A powerful cold front rolled in Saturday night, bringing a sharp temperature drop and more rain overnight. Sunday will feel noticeably colder, with light showers possible and clearer skies ahead.
The area was hit by heavy rain and loud thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon. Now, a strong cold front has truly moved in. Because of this, temps dropped by more than 20 degrees in just a few hours, going from 82°F during the day to the upper 50s by 10 p.m.
It will stay cooler on Sunday morning, with temperatures barely staying in the 50s when you wake up. A light jacket is a good choice for people who get up early.
There is still a chance of lingering showers and scattered thunderstorms overnight, especially since moisture is still moving around the area. A few rough storms could still happen before dawn, but they won't be broad or very bad.
Sunday will start cold and damp, and scattered rains will fall mostly south of I-10. The chance of rain is low but not zero, so if you're leaving early, bring an umbrella with you. Around noon, high pressure will start to build behind the front. This will help clear the clouds and start drying out the area.
The weather will be drier than usual on Monday and Tuesday, but cooler than usual. Lows in the morning will stay in the upper 40s to low 50s, and highs during the day will stay mild. You can expect clear, crisp skies, which are great for early spring, but you'll need a jacket for early morning drives or school drop-offs.
After a big change in the weather over the weekend, we're now in the middle of a short but noticeable cool spell to start the week. Take care to stay warm and dry, and enjoy the sun as it comes back early this week.
