More clouds than sun today with mild PM temperatures

East Texas (KLTV/KTRE) - Good morning, East Texas! Our Monday is starting off slightly chilly in the upper 40s and lower 50s with partly to mostly cloudy skies. Some patchy fog will be possible at times this morning, so be on the lookout during your morning commute and drive safely if you encounter lower visibilities in active school zones. Skies will partly clear later this afternoon, leading to some sunshine mixing in with the clouds with mild highs in the lower 70s. There will be a low-end chance for a brief light shower or a few sprinkles, though most of us will remain totally dry all day and won’t see a drop. We’ll have a bit more sunshine to enjoy throughout the day on Tuesday and Wednesday (Veteran’s Day) as well as slightly warmer weather with highs in the middle to upper 70s. A strong cold front is slated to move through East Texas on Thursday and while it won’t bring much rain our way, it will lead to much cooler temperatures for our Friday and for the weekend. Highs for Friday will mainly range in the 60s, then we are set to drop into the cold lower 40s for many by Saturday morning! Expect another round of 60s for Saturday afternoon, then we’re back down in the 40s for Sunday morning. Near-normal highs are expected for Sunday afternoon with highs in the upper 60s to near 70°. We really need more rain to offset our worsening drought conditions, but other than that, it is looking like a pretty good “November-weather” type of weekend!
