AUSTIN (KXAN) – The forecast indicates that clouds and fog or drizzle will return overnight into Christmas Eve morning.
This will bring cooler temperatures, but still within the low to mid 60s.
The change is expected to be slightly higher than the normal high for this time of year.
Morning lows are projected to fall in the low to mid 60s, a degree or two above the typical late-December high.
These temperatures are close to the normal high for the region.
The forecast suggests a mild chill for early holiday mornings.
When morning clouds clear, afternoon skies are projected to open up, offering bright sunshine and highs approaching 80 degrees.
This pattern will repeat on Christmas Day, giving residents a chance to enjoy warm, sunny afternoons after a cloudy start.
The sunny afternoons are expected to be a highlight of the holiday weather.
Saturday will see the south wind continue, bringing higher humidity levels that keep the air feeling muggy and moist.
Despite the humidity, the KXAN team notes a gradual drop in dew points as the week progresses toward Sunday.
The muggy conditions will persist until the cold front arrives.
The decline in dew points is attributed to an approaching cold front that is expected to arrive after sunrise on Sunday.
With the cold front in place, Sunday’s highs are forecast to fall into the 70s, a noticeable drop from the earlier week’s warmth.
The cooler air will reduce the overall humidity.
Monday will bring a more pronounced winter chill, with temperatures sliding into the 50s as the cold front pushes through the area.
This shift marks the beginning of a cold spell that will affect the final days of the year in Central Texas.
Residents may experience cooler evenings as well.
