Temperatures stay unseasonably warm across Central Texas today and tonight as strong high pressure remains parked overhead. Afternoon highs climb into the 70s and low 80s, and even after sunset the air stays mild, with overnight lows only dipping into the upper 40s to mid‑50s. Mid‑level clouds may squeeze out a few isolated sprinkles during the day, but most communities will stay dry.

Another upper‑level disturbance approaches on Tuesday, bringing a late‑day chance for showers. Aside from that brief window of rain, the pattern holds steady through next week: lows in the 40s and 50s and highs consistently in the 70s to low 80s.

Across the Austin and San Antonio corridor, partly cloudy skies accompany highs in the mid‑ to upper‑70s and lower‑80s today. Winds start out light and variable before shifting to the south this afternoon.

Nationally, the Weather Prediction Center continues to highlight a dangerous Arctic air mass gripping the eastern Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Mid‑Atlantic, and Northeast, with single‑digit and teen temperatures and wind chills plunging as low as 30 below zero in the Interior Northeast . Conditions there begin to ease early in the week. Out west, a Pacific system spreads lower‑elevation rain and mountain snow from the Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies, with the heaviest precipitation shifting into Oregon and far northern California wpc.ncep.noaa.gov. Much of the central and western U.S. remains warmer than average, with the northern and central Plains running 35–40 degrees above early‑February norms and some record highs possible Monday .
