to turn much, much colder. We are talking about temperatures barely in the 40s for highs on Friday and overnight lows down into the 20s for several mornings. There is also a potential for wintry weather to our north along the Red River, but at this point, we expect the rain to end before temperatures hit the freezing rain. However, any change in the storm path or temperatures could bring the wintry weather closer to Central Texas.
The bottom line is that cold weather is returning so dig the jackets out of the closets and add an extra blanket on the bed. — First Alert 25 Meteorologist Conley Isom
