.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 300 AM CST Sat Nov 9 2024

The cold front that moved across the local area during the day and
evening yesterday is now exiting the middle Texas coast. In the wake
of the frontal boundary, a cooler airmass has been spreading across
south central Texas for the last 18 hours or so. Overnight lows are
expected to drop down to the lower to mid 40s across the southern
Edwards Plateau and western Hill Country while the rest of the local
area reaches the upper 40s to lower 60s across the coastal Plains.

The Nighttime Microphysics satellite channel shows cloudy skies
across the eastern two-thirds of south central Texas between 3kf and
4kf just above the shallow cooler airmass. These clouds are expected
to linger for most of the morning period with partly cloudy skies
expected for this afternoon. High temperatures are forecast to stay
in the 70s for the most part with lower 80s along the coastal
Plains.

Clouds return this evening and continue to develop overnight across
south central Texas. Overnight lows are forecast to range from the
upper 40s to lower 50s across the southern Edwards and Hill Country
to lower 60s along the I-35 corridor and coastal Plains.

Dry weather conditions persist on Sunday with early morning clouds
transitioning to sunny skies in the afternoon. High temperatures
are forecast to reach the upper 70s to mid 80s.
