Snap Back to Reality

Yes, it's still winter in case the last several days had you believing the calendar had already flipped to spring. Temperatures held steady in the lower 60s overnight ahead of a cold front, but the cold front is knocking on our doorstep and temperatures are beginning to drop. All of the dynamics with this front are well removed from our area and this has contributed to very little rainfall along the front (behind the front is a different story!). However, a few sprinkles or some light rain is possible, but most areas will remain dry. That's a good thing because the end of the week and the weekend look wet, wet, and more wet as we transition to an El Nino-like pattern. If you want a sneak peak, take a look at a radar around Central Texas.

In the meantime, today will be cloudy and cooler behind the front. In fact, we've hit out warmest temperatures of the day so far and the temperature will only drop through the 50s during the morning hours. By this afternoon, temperatures will be in the upper 40s to near 50 so it will feel nearly 30 degrees colder than the last couple of days! By this evening, clouds will continue to remain in place, but temperatures will still be dropping through the 40s. There is a chance that some rain could creep into the area just before sunrise tomorrow, but it will be of the liquid variety. It should be much colder with lows around 40 in the morning.
