Central Texas residents can expect a calm and classic late-summer weekend, with mostly dry skies and seasonable warmth before a cold front shakes things up early next week.

KNCT’s trusted meteorologist Bill Hecke 🌤️ reports that Saturday begins on a tranquil note, with morning temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s and a gentle northeasterly breeze between 5 and 8 mph. Skies will remain mostly clear to partly cloudy throughout the day, allowing afternoon highs to climb into the mid to upper 90s. Winds will continue from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph, keeping conditions dry and toasty.

Sunday’s setup mirrors Saturday’s, offering another day of quiet skies and warm sunshine. While rain chances remain low, heat safety remains a priority—especially for outdoor events, sports, and travel.

But change is on the horizon.

A cold front is expected to arrive late Monday into Tuesday, ushering in cooler-than-normal temperatures and daily storm chances through the work week. Increased cloud cover and intermittent rainfall will help keep highs in the 80s and low 90s, offering some relief from the weekend’s heat.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service highlights several active weather zones across the country:

• 🌧️ Southeast Coast: A stalled surface front is producing scattered showers and thunderstorms, with a high-end slight risk of flash flooding along the Georgia coast due to saturated soils and enhanced rain rates.
• 🌄 Four Corners & Rockies: Monsoon moisture and embedded shortwave energy are fueling heavy rainfall across Colorado, New Mexico, and western Kansas, with slight risks for flash flooding in slot canyon regions of southern Utah and northern Arizona.
• 🔥 Western U.S. Heat Wave: An upper ridge is driving extreme heat across the Desert Southwest and Pacific Northwest. Daily high temperature records are likely, and overnight lows are staying dangerously warm. Heat warnings remain in effect from Arizona to Washington, with relief expected in California after Sunday—but not until midweek for the Northwest.

As Central Texas enjoys a brief window of calm, KNCT encourages listeners to stay hydrated, check on vulnerable neighbors, and prepare for shifting conditions next week. Whether you’re headed to a weekend festival or tuning in from home, we’ve got your forecast covered.
