Another shot at rain returns for first weekend of rodeo ahead of a Sunday cold front

The past few weeks have brought rounds of beneficial rain to South Central Texas. Another chance arrives this weekend before a cold front clears us out and cools us down into the start of next week.

KEY POINTS

  • Scattered, hit-or-miss rain Saturday, especially early in the day, then another brief chance Sunday morning
  • An isolated strong storm can’t be ruled out on Saturday
  • This weekend won’t be a wash-out, but times of off-and-on rain will warrant keeping the umbrella handy, mainly on Saturday
  • A cold front arrives Sunday, clearing us out into the afternoon and kicking up gusty north winds by Sunday evening

Saturday, Feb. 10

As an area of low pressure approaches from the west, scattered rain and perhaps a stray storm or two will be likely on Saturday, especially in the morning. A strong storm or two is possible during this timeframe. Plan on keeping the umbrella handy or be prepared to find some indoor cover should rain approach where you are.

Temperature-wise, we’ll start off near 60 degrees in the morning, followed by a high temperature near 70°.

Sunday, Feb. 11

A small chance for a few more showers is looking possible near-dawn Sunday morning, then a cold front sweeps in and quickly clears us out.

Sunday will be sunny, near 70°. Healthy north winds kick on after the front passes you by, gusting upwards of 35 mph at times into Sunday evening.

By the time all is said and done, you can expect rainfall totals generally in the range of a quarter to half an inch, with localized higher totals not ruled out.

Looking ahead to next week, windy weather will continue into Monday, along with a drier and cooler weather pattern. We’ll keep you posted!
