Cloud cover continues to thicken across North and Central Texas today as moisture deepens ahead of our next storm system. Afternoon highs will climb into the mid to upper 70s, running well above average for mid‑February. A few light showers may brush the Red River late this afternoon, but most of the region stays dry until late tonight.

Rain chances increase significantly after 3 AM, when scattered to numerous showers and a few thunderstorms move in from the west. Overnight lows will settle into the upper 50s and low 60s.

Saturday: Widespread Rain and Storms Return

Showers and thunderstorms become widespread early Saturday morning, spreading west to east throughout the day. Many communities east of I‑35 may not see steady rain until Saturday afternoon. Scattered showers and storms will linger into Saturday night before shifting east and clearing early Sunday morning.

Most areas can expect 0.5″ to 1.5″ of rainfall, with isolated pockets near 2 inches. A few stronger storms may produce small hail and gusty winds, but the overall severe threat remains low.

Sunday and Beyond

All rain exits late Saturday night, setting up a mild, breezy, and rain‑free Sunday. Temperatures rebound into the upper 70s and low 80s by midweek, with dry weather holding. Increasingly dry and breezy conditions may lead to an elevated fire danger by midweek.

San Antonio & Austin Region

Cloudy skies and patchy fog this morning will gradually give way to partly cloudy conditions this afternoon. Highs will soar into the mid‑70s to mid‑80s, running 10 to 15 degrees above average for February 13th.

Southerly winds return tonight, drawing Gulf moisture back into the region and keeping conditions mild and humid. Cloudy skies and patchy fog are likely, especially across the Coastal Plains.

Severe Weather Outlook

• Friday: A Level 1 of 5 severe risk for western Val Verde County, with a general risk of non‑severe storms across the southern Edwards Plateau and western Hill Country. Storms are most likely after 6 PM, with large hail and lightning possible.
• Saturday: A broader Level 1 of 5 risk covers much of South‑Central Texas, with the greatest severe potential Saturday afternoon and evening. Damaging winds, large hail, and lightning are possible.

Residents with outdoor plans should stay weather‑aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings.

National Weather Snapshot

A progressive, amplified mid‑level pattern continues across the country as a deepening trough lifts across the Plains and Midwest. A developing low over the Southern Rockies will track east‑northeast into the Lower Mississippi Valley, drawing abundant Gulf moisture northward. This setup will support widespread rainfall from the southern Plains to the Southeast, with embedded thunderstorms and localized heavy rain where training bands develop.

Parts of the ArkLaTex and lower Mississippi Valley face a marginal severe risk, while portions of the southern Plains carry a marginal to slight risk for excessive rainfall and flash flooding through Saturday.

Farther west, a frontal system from the Gulf of Alaska brings rain and mountain snow to the Pacific Northwest and Interior West, with snow chances expanding into northern California by Sunday.

Temperatures remain well above normal across much of the central U.S., running 15–30 degrees above average, with highs in the 60s, 70s, and even low 80s across parts of Texas. The Northeast stays closer to seasonal norms in the 30s and 40s.
