Texas Weather Roundup: Cold Start, but Big Warm-Up Coming!

After a cold start to the morning in Texas, temperatures will respond upward nicely this afternoon. We expect high temperatures to reach the 60s and 70s statewide, not a bad rebound after most folks made it into the 30s overnight. Winds will be light out of the north before becoming more southerly. Any day in November when winds aren’t blowing at 30 MPH is a good day.

An increase in upper-level clouds will occur today across the western half of Texas. Those clouds will spread east tonight into Friday. No precipitation is expected. Above-average temperatures will return to the state this weekend, with highs in the 70s and 80s. South Texas may be back in the 90s. A cooldown for the northern half of Texas and an uptick in cloud cover statewide is expected early next week.

We may not see significant rain chances return to Texas until next Wednesday (the busiest travel day of the year, because why not?). That’ll be associated with a significant change in the upper-level weather pattern across the United States. A major storm system could impact the eastern United States from Thanksgiving Day through next weekend. For us in Texas? We’ll likely get a decent cold front out of it late next week, and there may be some precipitation chances. We’ll fine-tune the details as we get closer to Thanksgiving.
