Good afternoon. Texas. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, if you stepped outside today and thought your calendar was lying to you, you're not crazy. Texas is currently stealing a page straight out of mid-April. We're sitting at a spectacular 80 degrees under full sun, running a whopping 58 degrees above normal. In the next 24 hours. Here's what's happening. A big ridge of high pressure is building in from the west, forcing air to sink and warming us up nicely. Meanwhile, those southerly winds are acting like a conveyor belt, pumping warm Gulf moisture right into our backyards. Down in South Texas, you're feeling the heat the most. Highs near Laredo and Corpus Christi are topping out at 88 degrees, pushing right up against record territory. Central Texas isn't far behind. Austin and San Antonio are looking at 87 degrees with plenty of that bright sunshine. Push north and things ease just a touch. North Texas peaks at a comfortable 84 degrees this afternoon. Along the Gulf Coast, you're enjoying the lower 80s with a refreshing southeast breeze off the water. You'll want to watch out later tonight. Patchy fog develops after 2 A.M. As those winds finally calm down. Lows will dip into the lower 60s along the coast and hover around 60 inland. If you're driving early Sunday morning, give yourself some extra time. Sunday brings more of the same beautiful weather. Highs statewide stay in the 80s with southeast winds gusting up to 25 miles an hour by the afternoon. Looking ahead, this warm pattern holds through Tuesday. Then comes the change. A storm system rolls in from the west Wednesday. Rain chances jump to a coin flip Wednesday and Thursday. and some of those storms could be strong. In Enjoy this weekend while you can, folks. Sunrise was at 6, 59 this morning. Sunset comes at 6:30 this evening. Charge your phones now. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care! For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.
Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Folks. February is going out dressed like April. A big high pressure dome is sitting right on top of us, trapping warm Gulf air underneath and shoving every cold front out of the picture. The result? Temperatures running a full 56 degrees above normal. South Texas could touch 88 degrees today. That's not a typo. In the next 24 hours. But first. The catch. That same warm moisture is painting fog across the coast this morning. A Dense Fog Advisory runs through 9 A.M. For coastal counties. If you're driving early, slow down and give yourself extra time. Down in South Texas, once that fog lifts, it's pure sunshine and 88 degrees. Southeast winds gust to 24 miles an hour by afternoon. Your skin will feel every bit of it. Slather on sunscreen. UV index hits 6 today. Over in Austin and San Antonio, fog burns off by 9 A.M. Then blue skies push you to 86 degrees. Tonight patchy fog creeps back after 3 A.M. Lows settle near 60. Houston wakes up at 60 degrees wrapped in that coastal haze. It clears by mid morning. and you're looking at 81 degrees with a gentle southeast breeze. Now head north to Dallas Fort Worth.

We're staring at 86 degrees under brilliant sunshine. A full 56 degrees above where we should be in late February. The calendar says winter, but the thermometer is screaming spring. In the next 24 hours. Here's the setup. A weak cold front slid off the Gulf Coast overnight, but it forgot to bring the cold. It just cleared out the clouds.

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th. Sixty two degrees right now.. And that's the coolest you'll feel all day. February forgot what month it's. And honestly, I'm not mad about it. South Texas is absolutely cooking. Highs soar to 93 degrees. That's 52 degrees above normal. We're flirting with the all time February record set back in 1996, just three degrees shy. Sunny skies, south winds gusting to 28 miles an hour. But there's a catch. A Red Flag Warning is up across Deep South Texas. Humidity drops to 25 percent. Any spark out there could turn ugly fast. Slide north into Central Texas and you're still sweating.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, forget everything you know about February. Today feels like May crashed the party.. And brought friends. Del Rio hits 95 degrees by 4 P.M. Laredo climbs to 93. That's 52 degrees from the all-time February record set back in 1996. Alice pushes 92. These are numbers that belong on a pool float, not a winter calendar. Slide north into Central Texas and it's not much cooler. Austin and San Antonio both push near 88 degrees by 4 P.M. That's 52 degrees above normal. Let that sink in. Winds gust to 15 miles an hour around 9 A.M., then settle down. Enjoy the breeze while it lasts. Up in North Texas, Dallas reaches 83 degrees by 4 P.M. Waco hits 85. Steady south winds around 8 miles an hour keep things comfortable. Cooler than the south? Sure. But you're still sweating through your shirt. Now the Gulf Coast. You're looking at 80 degrees by 2 P.M. with south winds gusting to 30 miles an hour. A Wind Advisory runs through 6 P.M. for coastal areas. If you're on the water, respect that wind. Tonight barely cools off. Lows settle into the upper 50s to low 60s statewide. Leave the windows cracked. One thing you'll want to watch. Fire danger is elevated today and Thursday, especially west of I-52 degrees. Low humidity plus gusty winds means any spark spreads fast. Skip the burn piles this week. Looking ahead, Thursday gets even hotter. Mid to upper 90s across South Texas before a weak front sneaks in Thursday night. Friday brings a slight cooldown into the low 80s. Then dry conditions and above normal warmth carry us straight through the weekend. Sunscreen in February. I checked twice. And yes, it's real. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks — Texas is doing that thing again where it can't pick a season. Parts of the state are getting a taste of spring while others are still locked in winter's grip. Let's break it down. Step outside in Dallas-Fort Worth and you're feeling mid-50s with overcast skies. Not bad, not great. Kind of that gray, in-between day where you grab a jacket but don't zip it. Down in Houston, you've got upper 60s with some humidity creeping back in. If you're heading out tonight along the Gulf Coast, a light layer is all you need. Now San Antonio and Austin are sitting pretty in the low 60s. **Perfect weather for hitting the trails** at Enchanted Rock or grabbing dinner on South Congress. You'll want to enjoy it, because changes are coming. Up in the Panhandle? **Completely different story.** Amarillo's barely cracking 40 with gusty winds making it feel closer to the low 30s. That's the kind of cold that bites. And wind chills are **brutal** if you're out on the ranch. Dress warmly if you're heading anywhere north of Lubbock tonight. Out west, El Paso's seeing sunshine and mid-50s. Dry as a bone, which is pretty much El Paso's default setting. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. A cold front is **bearing down** on us Wednesday night into Thursday. We're talking a potential **48 degrees-degree temperature crash** across North Texas by Thursday morning. DFW could wake up to freezing temps by Friday. The front pushes all the way to the coast by the weekend, so Houston, your little spring preview is about to get interrupted. No significant rain in the forecast for most of the state, which means our drought concerns aren't going anywhere. If you're in agriculture, you already know the story there. One more thing — we've got a waning crescent moon tonight, so if skies clear up in your area, step outside and take a peek. There's something peaceful about a quiet Texas sky this time of year. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Tuesday, February 24th.. And February has completely lost the plot. Folks, we've got 90 degree heat on the horizon. In February. But first, let's talk about today, because the wind is the real troublemaker. Red Flag Warnings are flying across the Panhandle and West Texas. Humidity drops to 8 percent in spots. That's bone dry. One spark and you've got a wildfire sprinting across open range. No outdoor burning today. None. Step outside right now and you're feeling the 40s statewide. Crisp. Quiet. Enjoy that calm, because by noon, southerly winds crank to 25 miles an hour with gusts near 35. North Texas, you've got a Wind Advisory until 6 P.M. Gusts could hit 40. Tie down anything that isn't bolted to the ground. Now let's talk temperatures, because this is where it gets wild. Down in South Texas, you're hitting 80 degrees by 4 P.M. Today. The Gulf Coast reaches 71 by 3 P.M. In Galveston. North Texas tops out around 72 by 5 P.M. Central Texas splits the difference at 75. All above normal. All just the appetizer. Wednesday is the main course. Laredo and Del Rio push into the low 90s. That's 40 degrees above normal. Central Texas climbs to 87. North Texas hits 83 before a cold front rolls through Thursday, knocking you back to the upper 70s. South Texas? Stays scorching through the weekend, upper 80s minimum. Quick beach note. Dangerous rip currents along the Gulf Coast through Wednesday. Swim near a lifeguard. If you get caught, swim parallel to shore. Looking ahead, the pattern is stubborn. Wednesday and Thursday bring peak heat. A weak front cools North Texas briefly Friday into the weekend, but we're talking 80s statewide by Saturday. Dry, sunny, still feeling like early summer. Fire danger lingers west of I-35. Charge your phone, hydrate like it's July. And keep your eyes on any smoke. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
