Texas Weather: 02-20-2026

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 21st. Folks, Texas is doing that thing again. South Texas hit 89 degrees today. North Texas? Sixty two. That's a 27 degree spread across one state. Classic. Here's the deal. Down in the Rio Grande Valley, it felt like May showed up three months early. Eighty nine degrees under blazing sunshine. Light breeze. The kind of afternoon where your steering wheel burns your hands. Over on the Gulf Coast, you're seeing 81 degrees with a slight chance of a stray shower. Nothing to cancel plans over. Just a gentle southern breeze keeping things comfortable. Now head up to Central Texas. Austin and San Antonio landed right around 68 degrees. Light northeast winds. Honestly? Perfect patio weather. The kind of evening where you leave the jacket in the truck. Keep driving north to Dallas and Fort Worth. Sixty two degrees. Still pleasant for late February, but you'll want a layer if you're heading out tonight. Air quality sits moderate today, so if you're sensitive, maybe keep the evening walk short. And here's a fun one. Sunrise was 7:08 this morning, sunset at 6:24. We're gaining almost two minutes of daylight every single day now. Spring is creeping closer whether the calendar agrees or not. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. This quiet pattern holds strong. Temperatures stay above normal, especially south of I-10. No major storms on the radar. Just cool mornings, warm afternoons, and that familiar late winter tease where spring keeps flirting but won't fully commit. Enjoy it while it lasts. Alright. If you're enjoying these nightly updates, share us with a friend who's always asking about the weather. It really helps us grow. Stay safe out there, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
