3/1 Texas Weather 6 AM: 59° Above Normal

Good morning. Texas. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, somebody forgot to tell the calendar what month it's. A big dome of high pressure parked over Mexico is shoving warm Gulf air straight up through the state. and it feels like mid April out there. In the next 24 hours. But first, the catch. All that moisture means fog. A Dense Fog Advisory runs until 8 A.M. For Chambers and Liberty Counties. Visibility drops below a mile. If you're driving early, slow down and give yourself extra time. Now the fun part. South Texas is the star today. You're waking up at 64 degrees and climbing all the way to 88. That's 59 degrees above normal. Sunshine all day with gusty southeast winds. Slide up to Central Texas and you'll find patchy fog and 61 degrees right now. That burns off by 8 A.M. Then temperatures rocket to 84. The kind of afternoon where your car steering wheel reminds you summer is coming. Along the Gulf Coast, fog lifts by 9 A.M. and sunshine takes over. Highs reach 80 degrees with southeast gusts to 25 miles an hour. That wind off the water feels gorgeous. North Texas gets the coolest seat at the table and it's still 81 degrees. Tonight you drop to 59. That's the chilliest low in the entire state. and it still feels like spring. After dark, patchy fog creeps back along the coast and into Central Texas after 3 A.M. Lows hold in the low 60s everywhere else. Looking ahead. Monday and Tuesday run hot again. Tuesday might be the warmest day yet. Then Wednesday. The pattern flips. A storm system rolls in bringing rain. By next weekend, showers and thunderstorms become likely. Some could pack a punch. And a sobering reminder. On this date in 2012, fifteen tornadoes tore across North Texas. We're just two weeks from peak tornado season. Time to check those weather alerts. I'll be tracking that midweek system closely. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.
