TEXAS, USA — Good evening East Texas. The combination of strong high pressure overhead and the counter-clockwise circulation of wind around Hurricane Ian is sending East Texas a very dry air mass. This dry air might feel great to work and workout in but it does come with a risk for increased grass and wildfires. And it's a threat that won't go away for many days.
In the meantime, the dry air will result in many cool nights ahead with lows in the upper 40s and low 50s and sun filled afternoons with highs in the low 80s. That means we will have a fantastic first weekend of October.
TONIGHT:
Skies stay clear overnight and we'll have a light wind, which is the perfect combo for temperatures to cool off very quickly. By sunrise, many of us will be around 50 degrees, with parts of the region even falling into the upper-40s. Don't forget your jackets!
TOMORROW:
Our fantastic weather pattern sticks around through the end of the work week. We'll continue to work with plenty of sunshine, which will help us thaw out from a chilly morning. High temperatures will reach the low-80s.
Under The Lights will feel the best it has all season! At kickoff, temperatures will be in the mid-70s. By the end of any games, temperatures will already be in the mid and upper-60s.
