Warmer, dry weather will continue for the next couple of days, but colder weather is in the offing later in the week, continuing into the weekend.
Here is the latest weather discussion from the Austin/San Antonio National Weather Service:
A PAIR OF SHALLOW ARCTIC COLD FRONTS LATE IN THE WEEK WILL LEAVE
THE REGION COLD AND DAMP. IN THE MEANTIME, A WARMING TREND IS IN
THE OFFING FOR THE 1ST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK AS SUBTROPICAL
RIDGING ALOFT COUPLED WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW IN THE LOWER
LEVELS WILL RAISE TEMPERATURES TO ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS. THIS TREND
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY. GFS AND ECMWFMODELS CONTINUE
THEIR AGREEMENT ON BRINGING FIRST ARCTIC SURGE IN EARLY THURSDAY
WITH MUCH COLDER DAYTIME READINGS TO FOLLOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
HAVE UNDERCUT BOTH DAYTIME GUIDANCE HIGHS AND LOWS FROM THURSDAY
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING AS SHALLOW ARCTIC AIRMASS HARD TO RESOLVE
ON MODELS. SHALLOW OVERRUNNING MOSTLY LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL
BEGIN FRIDAY AS LOW LEVEL WINDS SHIFT INTO THE SOUTH, THEN A
SECOND ARCTIC SURGE SATURDAY NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY WILL CONTINUE A
COLD, DAMP OVERRUNNING RAIN PATTERN. AT THE PRESENT TIME,
PRECIPITATION SHOULD STAY IN LIQUID FORM.
