(Sunday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 136 PM CST Sat Feb 22 2025

After an extended period of below normal temperatures, above normal
temperatures are expected for the first part of next week. Highs on
Monday will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s for most locations with
overnight lows in the 40s. Tuesday looks to be the warmest day,
across much of the area, as a weak cold front stall across the Big
Country. Highs to the south of the weak cold front will be in the
low to mid 80s, with mid to upper 70s across the Big Country, behind
the front.

An upper level trough will track across the Northern Plains Tuesday
night into Wednesday morning, sending a strong cold front through
West Central Texas Wednesday afternoon. Highs on Wednesday will be
cooler across the Big Country, where an earlier frontal passage is
expected, generally in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Highs elsewhere
will be in the mid to upper 70s, while overnight lows drop into the
mid 30s to lower 40s. Highs on Thursday will be close to seasonal
normals, in the mid to upper 60s. A steady warm up is then expected
into next weekend with highs next Saturday approaching 80 degrees.

return to all terminals by the late morning/early afternoon.
