AUSTIN (KXAN) — The worst is behind us now with daytime highs heading back up each day, but night time lows will still leave you reaching for a jacket.
A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY replaces the Extreme Cold Warning for Lampasas and Milam Counties. It goes into effect at midnight.
Cloud coverage will remain party cloudy throughout the day today. A west to south wind during this day will help warm the air back to the 40s with a few at 50°.
This will allow for much of the remaining ice to melt.
Another round of sub-freezing temperatures will greet early risers Wednesday morning.
The warming continues for the middle of the week as highs Wednesday reach the lower half of the 50s. Maximums Thursday get close to normal as highs peak in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Next cold front
A cold front is hurrying to get to Central Texas. Earlier forecasts had the front arriving Friday. This morning’s maps show this front passing the Austin area late Thursday afternoon, then clearing out of southern Caldwell, Fayette, and Hays Counties by 8 p.m.
The front will come through dry with only increasing clouds.
Colder air settles in for the weekend with Saturday being the colder day. Mostly lows Saturday morning will be in the lower half of the 20s. Sunday morning will be colder with minimums in the mid/upper teens to low 20s.
Long-range forecasts are hinting at a few showers one week from today…
