SOME LOW-LYING AREAS POTENTIALLY FALLING INTO THE LOW 30S EARLY
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNING.
- A BRIEF FROST IS POSSIBLE ACROSS LOW LYING AREAS OF WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS SUNDAY MORNING.
SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1242 AM CDT SAT OCT 17 2026
TEMPERATURES ALREADY DOWN IN THE 40S JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT THIS
MORNING, GIVING A GOOD INDICATION OF JUT COOL THIS AIR MASS IS.
WIND SPEEDS HAVE DROPPED OFF CONSIDERABLY AND THIS TREND SHOULD
CONTINUE INTO THE DAY TODAY. NOT GOING TO ARGUE WITH THE NBM HIGHS
THIS AFTERNOON, BUT DID UNDERCUT LOWS TONIGHT A LITTLE. WET SOIL
AND A LITTLE HIGH CLOUDS WILL KEEP AN IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING
NIGHT FROM DEVELOPING, BUT ITS STILL GOING TO BE A COOL NIGHT. NBM
WAS SIGNIFICANTLY TOO WARM IN SIMILAR SITUATION LAST WEEK SO
GOING A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER FOR SUNDAY MORNING SEEMS APPROPRIATE.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1119 PM CDT FRI OCT 16 2026
AFTER A COLD START TO THE MORNING ON SUNDAY, TEMPERATURES WILL
STEADILY WARM WITH HIGHS FORECAST IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70. ANOTHER
