Good morning. Texas. I'm Aaron Jolly. In Step outside right now you’ll feel it, that thick, humid air clinging to your skin like a second layer. We're sitting at 74 degrees under overcast skies, with last night barely dipping to 72. But here’s the twist—this isn't just another warm March morning. Today. Texas splits into two wildly different worlds: one where summer arrives early. And another where spring gets a reality check. Down in South Texas, summer is pulling an early cameo. You'll hit 90 degrees today—that's 47 degrees above normal for early March—with heat indices climbing to 93. But don't get too comfortable. By 3 P.M., thunderstorms roll in, bringing gusty southeast winds at 13 to 16 miles an hour. Tonight, storms stick around, dropping temps to 65 by morning. Over on the Gulf Coast, it’s all about the rain. Highs hit 83 today, but storms move in by noon. Expect heavy downpours—up to an inch in spots—with overnight lows rising to 70 degrees thanks to warm, moist air. Sunday brings more of the same, with fog creeping in by evening. Central Texas is the drama queen today. Highs near 78, but storms erupt by mid-morning with heavy rain and gusty east winds. Temps actually fall through the afternoon, bottoming out at 54 tonight. Sunday stays cooler at 71 degrees, but storms linger like that one guest who won't leave the party. Up in North Texas, reality hits. Highs struggle to 71 today as storms sweep through by noon. Tonight, temps drop to a chilly 51—that's 47 degrees cooler than South Texas—with lingering showers. Sunday rebounds to 72 and sunny. Looking ahead. Sunday stays stormy along the coast. Monday brings a brief rebound to the 80s statewide, but another round of severe storms arrives Tuesday. Then comes a sharp cooldown—highs crash to the 60s north and 70s south by Wednesday. If you're headed to the coast, watch for rip currents and sea fog. Embrace the chaos, folks. Keep that umbrella handy. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.

A massive high pressure ridge has parked itself right over us like a guest who won't leave. and honestly, I'm not mad about it. That ridge is blocking every scrap of cold air and pulling warm Gulf moisture straight up through the state. The result? Temperatures running 58 degrees above normal today. In the next 24 hours. South Texas and Central Texas both flirted with the upper 80s this afternoon. 88 and 87 degrees respectively. North Texas hit 84. Down along the Gulf Coast, the sea breeze kept things slightly more reasonable at 81. Still. Late February. Let that sink in. Now tonight, things get interesting. All that Gulf moisture pooling overhead means fog rolls in after 2 A.M. Along the coast and creeps inland. Lows settle into the low 60s statewide. 61 on the coast, 64 in South Texas, 60 through Central and North Texas. Leave the windows cracked. You won't need the heater. Sunday morning, that fog burns off by 9 A.M. and we're right back to summer preview mode. South Texas hits 88 again. Central Texas reaches 84. North Texas tops at 81. Gulf Coast sits near 79. Winds pick up through the afternoon with gusts to 25 miles an hour, so your patio umbrella might get ambitious. Looking ahead, this warmth holds through Tuesday. Then the ridge finally cracks. A trough slides in Wednesday. and with it comes our first real rain. Showers and thunderstorms become likely Wednesday night into Thursday across North and Central Texas. South Texas and the coast see lower chances but could still catch some action. Highs stay in the low 80s through it all. Two weeks until tornado season typically ramps up. Enjoy the quiet while it lasts. I'll be watching that midweek system closely. Check back tomorrow for the latest. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, forget everything you know about February. Today feels like May crashed the party.. And brought friends. Del Rio hits 95 degrees by 4 P.M. Laredo climbs to 93. That's 52 degrees from the all-time February record set back in 1996. Alice pushes 92. These are numbers that belong on a pool float, not a winter calendar. Slide north into Central Texas and it's not much cooler. Austin and San Antonio both push near 88 degrees by 4 P.M.

A Wind Advisory runs through 6 P.M. for coastal areas. If you're on the water, respect that wind. Tonight barely cools off. Lows settle into the upper 50s to low 60s statewide. Leave the windows cracked. One thing you'll want to watch. Fire danger is elevated today and Thursday, especially west of I-52 degrees. Low humidity plus gusty winds means any spark spreads fast. Skip the burn piles this week. Looking ahead, Thursday gets even hotter. Mid to upper 90s across South Texas before a weak front sneaks in Thursday night. Friday brings a slight cooldown into the low 80s. Then dry conditions and above normal warmth carry us straight through the weekend. Sunscreen in February. I checked twice. And yes, it's real. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks — Texas is doing that thing again where it can't pick a season. Parts of the state are getting a taste of spring while others are still locked in winter's grip. Let's break it down. Step outside in Dallas-Fort Worth and you're feeling mid-50s with overcast skies. Not bad, not great. Kind of that gray, in-between day where you grab a jacket but don't zip it. Down in Houston, you've got upper 60s with some humidity creeping back in. If you're heading out tonight along the Gulf Coast, a light layer is all you need. Now San Antonio and Austin are sitting pretty in the low 60s. **Perfect weather for hitting the trails** at Enchanted Rock or grabbing dinner on South Congress. You'll want to enjoy it, because changes are coming. Up in the Panhandle? **Completely different story.** Amarillo's barely cracking 40 with gusty winds making it feel closer to the low 30s. That's the kind of cold that bites. And wind chills are **brutal** if you're out on the ranch. Dress warmly if you're heading anywhere north of Lubbock tonight. Out west, El Paso's seeing sunshine and mid-50s. Dry as a bone, which is pretty much El Paso's default setting. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. A cold front is **bearing down** on us Wednesday night into Thursday. We're talking a potential **48 degrees-degree temperature crash** across North Texas by Thursday morning. DFW could wake up to freezing temps by Friday. The front pushes all the way to the coast by the weekend, so Houston, your little spring preview is about to get interrupted. No significant rain in the forecast for most of the state, which means our drought concerns aren't going anywhere. If you're in agriculture, you already know the story there. One more thing — we've got a waning crescent moon tonight, so if skies clear up in your area, step outside and take a peek. There's something peaceful about a quiet Texas sky this time of year. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Tuesday, February 24th.. And February has completely lost the plot. Folks, we've got 90 degree heat on the horizon. In February. But first, let's talk about today, because the wind is the real troublemaker. Red Flag Warnings are flying across the Panhandle and West Texas. Humidity drops to 8 percent in spots. That's bone dry. One spark and you've got a wildfire sprinting across open range. No outdoor burning today. None. Step outside right now and you're feeling the 40s statewide. Crisp. Quiet. Enjoy that calm, because by noon, southerly winds crank to 25 miles an hour with gusts near 35. North Texas, you've got a Wind Advisory until 6 P.M. Gusts could hit 40. Tie down anything that isn't bolted to the ground. Now let's talk temperatures, because this is where it gets wild. Down in South Texas, you're hitting 80 degrees by 4 P.M. Today. The Gulf Coast reaches 71 by 3 P.M. In Galveston. North Texas tops out around 72 by 5 P.M. Central Texas splits the difference at 75. All above normal. All just the appetizer. Wednesday is the main course. Laredo and Del Rio push into the low 90s. That's 40 degrees above normal. Central Texas climbs to 87. North Texas hits 83 before a cold front rolls through Thursday, knocking you back to the upper 70s. South Texas? Stays scorching through the weekend, upper 80s minimum. Quick beach note. Dangerous rip currents along the Gulf Coast through Wednesday. Swim near a lifeguard. If you get caught, swim parallel to shore. Looking ahead, the pattern is stubborn. Wednesday and Thursday bring peak heat. A weak front cools North Texas briefly Friday into the weekend, but we're talking 80s statewide by Saturday. Dry, sunny, still feeling like early summer. Fire danger lingers west of I-35. Charge your phone, hydrate like it's July. And keep your eyes on any smoke. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Right now you're sitting at a pleasant 65 degrees. Enjoy it.. Because Texas is about to skip spring entirely and cannonball straight into summer. Tonight's lows dip into the low 40s statewide. North Texas bottoms out around 40 degrees by 7 A.M. It'll feel like 40 degrees at that hour, so grab a jacket on your way out. The Gulf Coast drops to 42 around 4 A.M. South Texas, same story, 43 by 5 A.M. Then tomorrow? Everything changes. The Gulf Coast climbs to 71 degrees by 3 P.M. Push west into Central Texas and Austin hits the mid 70s. Dallas and Fort Worth reach 72 by 4 P.M. With gusts to 20 miles an hour kicking in around 1 P.M. Down in South Texas, you rocket to 78 degrees. But Wednesday is the headliner. South Texas touches 92 degrees. That's July heat wearing a February disguise. Central Texas hits 87. North Texas, 82. And here's what matters most. Humidity drops into the teens. Winds gust past 25 miles an hour. The National Weather Service is flagging critical fire danger across the Panhandle, West Texas. And the Hill Country. No outdoor burning. None. One spark and you've got a fast moving wildfire on your hands. Allergies? Wind plus dry air equals pollen and dust everywhere. Stock up on meds now. The week ahead stays locked in this pattern. Tuesday starts the climb into the 70s with rising winds. Wednesday brings peak heat and peak fire risk. Thursday a weak front nudges North Texas down a few degrees, but highs still camp in the 80s for most of the state. Friday through the weekend? More of the same. 80s, breezy, dry. Tie down your patio furniture. Hydrate like it's August. And keep your eyes on those fire conditions. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, soak in that 47 degree crispness right now.. Because by Wednesday, parts of this state will be flirting with 92 degrees. That's not a typo. Late February. And we're talking shorts weather. Let me walk you through it. Up in Dallas and Fort Worth, you're grinding through a 59 degree afternoon. Winds shift north around 3 P.M., gusting to 15 miles an hour. That makes 7 A.M. Feel like 34 degrees. Grab the jacket if you're out early. Slide south to Austin and you're already at 65 degrees. Light winds flip from east to south southwest around 3 A.M. Tonight. That's the warm air knocking on the door. Down in Laredo? Door's wide open. They hit 70 degrees by 4 P.M. With easy east breezes. The Gulf Coast is the cool kid today, topping out at 62 degrees. Tonight, most of the state settles into the 40s. North Texas dips to 39 degrees. Then Tuesday, everything accelerates. Gulf Coast jumps to 71. Central Texas hits 75. South Texas pushes 79. And Wednesday is the headliner. South Texas could touch 92 degrees. That's 39 degrees above normal for February. Even North Texas climbs to 82. Now here's something serious. A Red Flag Warning is active for Southeast Texas today. Low humidity plus gusty winds equals dangerous fire conditions. Fire Weather Watches extend into Tuesday across the Panhandle and West Texas, with gusts to 35 miles an hour and humidity dropping to 7 percent. Skip the outdoor burning. Period. Looking ahead, this warmth isn't going anywhere. A weak cold front nudges through late Thursday, but it barely dents the heat. By Saturday, South and Central Texas are right back in the 80s. UV index is already at 6 today. Slather on sunscreen even though the calendar says February. I'll be tracking those fire conditions all week. You'll want to keep checking back. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd. Texas is waking up chilly at 40 degrees. Enjoy it.. Because winter is packing its bags fast. Down along the Gulf Coast, you're starting at 41 degrees. By 3 PM you'll climb to 62. Winds flip from north to northeast around 8 AM. Nothing dramatic. Just a pleasant afternoon shaping up. Slide south toward the Rio Grande and things get interesting. South Texas starts at 39 degrees with wind chills near 35 this morning. But by 4 PM? You're touching 70 degrees. That's a 30 degree swing in one day. Steady northeast winds around 9 miles an hour keep it comfortable. Central Texas wakes up at 39 degrees too. Winds quietly shift east to south southwest around 3 AM tonight. By 4 PM tomorrow you'll hit 65. Not bad for late February. Now up in North Texas, you've got the cold seat today. Starting at 33 degrees. Only climbing to 59 by 4 PM. Winds shift northeast to north around 3 PM. You'll want a jacket for the evening commute. Tonight stays clear across the board. Lows settle into the 40s statewide. But here's where this week gets wild. Tomorrow the warmth surges. Seventies and eighties across the state. Wednesday, South Texas could hit 92 degrees. Ninety two. In February. That's backyard grilling weather three months early. Wednesday and Thursday are the peak, with widespread eighties. A weak cold front sneaks in late Thursday, but it barely dents the heat. Weekend stays dry with highs in the seventies and eighties. One thing to watch. Dry air plus gusty winds midweek means fire weather risk climbs. Keep that in mind if you're burning brush or tossing cigarettes. I'll be tracking that midweek heat spike all week long. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, if you liked today's 63 degrees, just wait. By Wednesday, parts of Texas will feel like May crashed the party. We're talking a 35 degrees to 35 degree warm up in three days. But tonight? Winter gets one last word. Down along the Gulf Coast, you topped out at 62 degrees around 4 P.M. With a brisk north wind gusting to 20 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 41 by 7 A.M. Tomorrow's a carbon copy. Then Tuesday the wind flips south and everything changes. Wednesday you're flirting with 78 degrees. Thursday? 82. That's beach weather in February. Slide south and you're seeing the real fireworks. South Texas woke up at a crisp 39 around 7 A.M. But climbed to 69 by 4 P.M. Northeast winds stay gusty tonight at 15 miles an hour. Here's the kicker. Wednesday hits 92 degrees. Let that sink in. Ninety two. In February. Your AC is about to get a wake up call. Over in Central Texas, that 37 degree morning by 7 A.M. Gave way to 65 this afternoon by 4 P.M. Tuesday jumps to 75. Wednesday soars to 86. The kind of week where you'll want shorts and a jacket in the same car. Up in North Texas, you had the coldest seat in the house. Low of 35 around 6 A.M. High of just 59 by 3 P.M. But Wednesday pushes 83. That's a nearly 50 degree swing from morning low to midweek high. Now the week ahead tells one big story. Monday and Tuesday ramp up steadily. Wednesday is the peak, running 35 degrees to 35 degrees above normal statewide. A front nudges in late Thursday but barely dents things. No rain anywhere, so fire danger stays elevated with those gusty midweek winds. Quick bright spot. Sunrise hit 7:05 A.M. Today, sunset at 6:25 P.M. Almost two extra minutes of daylight every single day now. I'll be tracking that midweek heat all night. Take care. And that's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. And folks, the wind is picking up a fight today. Step outside right now and you're feeling 48 degrees under blue skies. Sounds pleasant enough. But those northeast gusts hitting 25 miles an hour? They're turning dry brush into a tinderbox. A Red Flag Warning covers South and Central Texas through this afternoon. Humidity's dropping into the teens. Any spark out there could sprint across a field before you finish your coffee. No burns today. No exceptions. Along the Gulf Coast, a Gale Warning has waves running six to ten feet. If you've got a boat, keep it tied up through noon. Now the temperature picture. Down in Laredo and Corpus Christi, you're climbing to 69 degrees by 4 P.M. Feels nice, right? Rewind to 7 A.M. And that wind made it feel like 35 degrees. Classic bait and switch. Over in Central Texas, you'll top out around 63 degrees near 3 P.M. North Texas? Struggling to crack 57 degrees by 4 P.M. Tonight, Dallas dips to 34 degrees. Patchy frost is possible in sheltered spots up there. Here's where it gets interesting. This cold snap has an expiration date. And it's coming fast. Tuesday pushes South Texas to 79 degrees. By Wednesday? South Texas flirts with 92 degrees. That's 34 degrees above normal for late February. Even North Texas hits 82 degrees by Thursday. We're going from jacket weather to air conditioning weather in three days flat. Fire danger rides along for the whole stretch. A weak front slides through late Thursday, barely enough to shave a few degrees off by Friday. One more sunrise note. We're gaining almost two minutes of daylight every day now. Sunrise at 7:05 A.M., sunset at 6:25 P.M. Keep your grills cold today and tie down anything the wind can grab. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Grab that coffee, because Texas is pulling a fast one on us today. Right now we're sitting at 46 degrees under clear skies. Sounds simple enough. But drive north to Dallas and you're shivering in the 30s. Head south toward the Valley? Already pushing 70 degrees. That's a 40 degree spread across one state before most folks finish breakfast. Folks, those north winds are the real story. Gusts up to 20 miles an hour are ripping across South Texas by 10 AM. Combined with bone dry air, that's triggering Red Flag Warnings across South and Central Texas. Any spark becomes a problem fast. Skip the burn pile today.
