Sunday's Forecast: Chilly start will give way to a mostly sunny, breezy, and warm afternoon with highs in the middle to upper 70s expected area wide. Clouds will increase from the west through the afternoon and into the evening ahead of a fast-moving low pressure system and a WINDY cold front that will blow through central Texas late Sunday into the early morning hours of Monday. There is a 50% chance for a skinny line of showers and thunderstorms to blow through the region as the front sweeps through. Rainfall accumulation will not be significant. Behind the front winds will shift from the southeast to the northwest and blow hard sustained between 15-25 mph with gusts as high as 35-40 mph likely. Those strong winds will persist through the day Monday allowing for cooler air to filter into the region. Therefore, highs will only manage the 60s on Monday under a mostly sunny sky. Another major snow maker is on the way for Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, and Kansas on Monday. Snow will extend as far south as Lubbock and northwestern portions of north Texas.
Forecast Highs on Sunday:
Breezy southerly winds on Sunday:
Monday's Weather Setup: As the low pressure and front move east, severe storms are possible along the Gulf Coast from Mississippi to Florida.
Future Radar indicates a fast-moving line of showers/storms will accompany the front:
Monday's Snow Impact Map: Provided by Meteorologist Steve McCauley
The FIRE DANGER will be very high on Monday behind the front as wildfires, if ignited, would be very difficult to control given the dry air and gusty winds. Temperatures fall into the 30s area wide Monday night with some low-lying areas receiving a light freeze.
COLD BLAST UPDATE:
The American Model is not showing a major blast of cold affecting us here in Texas for the end of next week, however, the European Model is still forecasting well below normal temperatures for next weekend with the coldest of the air affecting areas just east of Texas. We will have to wait and see.
