A Frost Watch is in effect this evening, and dry and cool conditions are expected to persist through the weekend. Cool and crisp today The cooler air mass that has settled into the region has brought a stark contrast to yesterday’s heat, with temperatures today dropping to 25 to 30 degrees. Gusty northeast winds will add to the cold, particularly during the morning hours, before calming in the afternoon. Highs will remain moderate under a mix of mid- and high-altitude cloud cover. Frost Watch Tonight As skies clear this evening, the setup could lead to an excellent radiological cooling event, with light winds and a surface high pressure system overhead. However, uncertainty remains due to the potential persistence of cloud cover in certain regions. Clear Skies: Areas without cloud cover are likely to see temperatures drop below freezing. Cloudy Skies: Areas under persistent mid-level clouds, especially in the Concho Valley and Big Country, may remain just above freezing. Forecasters are monitoring the situation closely and a frost warning could be issued if cloud cover clears as expected. Weekend Outlook Friday: After a cold start to the day, high temperatures will range from the mid 50s in the north to near 60°F in southern areas under partly cloudy skies. Saturday-Sunday: A brief warm-up is expected Saturday with temperatures reaching the 60s under mostly sunny skies. By Saturday evening, a backdoor cold front will bring slightly cooler temperatures on Sunday, especially in the Big Country, where highs will hover around 55 to 60°F.
