What was portrayed to be a seismic shift by Texas fans looks now as though it was only momentarily destabilizing for Texas A&M baseball. Texas thought they were essentially vivisecting a program that had completely passed them by; after all, the Aggies ended Texas’s season two out of the last three years, and now the Longhorns thought they were getting the coach that was primarily responsible for that level of play.

Severe weather is not likely, but some heavy downpours, gusty winds, and even small hail could be possible at times.

Mostly cloudy skies and scattered rain chances are expected to continue into next week which should keep our PM temps below average with some only warming into the upper 80s for Tuesday and Wednesday.
