A reprieve is on the way. Temperatures will return to the 70s by Friday and the weekend as an approaching cold front brings more clouds and elevated rain chances.
The weekend forecast remains a bit fluid but, for now, the highest rain chances appear to be Saturday and Sunday, with a 40% chance of showers and storms.
The highest rainfall totals over the next seven days will likely fall over the Hill Country, where some could see upwards of an inch.
Lesser amounts are expected for locations east of the Interstate 35 corridor.
