A weak cold front is making its way through Central Texas today, bringing seasonably cool conditions and a slight chance of rain. Any precipitation that does develop is expected to be light, with totals ranging from a trace to about a tenth of an inch. Skies will trend partly to mostly cloudy through the day, with temperatures reaching the upper 60s to low 70s. Winds will shift between 5 and 15 mph, adding a gentle breeze to the fall atmosphere.

In the Austin and San Antonio areas, breezy conditions and scattered showers are possible, especially over the eastern half of the region. Highs will vary from the upper 60s to lower 80s depending on cloud cover and location.

Tonight, skies will clear across much of the region, allowing temperatures to dip into the upper 30s to mid 40s in Central Texas, and into the mid-40s to mid-50s in the Hill Country and I-35 corridor. A few clouds may drift in from the north toward sunrise.

Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday Morning

Don’t forget—Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday. Be sure to set your clocks back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night. This annual time change also serves as a timely reminder to review your family’s safety plans: replace batteries in smoke detectors and alerting devices, and practice fire drills and severe weather sheltering procedures.

Looking Ahead: A Warmer, Drier November

The November outlook for South-Central Texas leans toward warmer and drier than normal conditions. While the month typically brings more frequent cold fronts and the first widespread freeze, current forecasts suggest a significant warming trend. Highs are expected to climb from the low-to-mid 70s this weekend into the low-to-mid 80s by next Friday. Overnight lows will remain seasonably cool, generally in the 40s and 50s. Rain chances peak today, then drop off significantly for the rest of the week.

National Weather Snapshot

Elsewhere across the country, the Pacific Northwest is bracing for heavy rainfall as an atmospheric river and cold front move ashore. Rainfall totals could reach 3 to 5 inches in the Cascades and Olympic Mountains, with flash flooding and river flooding possible. Snow is also expected at higher elevations.

In the East, a departing cyclone will leave behind lake-effect precipitation and cooler-than-average temperatures through Monday. Meanwhile, the western U.S. will experience above-average warmth, with some areas nearing record highs. Dry and breezy conditions in parts of the Rockies and Plains may elevate fire weather concerns.
