Weather Forecast Details

General Discussion:
The very warm air will remain in place through Friday ahead of a strong cold front that will move through West Texas Friday night and the rest of the state on Saturday. 80s and 90s will be replaced by mostly 70s for highs from this weekend through the first half of next week. Temperatures will trend warmer late next week, but there are no signs of a return to 90-degree temperatures during the first half of April. There are two more rain and thunderstorm opportunities ahead. The first will be later today into tomorrow morning, with the second coming between late-Friday and Saturday. Both will bring rain chances to Texas' large cities.   

Today:
Again, not a lot different than yesterday. Most ERCOT locations will top out within a degree or two from yesterday’s high – leaning slightly warmer today, on average. Showers and thunderstorms will spread into the Panhandle and Far West Texas by late-afternoon, moving eastward. These storms will increase in intensity this evening, with several potential storms centered over the West zone (with greatest potential toward the north side of the zone). Storms will continue overnight, moving toward the I-35 locations before daybreak tomorrow morning. The models are most aggressive with precipitation in Central Texas late tonight/early tomorrow. 

Tomorrow:
A broken line of showers and thunderstorms is likely across North and Central Texas at daybreak tomorrow morning – including both DFW and Austin with good rain chances. The precipitation will move to East Texas (especially Southeast Texas) tomorrow afternoon, while likely diminishing in coverage and intensity. Temperatures tomorrow will be a bit cooler than today, but not present a big day-over-day change.
