Looking ahead to Friday, you can anticipate cool and dry conditions, with lows dipping into the 30s and highs barely making it to the 50s. Make sure to bundle up if you have plans for a romantic evening out!
Rain: The Wild Card
As for rain, early Tuesday is set to bring some genuine chances for showers, but expect the gloom to lighten as the day progresses. That said, the rain isn’t completely done with us yet—late Tuesday evening looks like it could get interesting again due to an upper air disturbance. Forecasted temperatures for Tuesday are in the range of the 50s to low 70s, making it a great day for a quick stroll, but keep that umbrella close by!
Expect the Unexpected
This week, scattered thunderstorms could pop up late Tuesday through early Wednesday, and you might even see some small hail during this turbulent weather. The rain totals throughout the week are projected to be somewhere between 0.50 to over 1 inch, with some areas really feeling the pinch of Mother Nature! Keep an eye on your local forecast, especially if you live in western or southern counties where lower rainfall amounts between 0.10 inches to 0.50 inches are expected.
Prepare for Temperature Shifts
Once Wednesday rolls around, the warm temperatures in the 70s and 80s are soon to be challenged by that incoming cold front. Thursday morning could potentially see a light freeze in the Hill Country, so if you’re near those areas, it wouldn’t hurt to check in on your outdoor plants and make sure they’re snug! Some weather models are even hinting at the possibility of a wintry mix of rain and sleet Thursday, adding an intriguing twist to the weather story.
Valentine’s Day Vibes
