Overview
- Forecasts call for widespread 80s across Central and Southeast Texas midweek, with upper 80s inland and some deep South Texas spots flirting with the mid-90s.
- Austin and Houston are expected to stay just below 90 degrees, though both cities could reach the mid- to upper 80s at the peak of the warm spell.
- Temperatures will run roughly 10 to 20 degrees above mid-February averages, with daily record highs unlikely despite the unusual warmth.
- Rain chances remain slim as the ridge suppresses lift, and onshore Gulf influence should keep coastal areas a few degrees cooler than inland locations.
- Two weak fronts are projected Wednesday and Friday with little immediate effect, followed by modest weekend cooling into the 70s and some 40s north of I-10 in the mornings.
