In the wake of Thursday’s cold front, temperatures are much cooler. Peaking into the 50s, this will likely be one of the greatest St. Patrick’s Days in Austin history.
The KXAN First Warning Weather team expects the weather to stay cooler all weekend, before bouncing back into the 70s by the middle of next week.
