Through the afternoon, winds will gradually turn back out of the south and east, allowing Gulf moisture to begin pushing back into the region ahead of a reinforcing cold front expected to move through later Thursday, eventually sweeping off the coast by early Friday.

With the area finding some moisture recovery, this front could squeeze out a few showers as it makes its way south across the region, though coverage will be isolated, with most expected to stay dry.

Behind the second front, temperatures will settle back into the upper 60s and low 70s each afternoon through the weekend, with plenty of sunshine accompanying the cooler temperatures. All in all, a pretty comfortable stretch of fall weather is shaping up across the Brazos Valley through the rest of the week!
