General Discussion:
Strong to severe thunderstorms today over the eastern half of the state, with snow falling over the northern Panhandle. At the same time, cold air is spreading into Texas, in place this weekend into Monday morning before moderating. That said, it won’t be exceptionally cold – and not colder than previously experienced in December. A potentially stronger cold front around January 16-17 is going to be monitored next.

Today:
Increasing showers and thunderstorms over the eastern half of the state this afternoon, with the southern extent being around San Antonio. All four large metros have a rain chance today (continuing into tonight in Houston). Any of the thunderstorms that develop over the eastern half of the state today do have the potential to become strong to possibly severe, with large hail and strong winds being the primary threat. Snow will continue to fall over the northern Panhandle this afternoon before diminishing this evening. Showers and thunderstorms will move to the Coast by around midnight, exiting South Texas right around daybreak tomorrow. Temperatures this afternoon will still be above normal but not as warm as previous days, with exceptions in the South and Coast zones. 60s and 70s will be most common this afternoon, with warmer 80s South. 30s with snow over the Panhandle. Turning colder tonight, ranging from 20s in Northwest Texas to the 60s in South Texas.

This Weekend:
A few, light rain showers over South Texas this weekend, otherwise dry and colder. 30s and 40s for lows in the large metros (above freezing), 20s and 30s over West Texas, and 40s extending into South Texas. Afternoon highs will be mostly in the 50s and 60s. Sunday night into Monday morning will be the coldest period for most locations over the eastern half of the state, with Dallas-Fort Worth expecting a freeze heading into Monday morning.
