WEATHER REPORT: COOLER, WINDY MONDAY

Monday's wind blew over this pole by the Thrift Store. (Photo by Felix Pantoja)
The weather was cooler this past week than it was the week before when highs were in the sixties, but nothing like the record colds they’re getting in the northern states this week. Compared to what’s going on in places like Minnesota and Chicago, it’s downright balmy here in west Texas.

Monday morning had the highest winds we’ve seen in Roscoe for some time, though. A blast from the north blew in with high winds reaching 35mph with gusts up to 50mph. The winds snapped one telephone pole on Cypress and blew one into a permanent lean behind the Thrift Store on Broadway. They abated somewhat on Monday afternoon, but were still strong enough to be unpleasant.

Otherwise, the weather was generally unremarkable with highs in the fifties (except Sunday which reached 60°) and lows in the twenties or thirties. The high for the week was Sunday’s 60° and the low for the week was Friday morning’s 22°. Yesterday’s high reached only 44°, and there was no precipitation to speak of for the week.

The forecast for today is similar to yesterday—mostly cloudy and cool—with a high of 52° this afternoon. Starting tomorrow, though, the weather is going to be noticeably warmer with highs of 66° tomorrow and Friday, 70° Saturday, 75° Sunday, 73° Monday, and 71° Tuesday. Skies will be cloudy or partly cloudy until Monday, and there will be wind, with the windiest days being tomorrow and Sunday.  Winds will be from the southwest from tomorrow until next Wednesday.

Any measurable precipitation in the coming week is highly unlikely.
