Good afternoon. Texas. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside and you'll feel that thick, muggy air clinging to your skin. Last night's rain left us about a third of an inch statewide. And it's not quite done yet.

Gulf Coast and South Texas — scattered thunderstorms roll through this afternoon. Your best window hits between 1 and 4 P.M., with a 60 to 70 percent shot at getting wet. Highs reach the low 70s. Central Texas stays mostly cloudy with just a slight rain chance, topping out near 70. North Texas? You win today. Patchy fog burns off by mid-morning, then sunshine takes over. Highs near 73.

Tonight, that stalled front lifts back north. Patchy fog redevelops, especially along the coast. Lows settle in the upper 50s to upper 60s statewide.

Monday brings mostly cloudy skies and warming temperatures — highs jump into the low to mid 80s. South Texas could hit 86. Tuesday continues warm and muggy, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Now here's the big story. A strong cold front barrels through late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, bringing widespread showers and thunderstorms. Some could turn severe — damaging winds and isolated tornadoes are possible, especially west of I-35. Heavy rain moves through quickly, but localized flooding can't be ruled out. Behind the front. Wednesday afternoon clears out fast. Temperatures crash — highs only reach the low 70s.

Thursday and Friday? Gorgeous. Sunny skies, lows in the upper 40s, highs in the mid 60s to mid 70s. The weekend warms back up — Saturday hits the low to mid 80s under sunny skies. Perfect spring weather returns.

Keep an eye on Wednesday's storms. We'll have updates as that front gets closer.

See you this evening.
