Mostly Sunny, Mild

In advance of a potent trough moving through the Pacific Northwest, an upper level ridge will become established across the entire region today. At the surface, weak low pressure in eastern Colorado and high pressure across the Texas Gulf Coast will produce a breezy southerly flow with some gusts up to 25 mph this afternoon. This will result in a beautiful day with mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures. A few high clouds could pass across the area at times today, but these should stay mostly north of Amarillo. Highs this afternoon will top out around 69. Clouds will be thickening and lowering this evening as the trough digs into the Southwest U.S. Ahead of a cold front approaching the Panhandles, the combination of increasing clouds and southerly winds will result in warmer temperatures tomorrow morning with lows around 40.
