Drier and Cooler To Start The Week; More Rain By Week’s End.

TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy across the area. High temperatures will range from the low 50s north of US-278 to the upper 50s along and south of US-82. Northwest winds will blow at 7-15 mph gusting as high as 20 mph. Temperatures drop overnight close to the freezing mark under partly cloudy skies.

TUE/WED/THU: Mostly sunny to sunny skies through mid-week. We stay dry and a bit chilly, with highs in the upper 40s and low 50s. Overnight lows will drop into the 20s Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with lows above freezing on Thursday night.

FRI/SAT/SUN: A low pressure system will traverse from west to east across the gulf coast, bringing rain in our area north of the low. This track will keep any chance for severe weather well to our south along the coast, but it could still lead to some heavier rain across parts of our area. While systems like this one do occasionally produce winter weather in the deep south, it does not appear we will be cold enough here to see anything other than a cold rain. Rain showers will start Friday, especially Friday afternoon and evening. The bulk of the rain falls Saturday, with some lingering showers Sunday. High temperatures during this period will be in the 40s and 50s, with lows in the upper 30s and low 40s.
