AUSTIN, Texas — It was a breezy Christmas Eve, with highs only in the 50s, but the winds finally quieted down on Thursday evening just in time for Santa! It will be a mostly clear night, with temperatures falling into 30s and even some upper 20s for Christmas morning across the Hill Country.
The immediate Austin area may stay just above freezing, but elsewhere widespread freezing temperatures could be pretty widespread. After a cold Christmas morning, the afternoon looks amazing, with a mostly sunny sky and highs in the 60s – perfect weather to play with any new toys out in the yard!
Following the holiday, the weekend also looks very nice! Saturday and Sunday will both stay dry, and our weather turns increasingly warm, with 70s for highs by Sunday.
A weak cold front will approach the area Sunday into Monday, so starting on Monday a few widely isolated showers will be possible. However, a stronger system will move through around Tuesday with a much higher rain chance.
The latest computer models are showing a chance for widespread rain and maybe even some storms for Tuesday, Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning as the cold front sweeps through.
Early projections are also showing the potential for pretty widespread rainfall totals between a half inch and inch and half. However, it's still early so these numbers could change.
The KVUE Storm Team will keep a close eye on things and will keep you posted on this developing forecast.
