Austin weather: Falling temperatures and a potential for rain-snow mix
AUSTIN - We're tracking a massive winter storm and much of the United States will be dealing with temperatures well below average this week. Sunday morning started with temperatures in the 70s, but will quickly drop.
For Central Texas, that cold front is filtering through, and as it does, it could bring a few sprinkles. You may start to see less cloud cover throughout the day. The temperatures will continue to fall on Sunday night to around 30 degrees.
Monday
Winter is coming. The winds will be strong, coming in from the north and the temperatures will be below freezing in the 20s and 30s across the area.
The high for Monday will be in the 40s. It will feel much colder with the winds, it will feel like it is in the teens.
Remember to bundle up and remember your Four P's: People, Pets, Plants, Pipes.
You could see a few sprinkles as the cold front swings through, but then there will be clear conditions.
With the clear skies overnight, it will allow those temperatures to fall quickly.
Wednesday-Friday
We are keeping a very close eye on the chance of some wintry precipitation. It is still a few days out. There could be some in the northern area of our viewing area, near San Saba.
This is not a repeat of 2021, because there are not going to be days and days of snow. Temperatures will be getting above freezing in the afternoons, but make sure you stay prepared and get ready because the arctic air is on its way.
It looks like it could most likely be Wednesday into Thursday or Thursday into early Friday when those temperatures will be freezing and below.
