Good evening and Good Friday everyone! It's actually stayed a bit cooler than forecast, we'll probably end up in the low to mid 70s once again, but I'm not sure anyone is complaining, it's straight up gorgeous outside. It's also going to get downright hot this weekend, so enjoy these nice temperatures while we have them!

Overnight we'll cool down into the upper 40s and low 50s in the Basin and SE New Mexico. To our south, with the exception of the Marfa/Alpine area, things will likely stay in the low to mid 50s. Winds will flip around to the southwest tomorrow morning, and that will start a very quick warm up. Afternoon highs tomorrow will be in the upper 80s to low 90s with lots of sunshine. Tomorrow morning will be perfect for the Easter Spring Fling at UTPB. The egg hunt will see temperatures in the 70s, so nice and mild before things get hot and breezy by dinner time. Winds could gust to around 35 MPH tomorrow after lunchtime.

Easter Sunday looks even hotter, wouldn't surprise me if some spots get into the mid to upper 90s. We'll call it 92 here in the Tall City. Could be a little breezy on your way to Easter service in the morning, but I doubt you'll need a jacket at all.

Warm weather continues into Monday, but our next system also begins to move in, increasing our rain chances potentially as early as Monday evening. Better chances look to come Tuesday and Wednesday, with maybe even a few strong thunderstorms in the mix. Stay tuned, as we haven't gotten into range of our higher resolution models yet. It doesn't look like the best setup, but things could change, so we'll keep you posted.

Temperatures go back to the 70s in the wake of that system, but looking far ahead shows possibly another warm up, this time even warmer? We’ll see...
