Forecast Discussion: Thursday brought warmer, sunny weather across Southeast & Central Texas, allowing for the warmest day in nearly a week after a massive Arctic weather system left Texas cold and powerless. Temperatures reached the 50s and 60s areawide Thursday afternoon across the Brazos Valley. For those that love the colder weather, the warm air doesn’t last long, as our next round of Arctic air moves through the Lone Star State. The Eastern United States likely finds an Arctic mess of snowy and icy conditions, but here in the South, we have a very cold (and different) story.
Our next Arctic cold front moves into the Brazos Valley arrived Friday evening, bringing blustery, windy weather to begin the upcoming weekend. Temperatures fall into the upper teens to middle 20s Saturday and Sunday mornings, with the latter becoming the coldest day of the weekend for the Brazos Valley. Either way, a couple nights of hard freezes are expected through the upcoming weekend. Be sure to drip your faucets and bring in your outdoor pets Friday and Saturday nights. This latest round of Arctic air will be very cold, isn’t expected to bring icy or snowy weather to the Brazos Valley. Saturday is expected to be very cold, with highs in the middle-to-upper 30s areawide. Temperatures rebound to the 50° mark Sunday afternoon, with highs moving back into the 60s next week. Highs near the 70° late Tuesday before a rain chance arrives Tuesday night and temperatures cool midweek.
5-Day Weather Outlook: Friday: High 51. Low 26. Mostly Sunny, Cooler. Saturday: High ↓ 38. Low 18. Sunny, Very Cold. Sunday: High 50. Low 31. Sunny, Cool. Monday: High ↑ 64. Low 48. Mostly Sunny, Warmer. Tuesday: High 68. Low 45. Mostly Cloudy. 20% Chance/Rain.
