Today’s cold front brings us warmer temperatures this afternoon!

Yesterday’s awful weather is thankfully mostly gone and we have no more yuckiness in the forecast for the foreseeable future! There’s a chance for some light drizzle or stray showers on Monday or Tuesday, but our attention turns to the increasing temperatures as we lead into Christmas. There are two cold fronts moving through over the next four days, but neither front will bring a huge or long-lasting temperature change.

The first cold front is set to move through today during the day! With yesterday’s humid air mass remaining in place this morning, we’re monitoring for the chance for more fog. The best morning fog chances come near and especially east of I-35 with out-the-door temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s. We’re kicking off the day with temperatures above our average high temperature and it’ll only get warmer from there when sunshine returns. The returning sunshine is from the arrival of a cold front which will shift our winds to come from the north. Today’s front pushes through around midday today with north winds gusting to near 25 MPH. The drier north winds push away the humidity which will help to clear the skies with returning sunshine being the reason for the warmer day today. The front, though, will still impact temperatures tomorrow. We’ll start the day Friday with morning lows in the mid-to-upper 30s, but a quick return of breezy south winds Friday afternoon will prop our temperatures up as we settle in the mid-60s for highs.

Friday’s south winds pull up a miniscule amount of moisture, but it will bring up warmth from South Texas. We’re forecasting a record high temperature on Saturday! The current record of 78° should be barely eclipsed with a forecast high of 79°. South winds remain gusty on Saturday too ahead of yet another cold front that’ll push in Saturday night into Sunday. Unlike the front moving through today, the weekend cold front may not make it all the way through the area, and some moisture will actually build in the atmosphere even after the front pushes through. We’ll shave off about 10° from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, but the quick return of moisture and south winds helps to send temperatures back into the 70s next week.

Santa Claus is certainly coming to tan, but there could be another few light sprinkle chances to kick off Christmas week. Both on Monday and Tuesday, cities and towns east of I-35 could see some drizzle or light sprinkles. High temperatures will settle in the mid-to-upper 70s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and on Christmas Day Thursday too with morning “lows” in the mid-to-upper 50s and lower 60s. Nearly every day will feature morning lows near our average afternoon high, but Christmas Day is the only day that may come close to a record high. It’s unlikely to be reached, but the record high of 82° isn’t too far away. For now, we’re seeing signs of a slight cooling trend in the few days after Christmas, but forecast model data is trending toward potentially even warmer temperatures next Friday and Saturday with highs in the lower 80s. Whether or not that happens is yet to be seen, but the there may be a temperature drop and potentially some steadier rain pushing through in the final days of 2025.
