Next cold front
Dig out your sweater! Our warm stretch will be coming to an end in about 24 hours. Winds will continue to calm overnight, but it will still be breezy on Friday. A cold front is headed to the Coastal Bend, but will have a few 'obstacles' along the way. This makes predicting the timing of the front a bit difficult, as well as the potential for rainfall. One thing's certain: the front will swing temperatures in a much cooler direction.
As of the latest conditions, it seems our front will arrive late on Friday night. We'll likely see a few showers Friday afternoon due to the unsettled air ahead of the front. The front will be shallow, meaning thunderstorms are expected very early on Saturday morning. A cloudy and cool weekend is ahead with periods of light rain. Rainfall totals will be modest, but measurable rain is in the forecast.
