AUSTIN, Texas — After a good wash of rain Monday, we now set our eyes on the second cold front of the week in Central Texas.
Tuesday morning will be fall-like, with clear skies overhead and temperatures in the 40s and 50s. Afternoon sunshine will help return temperatures back to the lower 80s in many neighborhoods.
Tuesday night, a dry cold front will boost wind gusts up to 25 mph and lower Wednesday morning's temperatures by a few degrees. Widespread lower 50s to mid-40s and even a few upper 30s will pop up in the Hill Country. Highs Wednesday will peak in the mid- to upper 60s.
As clear skies settle in, Thursday and Friday morning will be even cooler, with 40s in the Austin metro and mid- to upper 30s elsewhere. A bit of frost will be possible in rural areas. While a widespread freeze isn't forecast, you can bring those sensitive plants inside if you're worried about them.
We'll jump back to more comfortable temperatures this weekend, as mostly sunny skies continue.
