We've made it to the Friday before Spring Break and weekend 2 at the Rodeo. A weak front is at least trying to make it, and could bring in some lightly scattered showers mainly north. Highs will likely end up cooler there, but a few spots farther south could hit 80 if we see enough afternoon clearing. After a warm and breezy weekend, a second front brings in cooler air early next week. We'll gradually warm during Spring Break with another late week front expected around St. Patrick's Day

We've got a front on the way tonight, but the big question is does it make it and where does it stall. It'll at least bring in some lightly scattered showers mainly north of I-10, and take the edge of the temperatures briefly. Then, we're right back to warm and muggy for the weekend with a hefty south breeze. Highs Sunday will be largely dependent on the timing of our next front, which will bring in much more pleasant weather for early next week.

Tomorrow, a weak cold front moves in, so there will be a chance for showers and even a few isolated storms - highs may stay in the 70s. This weekend looks pleasant with highs in the 80s again, then a stronger front Sunday night brings a bona fide cooldown for early next week with 50s and 70s for lows and highs.

We stay warm through the weekend with high temperatures in the 80s. There will be a weak cold front that rolls in early Friday morning. It will bring a slightly better chance for a few showers and storms Friday AM. But it will wash out and fade keeping warm air in place through Sunday. Another front Sunday night and Monday morning will be a bit stronger and finally bring more comfortable temperatures. It won't bring much rain through with only a 10-20% chance for an isolated shower. For those of you in town and on spring break next week, you will have some cooler air to enjoy.

Wednesday afternoon weather forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango

Our warm, humid pattern continues for now. Look for mostly cloudy nights with AM patchy fog/mist and partly sunny, steamy afternoons. A weak front will bring a few light showers overnight Thursday into Friday followed by a very brief wind shift so it won't offer many changes. Another fairly dry front early next week looks to bring in a larger decrease to our temperatures, leading to at least a few pleasant, seasonable Spring Break days.
