A strong cold front accompanied with showers and thunderstorms are expected to reach the I20 corridor around midnight Friday and the I10 corridor just before sunrise Saturday. High temperatures on Saturday will range from 37 to 40 degrees across the Big Country and the mid and upper 40s across the remainder of west central Texas.

The strong north winds and the chilly temperatures will result in wind chills in the 20s and 30s on Saturday. Along with the precipitation, this drastic change in weather will likely produce stress on livestock, pets, and tender vegetation.

By Sunday morning, most temperatures across west central Texas will be at or below the freezing mark. Freezing temperatures are also possible Monday night mainly along and south of a line from Sterling City to Brownwood.

Friday will be a good day to make final preparations to prepare for the upcoming change to colder temperatures.
