SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SETTLE ACROSS THE REGION
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
LEAD TO GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING TONIGHT. LOWS WILL FALL INTO THE
40S ACROSS MUCH OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS OVERNIGHT, EXCEPT ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST.
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT
WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE. HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE

THE LOW TO MID 40S ACROSS THE NORTHERN RANCHLANDS TO THE LOWER 50S
IN THE POPULATED PORTIONS OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES FARTHER EASTWARD BY FRIDAY ALLOWING A
WARMING TREND TO START AND CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND. HIGHS ON
FRIDAY WILL REACH THE LOW TO MID 80S WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER
TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY. A LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS MOISTURE INCREASES AHEAD
