A mild pattern overall will be disrupted by a couple of chilly days and freezing nights.

This morning we have cloudy skies and a few showers to our southeast. It doesn’t seem likely that they will reach our area, but I can’t rule out one or two wandering in - mainly south of highway 22. The rest of the day we’ll have partly to mostly cloudy skies with highs in the low 60’s and modest north winds. A shower or two is possible before midnight - before we reach tonight’s lowest temperatures.

A quick word about tonight’s lows. They continue to trend colder (along with tomorrow night’s lows), and I’m estimating low due to the many low-lying and rural areas in our area that get colder than the more urban centers. I still don’t expect a real hard freeze, but think at least some of us will reach the 20’s overnight tonight - with more tomorrow night into Monday morning. With that said, I do not expect to see icy roads or any other major impacts if we do manage to get a shower or two tonight (before midnight - we likely won’t freeze until early morning).

Sunday and Monday will both be chilly. Sunday we’ll only reach the mid 40’s, and the mid 50’s for Monday. We’ll have southerly winds returning Monday, and Monday night we’ll only cool into the upper 30’s as we re-enter a warming trend and start moving in more clouds.

Tuesday a disturbance passes through Texas, and might bring a few showers. The bulk of the activity will be south/southeast of our area, but we may still get a few showers. Low rain chances continue Wednesday. Tuesday’s highs will be around 60º, and Thursday will be warmer with highs in the mid-upper 60’s.

Thursday another cold front moves through, and temperatures will completely depend on the timing of the front. Right now it still looks like we’ll make a run at the 70º mark before the front arrives and starts cooling us down. This won’t be a major front, though, so we’ll only cool into the low 40’s overnight with highs on Friday in the mid 60’s. This forecast is quite flexible at this point, so stay tuned. This time of year these fronts and waffle a lot within the 7-day range, so I’ll be watching!
