Look to the east-southeast(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The front itself is delivering a new air mass into the region that will push out the warmer air we had before and replace it with a much colder, denser air mass. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">This air was formed farther north, where December sun angles are lower and nights are longer, so it arrives pre-chilled. Once the front passes, temperatures drop quickly and winds will turn northeasterly and continue to pull in colder air through the evening and overnight. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Lows tonight\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/UZUPJRHJFBFIHJCCR6P3GTWDIM.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"552\" \/>Lows tonight(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">That steady feed of cold air keeps temperatures dropping instead of levelling off after sunset. By early Sunday morning many of us will wake up to temperatures in the 20s and 30s, and will feel even colder with the wind chill factored in. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Sunday doesn\u2019t offer much of a warmup. Very low clouds may linger through the morning, especially on the Caprock, this will block sunlight during the day and prevent temperatures from rebounding. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Highs tomorrow\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WHOVRYU7XJAUFMBVLQBSXSLR5I.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"548\" \/>Highs tomorrow(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Afternoon highs will struggle into the low to mid-40s. Which is a noticeable step from the near-record highs from the last few days. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The cold snap isn\u2019t expected to last long. Sunshine returns late Sunday, and by Monday, winds turn back to the south and temperatures rebound quickly. Highs climb into the 70s by mid week with dry skies holding steady. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">A weak front late Wednesday may cool things off but even that chill is short-lived, setting us up for another warm finish to the week. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"7 Day Forecast\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/YD3KSYFSPBDB3AW6L6QULUHGE4.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"557\" \/>7 Day Forecast(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 KCBD.
