Elite Comedy and Championship Hoops Hit the Metroplex
WEEKEND SNAPSHOT
Expect a warm but damp weekend with highs reaching 88°F and lows near 75°F. Light rain is forecasted for both Friday (96% chance) and Sunday (100% chance), making Saturday's overcast skies the most reliable window for being outdoors.
Monitor air quality and wind patterns as active wildfires are reported within 26 miles of the Metroplex. Several regional trails, including areas in Big Thicket and Guadalupe Mountains, are currently closed due to maintenance and safety hazards.
