AUSTIN, Texas — A Flash Flood Watch remains until 1 p.m. for much of Central Texas after a strong cold front swung through late Wednesday evening, leaving in its wake a swath of near-record temperatures Thursday morning.
Temperatures plummeted nearly 20 degrees Thursday morning from the previous morning with the biggest hit out in Gillespie County near Harper. Almost in the upper 40s for surface temperatures with a feels like temperature in the mid 40s under a strong north wind.
The Austin metro came close to its record lows with a couple locations like Del Rio and San Antonio actually setting new morning low records for September 10.
The forecast remains gloomy, chilly and damp during the late morning and early afternoon with highs struggling to get into the 70s for several areas of the region.
An additional 1 to 2 inches of rain will be possible east of I-35 with higher amounts west but the 8 to 14 day outlooks looks to paint a brighter forecast with near chances for average afternoon highs and slightly above average rainfall.
