A strong cold front has swept through South-Central Texas, bringing a significant 20-25 degree temperature drop. Cloudy skies, breezy conditions, and a chance of light rain or drizzle are expected today, mainly in the Hill Country and along the Rio Grande. However, the cool-down will be short-lived, with temperatures rebounding into the 70s by Sunday and climbing back into the 80s and 90s by early next week. Another front is expected to bring the potential for more meaningful rainfall to the region by the middle of next week.
Why it matters
Dramatic temperature swings and changing weather patterns are common in South-Central Texas, but this cold front represents a notable shift from the recent warm and dry conditions. The rapid temperature rebound and return of rain chances will impact outdoor activities, agriculture, and energy usage in the region.
The details
The cold front arrived overnight, ushering in much cooler air. Highs today will range from the mid-50s in the Hill Country to the 60s and low 70s elsewhere, a 20-25 degree drop from yesterday. Cloudy skies and breezy northerly winds are expected through the morning, with a chance of light rain or drizzle, mainly in the Hill Country, Southern Edwards Plateau, and along the Rio Grande. Conditions should improve by the afternoon as the clouds thin and winds ease.
