Your Weather Planner
On Wednesday, we’ll see clouds in the morning mixed in with some sunshine. We’ll maintain a small chance for scattered showers and non-severe storms during the afternoon and evening for Austin, San Antonio and DFW. Due to enhancing southerly flow, warmer temperatures build in by late week ahead of a cold front that will drop highs into the 80s for Labor Day Weekend. The front may also bring better chances for widespread precipitation. We’ll know more by late week!
