Mostly Sunny, Pleasant

The strong shortwave trough and associated rain shield that affected the region yesterday is slowly rotating eastward across the Permian Basin. The Panhandle region will experience deep layer subsidence today in the wake of this system and as high pressure builds in from the north. As a result, clouds should dissipate shortly and allow for an abundant supply of sunshine after 9 a.m. Highs will top out around 58. North northwest winds will be breezy today with some gusts up to 20 mph possible. Another disturbance will approach the area from the north tonight, but there will be no moisture to work with. Therefore, skies will be mostly clear with light winds and dry air, which should allow lows to dip down to 32 tomorrow morning.
