A chance for showers and storms returns to the forecast for the next several days, all while chilly air heads down from Canada to Texas. Today's forecast calls for morning fog, drizzle and low clouds to gradually give way to some partial afternoon sun, with our final day of warmer-than-normal weather for a week, maybe even longer.

It's a 30% rain/storm chance today, most of which should be fairly light. Be careful out there! Our in-house model shows the biggest impact coming during the afternoon rush hour time frame ahead of an evening cold front.
There's a MARGINAL risk for severe storms in our part of Texas today, including the threat for sizable hail and strong storm winds. Of course, with any thunderstorm, there's also the risk of lightning.
The first burst of cooler air will arrive tonight, pushing temps back into the 50s after dark. Tomorrow's highs will only be in the mid to upper 60s as a result.
A stronger polar cold front will sweep across the Lone Star State and is currently timed to arrive in Austin late tomorrow night with a 40% chance of showers & storms. Our in-house Futurecast model shows the peak coming around 10 p.m. to midnight, then all the rain should exit the region Friday morning before noon.
It's going to be seriously chilly as we wrap up the week, with daytime 40s and 50s on Friday along with a blustery north breeze. The winds will calm down on Saturday but temps will not recover much, with our forecast now calling for highs in the mid to upper 50s through Sunday. It's a very low 20% rain chance during our Veterans Day weekend.
More cold air heads this direction next week with colder-than-normal conditions expected in almost all areas east of the Rockies. Join us for more on 'Weather on the 1s' on Spectrum News with our forecast every 10 minutes on TV or via the live stream.
