One...Two....Punch

Mother Nature put together a pretty nice day outside. Sure, it was a tad cool, but with bright sunshine filling the sky all smiles here for the entire valley. Clouds are beginning to make their way into the Brazos Valley and eventually these clouds will offer us some rainfall. As of this afternoon cirrus clouds are crossing overhead. These are the type of clouds that are several miles up in the sky, pretty thin and are made out of ice crystals. Therefore, these clouds will not have any impact when it comes to our rain chances.

The same system throwing in the clouds our way will merge will another area of disturbed weather in the panhandle. These two forces will add in lift and thicken up the cloud cover here. By the overnight hours, we will go completely overcast with rain showers breaking out around 4am. Check out Exact Trac, painting the steadiest rainfall here around the morning commute tomorrow.

Make sure to bring your umbrella with you as you head to work. Wet weather will stick around until lunchtime, the the clouds will begin to clear the area and the second jab from Mother Nature will move in.

Overall rain totals will not be impressive, but any rain we get will certainly help out the long-term drought situation. By the afternoon, expect totals ranging from 0.10" to 0.20" or so.

The next punch comes from a cold front that will sweep though the region late tomorrow, allowing the wind to pick up and the cooler air to rush in.

Winter is trying to hang on as overnight lows Friday will fall into the 30s, with near freezing temperatures on Sunday morning. Yes, this all means the weekend will be chilly, but what do you know....another warm up is on its heels.

Despite the weekend hanging out in the 50s, another wave of energy comes though Monday. This will be our next round of precipitation and spark warmer air. By Valentines Day, we are back in the 70s.

As quoted from Meteorologist Joe Bastardi: "Enjoy the weather, because its the only weather we've got!"
