**Headline: Central Texas Braces for Showers and Storms as Cold Front Moves In**
**Austin, TX –** Central Texas residents can expect a chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon as a weak cold front pushes into the region, according to Good Morning Texas Meteorologist Josh Johns.
While the front isn’t expected to bring a significant drop in temperatures, it will provide the necessary lift for storm development. “I don’t expect widespread heavy rain or flooding, but some of these storms could have heavy downpours,” Johns warned. “That may lead to street flooding in spots for the afternoon commute.”
After yesterday’s high of 102 degrees – the hottest day of the year and the second triple-digit reading of 2025 – today’s temperatures will be slightly lower, reaching the upper 90s. However, high humidity will make it feel like triple digits. The storm activity is expected to diminish later tonight.
The weekend forecast includes continued chances for showers with temperatures in the low to mid-90s. Monday may bring a greater chance of rain. “Models are being pretty consistent on bringing one of those during the first half of the day Monday” Johns explained.
Looking ahead to next week, a high-pressure ridge is expected to build to the west, drying out the region and pushing highs back near 100 degrees. Residents are advised to stay tuned to Good Morning Texas for the latest updates.
