Saturday Afternoon /  March 20th

On this Saturday... a cold front has moved off the Texas coast with much cooler surface high pressure building southward from the Rockies and the Plains into Texas.

On the upper air charts...   a strong trough of upper level low pressure extends southward from central U. S. plains into Texas.

In the wake of  strong cold front that moved across the area earlier today, drier and much cooler air has taken over most of Texas.

Temperatures will be below seasonal averages through tomorrow. Overnight tonight as well as tomorrow night, lows will be near the freezing mark especially in the outlying and lowlying areas. The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning overnight for the Texas hill country including Blanco.. Burnet... Gillespie and Llano counties. The freeze warning
does not include the Austin metro or IH 35 corridor area at this time.

A dry and stable weather pattern will prevail tonight into Sunday as well as into the first part of the new week.

Another low pressure storm system is forecast to increase clouds and rain chances by the middle part of next week.

Have a good weekend...
