As North and Central Texas settle into a stretch of above-normal temperatures, the weather story across the region is one of calm skies and climbing thermometers. A benign weather pattern overhead is keeping precipitation at bay, allowing for a dry and sunny week ahead.

In the heart of the Lone Star State, Austin and San Antonio, residents can expect mostly sunny skies with daytime highs ranging from the mid-80s to mid-90s. While these temperatures hover near seasonal norms for September 10th, the warmth will persist through the week, with only slight variations. According to KNCT Meteorologist Bill Hecke, “We’re kicking off the morning under clear skies, with temperatures ranging from the upper 50s to low 60s. As the day progresses, expect a noticeable warm-up. Sunshine will dominate throughout, accompanied by light winds shifting between the south and southeast at 5 to 10 mph. Afternoon highs will climb into the low to mid-90s.”

Looking ahead, the dry airmass will continue to hold firm across Texas, although forecasters hint at a subtle shift. Moisture may begin to creep back into the region later this week into early next week, potentially sparking a few showers or even a thunderstorm—especially in southern parts of the state.

Meanwhile, the weather narrative takes a wetter turn in Florida. The National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center has issued a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 4) of excessive rainfall over southeastern Florida through Thursday morning. A lingering front combined with tropical moisture pooling over the peninsula and the Central Gulf Coast is expected to fuel heavy showers and thunderstorms. Urban areas, small streams, and low-lying zones are particularly vulnerable to localized flash flooding.

Elsewhere across the country, a wave of low pressure over the Atlantic is streaming moisture into the Eastern Seaboard, bringing light rain as far north as New England. The southern tip of Texas may also see scattered storms through Friday, courtesy of Gulf moisture. Out west, an upper-level low over Northern California is stirring up light rain and embedded thunderstorms across the Northwest and Great Basin. By Friday, this system will push into the Northern Rockies and Upper Mississippi Valley. Wildfire smoke continues to impact air quality in parts of the Northwest, prompting alerts for sensitive groups.
