Warm and Mostly Dry Week Ahead

Dry and pleasant start of the week with high temperatures mainly in the low to mid 80s with light northerly winds and plenty of sunshine. Another cool night is expected tonight with lows in the 50s and 60s. We can't rule out some patchy fog across portions of the region late tonight into Tuesday morning.

Warm and mostly dry weather will prevail this week with afternoon highs in the mid 80s and lower 90s (especially during the second half of the week). The nights will remain on the cooler side with 50s and 60s. Looking ahead, low rain chances may return to portions of Central TX over the weekend. Stay tuned!
