Chance of snow for some to start the weekend

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:33:06 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Despite afternoon sunshine, temperatures were mainly only in the 50s today after being in the 80s on Thursday. Thanks to the cold front that brought severe storms overnight we'll be staying cold through early next week.Tonight clouds will thicken back up as a disturbance approaches from the southwest. This will introduce the chance for rain and even some snow to parts of Central Texas. We think rain chances will favor areas south of Austin late tonight through Saturday. North of Austin should stay dry.As rain helps to cool the air early Saturday morning, temperatures in parts of the Hill Country may cool enough to see the rain turn over to snow. The latest trends in our computer models have shifted the higher snowfall chances farther southwest, but it's still possible some grassy coatings or dustings fall in the coldest of spots Saturday morning.This map shows you where we think snow is most likely. Road accumulations and travel impacts are unlikely as the snow woul...
