SHORT TERM...
After our prolonged winter storm across the region the past few days 
today has been quite pleasant with sunny skies and much warmer 
temperatures. Upper level ridging and surface high pressure are in
place across the area which will keep our weather quiet within 
the short term. What snowpack we had across the area has been 
rapidly diminishing this afternoon with only a small patch of 
widespread snow across the southwest Texas Panhandle which may 
help to keep temperatures on the cooler side. Tonight, with clear 
skies and light winds temperatures should plummet across the 
region with most locations bottoming out near the freezing mark. 
With so much moisture the past few days this may allow for some 
patchy fog to develop around the area early Friday morning. If any
fog does develop it will mix out by mid morning leaving us with 
another pleasant day. Temperatures should warm into the 60's by 
the afternoon with mostly clear skies and light southerly winds.

LONG TERM...
Quiet weather anticipated for the next week out in these parts.
Zonal flow returns for Friday before a honest trough passes north
of us around sunrise Saturday morning. This will drive a frontal
boundary through the region Saturday evening. Temps will rise into
the 70s for most locations on Saturday afternoon before falling
10-15 degrees for highs on Sunday. However, with broad
northwesterly flow across the region early next week, temperatures
will rebound into the 70s by Tuesday. A detached disturbance 
across SRN California looks to shift into the region by mid-week 
with some potential to drive a weak front into the CWFA early 
Thursday morning. In general, dry and (other than a cooler Sunday)
slightly above seasonal temperatures is the expectation.
