Just what we don’t need…hot, dry conditions and wind! A Red Flag Warning for wind and low relative humidity, is in effect from Sunday afternoon through Monday evening. A Wind Advisory is in effect from 3 PM Sunday to 5 AM CDT Monday. North winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected. Locally stronger winds to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph possible. Record highs are possible as a warm front moves through from the west before the cold front arrives in the late afternoon. Look for highs in the 90’s, with a few hundreds possible for our SW counties.

From the NWS: “Cold air will follow behind the front, dropping temperatures into the 30s and low 40s by sunrise Monday. This represents a roughly 50-degree plunge in about 15 hours, which would be one of the steepest temperature drops our area has seen in the past few decades. The blended statistical guidance even favors a few patchy freezes in the Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau. Combined with the wind, apparent temperatures early Monday morning could reach the 20s across much of the Hill Country and portions of the I-35 corridor.” There is a chance for freezing temperatures in the Hill Country and rural valley spots on both Monday and Tuesday mornings. By the end of next week we will be back in the 80’s for highs. Still no sign of our next rain event as high pressure over the west blocks any potential rain events for us.
