Over the past week, some very healthy rainfall has fallen across central and south central Texas. One final wave of energy will be moving across the area late tonight into Thursday morning. This wave will generate some additional rainfall tonight for areas generally south and east of the Austin Metro Area (especially along the coast). Some patchy fog is possible across all of the area tonight, especially in areas where clouds begin to clear away. Lows tonight will be dropping into the 40s and lower 50s tonight. Official highs today came in at 56°F at Camp Mabry, 57°F at Austin Bergstrom International Airport, and 65°F at San Antonio's International Airport (they saw more in the way of sunshine today).
