Feeling Like Mid-June

A spell of hot 90s brings a sweltering start to our Mother's Day weekend. Two weak fronts will head our way, possibly stirring up a few brief storms prior to a slight Sunday cooldown.

The first cold front nears from the north late this afternoon and may not even completely make it through the area as it runs out of forward speed, possibly acting as the focal point for more clouds and spotty storm development later today -- there's a slim 20% chance. As it appears this first front will now linger in the area, we'll keep the 20% rain chance in our Saturday forecast, too. But don't expect much change in temps! We'll be within a few degrees of the record high for the date: 96 degrees.

Mom's Day... The second cold front will dive out of the Rockies and move into Central Texas early Sunday morning, we think, with just a brief 20% rain chance early on Mother's Day. Morning skies should clear as a drier breeze enters from the north. As a result, we'll see more sun the second half of the weekend, and high temps will likely range from mid to upper 80s. Still above normal!

Rain Needed... As we look closer at next week's weather, the upper-air pattern becomes favorable for a "cut off" low to develop in the southwest that'll slowly move up to Texas by midweek. These slow-moving southerly storms sometimes bring several days worth of a rain chance -- something we need! Check back here this weekend for updates to the 8-day forecast.

Enjoy your Friday and have a fantastic weekend.
