Hang on to your hats! Saturday morning front brings windy start to the weekend

Critical fire weather conditions are possible with gusts as high as 35 mph and dew points as low as the teens.

AUSTIN, Texas — Another weekend, another cold front! This one will finally bring some sunshine to enjoy most of the weekend, but there will be a few bumps along the road to that much anticipated sunshine. 

FRIDAY NIGHT

 As the cold front approaches, this will spark up with a 60 percent chance of showers overnight. A few thunderstorms are definitely possible. Rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch are expected. Isolated areas may see higher amounts in thunderstorms. 

SATURDAY MORNING 

Rain chances will still be in place as the cold front will be pushing through at this time. The front should be out of our viewing area by 10 a.m. This will bring gradually clearing skies behind it.
