Farther east, a developing storm system is bringing scattered rain showers around the Little Rock area, and we’re observing this system stretching its influence toward Jackson. Up north, close to Kansas City, the radar shows heavier rain, signaling the beginning stages of a more concentrated weather system moving towards the northeast. In contrast, Oklahoma City and Midland are under clear skies, allowing for pleasant conditions without interruption. Meanwhile, the Gulf Coast near New Orleans is experiencing a few isolated showers.
In Austin, expect a mild start tomorrow morning with partly cloudy skies. Temperatures begin at 61 degrees at 7 AM, climbing to 63 degrees by 9 AM. By 11 AM, the temperature reaches 71 degrees.
