West Texans awoke to humid and warm conditions as the last few hours of a passing cold front before strong winds from the north pushed cold, dry air across the region all day.
Clear skies and cold air allowed temperatures to reach into those lower 80s before dropping rapidly into the upper 40s tonight.
As we make our way towards that solar eclipse mid day Saturday, post frontal and cool conditions will settle in before warming, next week.
