Overview
- After Friday's cold front, many Texas locations recorded their coolest mornings in months with lows in the 40s and afternoon highs only in the 60s and 70s.
- Forecasters say a strengthening high-pressure ridge will produce a steady warm-up early next week with widespread highs in the 80s and upper-80s by late week.
- Most local forecasts show only isolated or slim rain chances of roughly 10–20 percent through the coming week, leaving large areas dry.
- The rapid temperature swing has caused everyday effects for residents, including low tire-pressure warnings from cooling air and a temporary relief for outdoor events such as the State Fair.
- The National Hurricane Center is separately monitoring a developing nor'easter off the Carolinas with about a 30 percent seven-day development chance and coastal hazards there but no expected impacts to Texas.
