Forecast Discussion:
One more above
average day in store for central Texas before some refreshing changes arrive on
Thursday in the form of a cold front and some low end rain chances. We officially
climbed to 93°F this afternoon at Camp Mabry missing today’s record high of
94°F set all the way back in 1947 by one degree. The airport missed their
record high of 93°F set back in 1993 by one degree as well topping out at 92°F
this afternoon. Keep in mind, “normal” for this time of year is closer to 82°F.
Wednesday's Outlook:
One more day of
summer-like heat with temperatures in the 90s on your Wednesday before changes
arrive. Afternoon highs Wednesday may stay a degree or two “cooler” thanks to
the likelihood of morning clouds hanging on a bit longer. Given a more moist
southerly flow, morning sprinkles and/or light rain showers will not be out of
the question with a lingering chance of an isolated/widely scattered afternoon
rain shower or brief thunderstorm along and east of the IH-35 corridor.
Thursday Morning Cold Front:
The much
anticipated cold front is set to arrive Thursday morning with a slight chance
for a few brief showers. The main story behind the front on Thursday will be
the breezy/gusty north winds and the significantly cooler conditions. North
winds on Thursday are forecast to be sustained out of the north between 10-20
mph with gusts as high as 25-35 mph possible. Given the passage of the cold
front, highs on Thursday will only manage the upper 70s/lower 80s across the
area.
Fantastic Weekend:
Much cooler and
drier conditions will settle into the area Friday through the upcoming weekend
with afternoon highs expected to be in the upper 70s/lower 80s and overnight
lows in the 40s/50s. Lower 50s expected right in Austin Saturday morning. It’s
going to feel great!
