After a stretch of warm, spring-like weather, a cold front is set to sweep across Texas later this week, bringing cooler temperatures and a shift in conditions, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
The week will begin with mild and sunny weather across much of the state, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 60s. However, temperatures are expected to climb as the week progresses, with some areas, particularly in Central and South Texas, potentially reaching the 90s by Thursday.
The NWS has warned that while the late-week heat may feel significant, it won’t compare to the intense summer temperatures ahead. “These warm days will seem mild once summer rolls around,” the agency posted on X.
Along with the approaching cold front, a lunar eclipse is set to take place late Thursday night. The moon will enter Earth’s umbra at 12:09 a.m., with totality occurring between 1:26 a.m. and 2:31 a.m. While some cloud cover could impact visibility in parts of the state, forecasts suggest “fair viewing” conditions in many areas.
Texas has experienced an active weather pattern in recent weeks. Southeast Texas has seen multiple cold fronts, thunderstorms, and hail, while North Texas endured several hard freezes over the winter months. As the transition to warmer weather continues, meteorologists remain on alert for rapidly changing conditions across the state.
