Austin, Texas – Chilly conditions tonight could bring a light freeze to parts of Central Texas, prompting residents to prepare for near-freezing temperatures before a significant midweek warmup.
According to the US National Weather Service Austin-San Antonio, mostly clear skies and light northerly winds may allow temperatures to drop into the low-to-mid 30s across portions of the region. Forecast lows include 31–37 degrees along the I-35 corridor, 29–34 in the Hill Country, 33–39 across the southern Edwards Plateau, and 35–40 in the Rio Grande Plains.
Forecasters said winds will become light overnight, increasing the likelihood of patchy light freeze conditions in colder spots. Monday is expected to remain cool before temperatures climb well above seasonal averages by midweek.
Highs are projected to reach the upper 70s and 80s across much of the area Tuesday and Wednesday. Western portions of the region could see temperatures rise into the low 90s by Wednesday afternoon.
The weather service also noted no rainfall is forecast anywhere in the region over the next seven days, extending a dry stretch across Central and South-Central Texas.
The temperature swings may be especially relevant for students walking to early classes and commuters traveling during the colder overnight and morning hours.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts for any changes.
