...Potential Light Freeze Tuesday Morning across the Hill Country

and rural and low-lying locations along the I-35 corridor, and

across the Coastal Plains...

The strong cold front pushing across South Central Texas earlier

this afternoon through this evening, brings a much cooler airmass

across South Central Texas. Monday morning's lows over parts of

the Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau are expected to drop

into the low to mid 30s with wind chills into the low to mid 20s.

Temperatures into Tuesday morning will become even lower thanks

to light winds and clearing high level cloud cover. This will lead

to a light freeze across most of the Hill Country, in addition to

portions of the I-35 Corridor and Coastal Plains.

This cold episode could bring challenges as growing season may

have started over portions of the region. Therefore, we recommend

to protect Plants, People and Pets during the next few mornings.

After Tuesday morning, expect warmer temperatures to prevail

through the rest of the week.
