🌬COLD FRONT WATCH🌬
8/19/2025 - Is it going to get cold? NO! It's August, for crying out loud! However, below average temperatures are looking more favorable for the August 25-September 2 timeframe! Currently, the Climate Prediction Center is giving the KLBK forecast area anywhere from a 0-50% chance of seeing temperatures below their seasonal averages for this time of year! We'll keep an eye on the latest trends over the next several days, but cooler air could arrive as soon as Monday of next week!
