About this listen

 Good morning, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd. Texas is waking up chilly at 40 degrees. Enjoy it.. Because winter is packing its bags fast. Down along the Gulf Coast, you're starting at 41 degrees. By 3 PM you'll climb to 62. Winds flip from north to northeast around 8 AM. Nothing dramatic. Just a pleasant afternoon shaping up. Slide south toward the Rio Grande and things get interesting. South Texas starts at 39 degrees with wind chills near 35 this morning. But by 4 PM? You're touching 70 degrees. That's a 30 degree swing in one day. Steady northeast winds around 9 miles an hour keep it comfortable. Central Texas wakes up at 39 degrees too. Winds quietly shift east to south southwest around 3 AM tonight. By 4 PM tomorrow you'll hit 65. Not bad for late February. Now up in North Texas, you've got the cold seat today. Starting at 33 degrees. Only climbing to 59 by 4 PM. Winds shift northeast to north around 3 PM. You'll want a jacket for the evening commute. Tonight stays clear across the board. Lows settle into the 40s statewide. But here's where this week gets wild. Tomorrow the warmth surges. Seventies and eighties across the state. Wednesday, South Texas could hit 92 degrees. Ninety two. In February. That's backyard grilling weather three months early. Wednesday and Thursday are the peak, with widespread eighties. A weak cold front sneaks in late Thursday, but it barely dents the heat. Weekend stays dry with highs in the seventies and eighties. One thing to watch. Dry air plus gusty winds midweek means fire weather risk climbs. Keep that in mind if you're burning brush or tossing cigarettes. I'll be tracking that midweek heat spike all week long. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
