Cold Temps and Rain Incoming Tonight

Cold and Rainy Thursday

Mild Weekend Ahead

Today there will be a great divide between weather conditions between our eastern and western counties. Most east of the I-35 corridor will remain socked in clouds and patchy drizzle, keeping temperatures well below average. West of the I-35 corridor, partly cloudy skies and southerly winds will make for a pleasant day with highs climbing well into the 60s. Tonight, a cold front will swing through the area, causing temperatures to drop 20 to 30 degrees, especially across portions of the Big Country. Rain showers are also expected to develop ahead of this front across much of Central and Eastern Texas. A few isolated thunderstorms in the Brazos Valley can't be ruled out.

A relatively cold but mild weekend is forecast for Central and North Texas this weekend. It will start off with a below average Friday evening as temps dip down into the 40s. Then, a welcome warm up will come on Saturday with highs in the 60s, potentially even low 70s for portions of Central Texas. Our next cold front moves through Saturday night bringing highs back down into the 50s for Sunday. Fortunately, we look to remain dry through the weekend, so as long as it's not too cold for you it will be a great time to get outdoors and enjoy some sun and fresh air!
