Texas Weather 3/9 Morning - 45° Above Normal


Listen Later

Good morning. Texas. I'm Aaron Jolly.
Step outside right now and you'll hit a wall of fog. Thick, soupy stuff that's cutting visibility to a quarter mile in spots, especially south of I-35. Currently sitting at 63 degrees after barely budging overnight. If you're on the roads early, take it slow. The fog should burn off by late morning.
In Now here's kicker, today's high of 88 degrees is running 45 degrees above normal for early March. That's more late April than early spring. South Texas pushes toward 88 with muggy air. The Gulf Coast hits 83 under mostly cloudy skies. Central Texas reaches 85, while North Texas tops out around 82. Light south winds keep things breezy but comfortable.
Tonight stays mild. Lows drop to the upper 60s to low 70s statewide. That fog may redevelop after midnight, especially along the coast.
Tuesday brings more warmth and building clouds. Highs reach the low to mid 80s across most of the state, with South Texas climbing to 91. A cold front approaches from the northwest late in the day. Rain chances increase Tuesday night as the front pushes through. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms after midnight. Some storms could pack a punch, particularly across North and Central Texas.
Wednesday is the big weather day. That cold front sweeps statewide, bringing showers and thunderstorms. Some storms may turn severe, with damaging winds and heavy rain possible. Rain tapers off by Wednesday evening as cooler, drier air surges in behind the front.
Thursday turns beautiful. Sunny skies return with highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s. Friday warms back into the upper 70s to low 80s under clear skies. The weekend looks warm and dry, with highs in the mid 80s to low 90s.
See you this afternoon.
