    Fire Weather Watch | Texas Weather 6 AM
    Feb 23 2026
    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!

    Texas Weather: 02-22-2026
    Feb 23 2026
    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, if you liked today's 63 degrees, just wait. By Wednesday, parts of Texas will feel like May crashed the party. We're talking a 35 degrees to 35 degree warm up in three days. But tonight? Winter gets one last word. Down along the Gulf Coast, you topped out at 62 degrees around 4 P.M. With a brisk north wind gusting to 20 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 41 by 7 A.M. Tomorrow's a carbon copy. Then Tuesday the wind flips south and everything changes. Wednesday you're flirting with 78 degrees. Thursday? 82. That's beach weather in February. Slide south and you're seeing the real fireworks. South Texas woke up at a crisp 39 around 7 A.M. But climbed to 69 by 4 P.M. Northeast winds stay gusty tonight at 15 miles an hour. Here's the kicker. Wednesday hits 92 degrees. Let that sink in. Ninety two. In February. Your AC is about to get a wake up call. Over in Central Texas, that 37 degree morning by 7 A.M. Gave way to 65 this afternoon by 4 P.M. Tuesday jumps to 75. Wednesday soars to 86. The kind of week where you'll want shorts and a jacket in the same car. Up in North Texas, you had the coldest seat in the house. Low of 35 around 6 A.M. High of just 59 by 3 P.M. But Wednesday pushes 83. That's a nearly 50 degree swing from morning low to midweek high. Now the week ahead tells one big story. Monday and Tuesday ramp up steadily. Wednesday is the peak, running 35 degrees to 35 degrees above normal statewide. A front nudges in late Thursday but barely dents things. No rain anywhere, so fire danger stays elevated with those gusty midweek winds. Quick bright spot. Sunrise hit 7:05 A.M. Today, sunset at 6:25 P.M. Almost two extra minutes of daylight every single day now. I'll be tracking that midweek heat all night. Take care. And that's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Texas Weather: 02-22-2026
    Feb 22 2026
    Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. And folks, the wind is picking up a fight today. Step outside right now and you're feeling 48 degrees under blue skies. Sounds pleasant enough. But those northeast gusts hitting 25 miles an hour? They're turning dry brush into a tinderbox. A Red Flag Warning covers South and Central Texas through this afternoon. Humidity's dropping into the teens. Any spark out there could sprint across a field before you finish your coffee. No burns today. No exceptions. Along the Gulf Coast, a Gale Warning has waves running six to ten feet. If you've got a boat, keep it tied up through noon. Now the temperature picture. Down in Laredo and Corpus Christi, you're climbing to 69 degrees by 4 P.M. Feels nice, right? Rewind to 7 A.M. And that wind made it feel like 35 degrees. Classic bait and switch. Over in Central Texas, you'll top out around 63 degrees near 3 P.M. North Texas? Struggling to crack 57 degrees by 4 P.M. Tonight, Dallas dips to 34 degrees. Patchy frost is possible in sheltered spots up there. Here's where it gets interesting. This cold snap has an expiration date. And it's coming fast. Tuesday pushes South Texas to 79 degrees. By Wednesday? South Texas flirts with 92 degrees. That's 34 degrees above normal for late February. Even North Texas hits 82 degrees by Thursday. We're going from jacket weather to air conditioning weather in three days flat. Fire danger rides along for the whole stretch. A weak front slides through late Thursday, barely enough to shave a few degrees off by Friday. One more sunrise note. We're gaining almost two minutes of daylight every day now. Sunrise at 7:05 A.M., sunset at 6:25 P.M. Keep your grills cold today and tie down anything the wind can grab. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

    Texas Weather: 02-22-2026
    Feb 22 2026
    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Grab that coffee, because Texas is pulling a fast one on us today. Right now we're sitting at 46 degrees under clear skies. Sounds simple enough. But drive north to Dallas and you're shivering in the 30s. Head south toward the Valley? Already pushing 70 degrees. That's a 40 degree spread across one state before most folks finish breakfast. Folks, those north winds are the real story. Gusts up to 20 miles an hour are ripping across South Texas by 10 AM. Combined with bone dry air, that's triggering Red Flag Warnings across South and Central Texas. Any spark becomes a problem fast. Skip the burn pile today. Along the Gulf Coast, you're looking at sunny skies and a high near 63 degrees around 4 PM. Winds hold steady at 11 miles an hour. Sounds pleasant, but dangerous rip currents are keeping the surf off limits. Tonight drops to 44 degrees by 4 AM. Down in South Texas, sunshine pushes you to 69 degrees by 4 PM. Tonight clears out and cools to 42 degrees by 4 AM. Monday brings highs near 70 with winds shifting east. Central Texas, you'll hit 63 degrees around 3 PM with lighter winds near 6 miles an hour. Overnight lows dip to 37 degrees by 7 AM Monday. Tomorrow nudges up to 65 degrees. Up in North Texas, highs barely crack the upper 50s this afternoon. Tonight falls to 37 degrees by 4 AM. Monday warms slightly to 60 degrees. Now the week ahead gets wild. By Wednesday, South Texas could touch 92 degrees. February. Ninety two. Central and North Texas climb into the 80s. Then a cold front crashes the party late week, dropping temps back down. Fire danger lingers through midweek, so keep your guard up. One quick thing. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps this going. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care, Texas!

    Feb 22 2026
    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. Folks, here's the deal. That cold front that blew through? It's rewriting the whole script tonight. South Texas hit 83 degrees around 35 degrees P.M. By 35 degrees A.M. tomorrow? 44 degrees. That's a 40 degree nosedive in about twelve hours. The kind of drop that makes your thermostat question its life choices. And fire danger is no joke right now. Red Flag Warnings are flying across South and Central Texas. Humidity's cratering into the teens. North winds gusting to 35 degrees, even 30 miles an hour. One spark and dry grass turns into a headline. No outdoor burning tonight. Period. Let's take a drive. Down in the Valley, Laredo and McAllen are still clinging to the warmth, but tonight that wind chill drops it to 37 degrees. Bring the pets inside. Slide over to the Gulf Coast and Houston's sitting at 76 degrees this afternoon. Tomorrow? Just 63. Galveston's dealing with waves five to ten feet high through Sunday. Stay out of that water. Rip currents are dangerous. Up through Austin and San Antonio, you're seeing 68 degrees with gusts to 30 miles an hour. Tonight crashes to 42 degrees, feeling like 36. Cover those plants if you haven't already. Keep driving north to Dallas and Fort Worth. You topped out around 60 today. Tomorrow barely cracks 57. Rural areas west of I 35 could flirt with freezing overnight. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Sunday and Monday stay cool. Lows in the 30s and 40s. Patchy frost possible in the Hill Country. But Tuesday the rebound kicks in hard. By Wednesday, South Texas flirts with 91 degrees. In February. North Texas climbs into the mid 80s. No rain anywhere. Just dry heat building back like summer got impatient. So. If you're enjoying these forecasts, share us with a friend who likes knowing what's coming. Takes two seconds and helps us grow. Bundle up tonight, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

    Texas Weather: 02-21-2026
    Feb 22 2026
    Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. Here's the deal. Texas is running a 30 degree temperature spread right now. South Texas hit 85 degrees today. North Texas barely cracked the low 60s. That's like summer and fall having a staring contest across I-35. But the real headline tonight? Fire danger. A Red Flag Warning covers most of South and Central Texas. Humidity dropped to 10 percent today. Combine that with winds gusting to 30 miles an hour, and any spark becomes a nightmare. If you're thinking about a backyard fire pit tonight, don't. Just don't. Down in South Texas, you're crashing from 85 degrees to 44 by 35 degrees A.M. tomorrow. That's a 40 degree nosedive overnight. Your body won't know what hit it. Central Texas saw low 70s today with a steady 35 degrees mile an hour breeze. Tonight you'll drop to around 40 degrees. Head up to North Texas and those gusts hit 30 miles an hour. Some spots west of I-35 could flirt with a light freeze overnight. Lows settling near 35 degrees. Along the Gulf Coast, you're seeing 78 degrees but the water is angry. Waves pushing 8 feet. Rip currents are serious through Sunday. Stay out of the surf unless you want the ocean making decisions for you. Overnight lows near 46 degrees, feeling closer to 40 with that wind. Sunday brings cooler air everywhere. Highs in the 50s and 60s. Winds finally ease up, but fire risk lingers. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday and Tuesday start a slow warm up back into the 70s and 80s. By Wednesday, South Texas could punch 92 degrees. That's a summer preview nobody asked for. Another cold front slides in late week, knocking things back to the 70s by Friday. Dry conditions hold strong all week. We're gaining daylight fast. Sunrise at 7:07 A.M., sunset at 6:25 P.M. One more thing. If this forecast keeps you prepared, share it with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps us going. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there!

    Texas Weather: 02-21-2026
    Feb 21 2026
    Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 24th, folks, and Texas is running two seasons at once today. Here's the deal. Down in South Texas, it's basically summer. You're seeing 82 degrees with north winds pushing 12 to 21 miles an hour. That breeze is the only thing keeping it honest. Tonight stays balmy near 70. Slide over to the Gulf Coast and you're still feeling 78 degrees. A slight chance of showers, but most of you stay dry. Overnight lows barely dip into the upper 60s. Perfect patio weather if you ask me. Now drive north and watch that thermometer drop like your phone battery at a music festival. Central Texas lands at a comfortable 73 degrees. Gusty winds from 15 to 20 miles an hour, though. Tonight cools into the mid 50s. Not bad at all. But North Texas? You're the odd one out at 63 degrees. Quiet skies, light winds, zero rain. Tonight you'll want a jacket as lows settle into the upper 40s. That's nearly 20 degrees cooler than the coast. Quick note on air quality. It's moderate today, so sensitive groups should ease up on heavy outdoor activity. And here's a bright spot. We're gaining almost two minutes of daylight every day now. Sunset tonight hits at 6:25. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. The Gulf Coast and South Texas hold onto those 80s through Wednesday. Central Texas climbs back into the upper 70s by midweek. North Texas finally warms up, rebounding near 70 by Tuesday. No storms lurking anywhere. Just a steady, spring like warming trend sliding across the whole state. One more thing. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a friend. It really does help more Texans find us. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there!

    Texas Weather: 02-21-2026
    Feb 21 2026
    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Texas Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 24th, and folks, late February is handing us a gift today. Step outside and you'll feel it. The Gulf Coast is leading the charge at 64 degrees with light southwest winds around 5 miles an hour. Here's the thing though. Air quality sits at moderate, so if you've got sensitive lungs, maybe keep the jog short. Slide over to South Texas and you're seeing 62 degrees. Calm. Pleasant. The kind of morning where your coffee tastes better on the porch. Central Texas comes in cooler at 55 degrees, still mild for this time of year. Up in North Texas? You've got 52 degrees. Nobody's complaining about that in February. Tonight the skies go crystal clear. Lows dip to the mid 40s along the coast. Head north and you'll settle into the upper 30s. Light winds, quiet night. Perfect sleeping weather if you crack a window. Tomorrow brings more of the same. Sunny skies push highs back into the 50s and 60s statewide. If you've been putting off yard work, the weather just ran out of excuses for you. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. This mild stretch isn't going anywhere. Sunny skies hold through midweek with temperatures steady or nudging even warmer. No storms lurking. No cold fronts crashing the party. Just a slow, steady march toward spring. And one more sweet detail. Sunrise hit 7:07 this morning. Sunset rolls in at 6:25 tonight. That's nearly eleven hours and eighteen minutes of daylight. We're gaining almost two minutes every single day now. You'll want to soak that up. Alright. If this forecast made your Saturday a little easier, share it with a neighbor who could use the heads up. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
