Monday was absolutely gorgeous with mostly sunny skies and temperatures ranging from the upper 70s to the low/mid 80s. The winds were a bit on the gusty side, especially out in the Hill Country, and that prompted a Fire Weather Warning for the region until Monday evening. After the sun set, the winds lessened but still a little bit breezy out of the northwest between 8-15 mph.
Highest Wind Gusts:
33 mph Fredericksburg
31 mph Kerrville
30 mph Marble Falls
29 mph Burnet
29 mph Llano
29 mph Lago Vista
29 mph Killeen
29 mph Pflugerville
29 mph San Marcos
28 mph Austin-Airport
A weak cold front will move through tonight with a reinforcing shot of cooler air for Tuesday. We'll expect mostly clear skies and temperatures dropping into the upper 40s and low 50s so you'll definitely need the jacket early in the morning. Astronomical Spring officially arrive at 11:15 am and it will be sunny and warm with highs climbing into the low 70s by the afternoon, which is typical for mid-March.

High pressure will take over our weather midweek with a lot of sunshine and winds turning more southerly by Thursday. This will usher in higher dew points and warmer temperatures along with some more clouds. Temperatures will steadily rise each day with highs near 80 on Wednesday and then the low 80s Thursday and Friday. Rain chances start to show up this weekend with another cold front swinging through on Sunday.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful night.
