Unseasonable Heat Holds Through Weekend; Rain and Storms on the Way

Unseasonably warm air will hold firm across Texas through the weekend, setting up a stretch of temperatures far above what late February typically delivers. Highs are expected to run 15 to 25 degrees above normal, creating a spring‑like feel across North and Central Texas while most of the region stays dry.

🌡️ Warmth Dominates Through the Weekend

A broad ridge of high pressure continues to drive temperatures into the 80s across much of North Texas, with mild mornings and warm, breezy afternoons. While the pattern stays quiet for most areas, a weak disturbance brushing the Red River may spark isolated showers or storms late Saturday into Sunday. Coverage will be low, and most communities will remain dry.

Key points for North Texas:

  • Highs 15–25° above normal
  • Mostly dry conditions
  • Low storm chances mainly along the Red River
  • Warm, mild nights

🌧️ A More Active Pattern Next Week

The quiet stretch ends early next week as a more unsettled pattern develops. Moisture increases beginning Tuesday, bringing rising rain and storm chances through the middle and end of the week. The highest chances for widespread rain are expected Wednesday through Friday.

Even with the return of rain, temperatures stay above normal, with highs in the 70s and 80s across much of the region.

What to expect next week:

  • Increasing rain and storm chances Tuesday
  • Highest coverage Wednesday–Friday
  • Continued warm temperatures

☀️ Central Texas: Austin & San Antonio

Farther south, the warm spell is even more pronounced. Today will be sunny and very warm, with highs ranging from the upper 70s to upper 80s. The warm pattern continues into next week, with highs climbing into the 80s and even 90s, and lows staying mild in the 50s and 60s.

Rain stays out of the picture through next Tuesday, with the first meaningful chance of showers arriving mid to late next week as the broader unsettled pattern spreads south.

Highlights for Austin/San Antonio:

  • Sunny and warm today
  • Highs in the 80s and 90s through next week
  • Dry through Tuesday
  • Rain chances return mid to late week
