A warm start to the week settles in today, with afternoon highs climbing into the upper 70s to mid 80s and a mild night ahead in the mid 50s to lower 60s. The pattern stays active but not particularly wet over the next few days as a weak cold front and an upper‑level disturbance move through Tuesday into Wednesday. Light rain showers are possible at times, though totals look minimal—generally under a tenth of an inch—and temperatures remain above normal despite the frontal passage.

Attention then turns to the approaching weekend, when another upper‑level storm system and the next cold front bring a broader chance of showers and thunderstorms. It’s too early to pin down the severity potential, but confidence will increase as the system organizes later in the week. Even with the added rain chances, the overall temperature trend stays warm through next weekend.

Across the Austin and San Antonio region, fog develops early across the Coastal Plains before lifting around 9 AM. Partly cloudy skies follow, with highs in the lower to mid 80s and warm conditions continuing through the week. Rain chances return late Tuesday into Wednesday and again Friday into Saturday.

Nationally, the Weather Prediction Center notes lingering lower‑elevation rain and mountain snow across the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies today, with the next Pacific system shifting the focus to California on Tuesday. That system spreads rain and high‑elevation snow eastward into the Great Basin and central Rockies by midweek. A clipper system brings wintry precipitation from the Upper Great Lakes into New England early in the week, while showers and thunderstorms develop ahead of a cold front stretching from the central Appalachians into the Southwest.

Much of the central and western U.S. continues to run warmer than average, with the central Plains seeing highs 35–40 degrees above early‑February norms. Even areas behind a passing cold front remain mild for this time of year. The eastern U.S. begins to moderate after a bitterly cold weekend, with temperatures climbing steadily through midweek.
