Good morning. Texas. I'm Aaron Jolly.

In Step outside right now you’ll feel it, that thick, humid air clinging to your skin like a second layer. We're sitting at 74 degrees under overcast skies, with last night barely dipping to 72. But here’s the twist—this isn't just another warm March morning. Today. Texas splits into two wildly different worlds: one where summer arrives early. And another where spring gets a reality check.

Down in South Texas, summer is pulling an early cameo. You'll hit 90 degrees today—that's 47 degrees above normal for early March—with heat indices climbing to 93. But don't get too comfortable. By 3 P.M., thunderstorms roll in, bringing gusty southeast winds at 13 to 16 miles an hour. Tonight, storms stick around, dropping temps to 65 by morning.

Over on the Gulf Coast, it’s all about the rain. Highs hit 83 today, but storms move in by noon. Expect heavy downpours—up to an inch in spots—with overnight lows rising to 70 degrees thanks to warm, moist air. Sunday brings more of the same, with fog creeping in by evening.

Central Texas is the drama queen today. Highs near 78, but storms erupt by mid-morning with heavy rain and gusty east winds. Temps actually fall through the afternoon, bottoming out at 54 tonight. Sunday stays cooler at 71 degrees, but storms linger like that one guest who won't leave the party.

Up in North Texas, reality hits. Highs struggle to 71 today as storms sweep through by noon. Tonight, temps drop to a chilly 51—that's 47 degrees cooler than South Texas—with lingering showers. Sunday rebounds to 72 and sunny.

Looking ahead. Sunday stays stormy along the coast. Monday brings a brief rebound to the 80s statewide, but another round of severe storms arrives Tuesday. Then comes a sharp cooldown—highs crash to the 60s north and 70s south by Wednesday. If you're headed to the coast, watch for rip currents and sea fog.

Embrace the chaos, folks. Keep that umbrella handy. See you tomorrow.

See you this afternoon.
