Today's Forecast

• 83°
• 56°

Abundant sunshine and a breezy southwest wind allowed temperatures to soar into the lower 80's for the first time this year.  We will keep those breezy southwest winds in the picture for Thursday, which means the unseasonably warm weather will continue for another day.  Keep in mind that our average high temperature for this time of year is in the mid 60's.  That means we are running about 10 to 15 degrees above normal for mid-February.

Wednesday night will be partly cloudy and mild.  Lows will drop into the upper 50's.  Winds will be southwest at 5 to 10 mph.

On Thursday, skies will be partly cloudy and very warm with a 20% chance of a late day or early evening shower or storm.  Otherwise, unseasonably warm, with highs topping out in the lower to middle 80's.  Winds will remain breezy and out of the southwest at 15 mph.

Our unseasonably warm weather will come to an end overnight Thursday as our next cold front moves through East Texas.  Most areas will stay completely dry as the front moves through your neighborhood.  In the wake of the front, we will see a nice cool down for the end of the week and the upcoming weekend.
