COOL DOWN on the way!

Happy Earth Day!

Keep this in mind: "We treat this world of ours as though we have a spare in the trunk"




I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Click HERE for a neat write up on Earth Day by CNN.

TUESDAY COLD FRONT & RAIN CHANCES:

Just finished scanning all of the latest computer models and they are all singing a similar tune. The latest run of the NAM Model shows Tuesday's cold front arriving between 1-3 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. Ahead of the front temperatures will climb well into the 70s area wide with a few locations, especially south and east of Austin, nearing 80°F. Warm, humid southerly flow will persist Tuesday morning allowing for widespread low clouds and patchy areas of drizzle.

Cold Front at 3 p.m. (Knocking on the door step here in Austin) Check out the temperature contrast on either side of the front! Temps will be in the 90s across deep south Texas with temps in the 70s and 80s here in central Texas. Temps will be in the 30s, 40s, and 50s across the rest of Texas!




As the much cooler air mass behind the front interacts with the warm, moist air over central Texas, there is a 30% chance for a few showers or thunderstorms to accompany the front as it arrives, however, the rain chances are not all that impressive. There actually looks to be a better chance for some rain showers behind the front. Temperatures will plummet into the 50s and 60s behind the front Tuesday afternoon on breezy northerly winds. Lows fall into the 40s area wide Tuesday night/Wednesday morning with a northerly breeze helping to make it feel even colder.

Temps on Wednesday will struggle to get out of the 50s as cool northerly breezes persist and widespread cloud cover will keep temperatures from warming. A few locations may climb into the lower 60s by late afternoon. Light rain showers possible through the day from time to time. 

FORECAST CLOUD COVER: 90-100% cloud cover on Wednesday
