Pleasant Weekend Ahead for Central Texas

What a wild ride of temperatures throughout the past week. We saw record-warmth and also some of the coolest high temperatures we’ve felt so far this season. Temperatures will be warming up, but become more “normal” as we head into the weekend… But it’s looking like it’s going to be a stunning weekend for us in Central Texas. We’re expecting cold conditions to continue into Saturday morning. While we should remain above freezing thanks to cloud cover, temperatures will be down around the mid 30s tomorrow morning. There could be some light frost to develop depending on how much cloud cover sticks around, so you may want to protect any sensitive vegetation… And keep it protected as cold morning temperatures continue into the start of the work week. As far as afternoon highs go for Saturday, we should be back around the low 60s with a mix of sunshine and clouds throughout the day.

We will technically have a front slide through the area by Sunday, but it’s not going to bring us any cooler air for the afternoon. The front will essentially briefly bring back some northerly winds allowing those cold morning temperatures to continue. We’ll start out around the mid 30s waking up Sunday and with ample sunshine we should see highs rebound back into the mid 60s for the afternoon. Heading back to work and school Monday morning, get ready for another cold start to the day. Morning lows will be down around the mid to upper 30s. Heading into the new work week, we keep the seasonably cool conditions around. Highs on Monday and Tuesday will be down around the low 60s.

There looks to be a shift in our weather pattern and rain chances will start to return by the middle of the work week along with warmer temperatures too. Southeasterly winds will start to pump in more moisture and warmer air early in the week, which will help aid in rain as another front slowly approaches from the north. Morning lows will be back into the upper 40s by Wednesday morning and low 50s for Thursday and Friday. As those morning temperatures start to warm up our afternoon highs follow suit too. We should see highs back in the mid 60s on Wednesday, but climb into the upper 60s and low 70s by Thursday! As a cold front approaches scattered showers and maybe an isolated rumble of thunder will be possible Wednesday and possibly into Thursday and maybe Friday as well, but it depends on the timing of the front. Right now, it looks like the front may move in by the end of the work week, which will drop temperatures back down into the low 60s and potentially keep us that cool into the following weekend. Right now, there’s still uncertainty with the front timing, which impacts daily rain chances and also when exactly the cooler air moves in… There’s also uncertainty between our forecast models in how much rain will fall. We’ll keep you updated as we head into the new week, but for now, enjoy the pleasant weather that’ll be here for the weekend!
