Tonight, temperatures will still be quite cool but not as cold as last night. Lows will drop into the upper-30’s in land and the 40’s along and south of I-10. On Sunday, as high pressure shifts to the east. We will see a shift to a south wind bringing warmth and moisture to the News 5 area. Highs will push at around 70°, and some brief showers are possible mainly in our northwestern spots. Overnight Sunday into Monday as a cold front approaches the area and stalls, rain chances will starkly increase with more widespread showers and storms possible on Monday and Tuesday. Isolated flash flooding is possible as multiple rounds of showers and storms move through the area. After the cold front eventually passes Tuesday night into Wednesday, much cooler and drier air will begin to push into the area. Lows will be back in the 30’s to end next week with highs in the 50’s.
