Austin, TX – South-Central Texas is kicking off 2025 with sunny skies and mild temperatures, but a colder change is on the horizon. Residents can expect highs in the low 60s today, while overnight lows will dip to around 40 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service, a strong cold front will move through the area on Sunday, dropping temperatures significantly and marking the start of a chilly first week of the year. Today and Thursday will remain sunny and partly cloudy, respectively, with daytime highs around 62 to 65 degrees and calm winds.
By Saturday, clouds will increase slightly as temperatures climb into the upper 60s, but gusty south winds up to 20 mph may develop ahead of the front. Sunday brings a sharp shift, with morning sunshine giving way to a colder evening. Highs are expected to peak near 77 degrees before the front arrives, followed by lows dropping into the upper 30s Sunday night.
Drivers should remain cautious on local highways, such as I-35, as Sunday’s windy conditions may affect visibility, especially in open areas. For those planning outdoor activities, Friday and Saturday are ideal days, as minimal weather impacts are anticipated.
Next week begins with clear skies and crisp conditions, with highs around 53 on Monday and sunny skies continuing through Tuesday. Residents are encouraged to layer up as chilly mornings return.
