Central Texas Weather: Cooler temperatures, spotty showers on the way

You might need an umbrella this morning. Zack Shields has the latest on the front and our chances for some rain in his full forecast.

AUSTIN, Texas - Showery to sunny and windy today.

We have a Pacific front coming to town this morning first generating scattered light rain through mid-morning.

Behind the front, turning sunny, very dry and windy. The wildfire risk will increase in the afternoon so the National Weather Service has put areas from Austin to Hill Country under a RED FLAG WARNING from noon to 8 p.m.

We highly encourage NO outdoor burning today.

The chill will arrive way behind the front tonight with lows in the 40s. Jacket weather is back for tomorrow morning.
