However, we have had many more above average days and likely break the warmest March on record. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Highs today\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/UOWJUISYUBHK5DKQ4N3QRA37AI.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"565\" \/>Highs today(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Today will be much warmer compared to yesterday with highs in the 80s to lower 90s. Breezy winds and dry conditions during the afternoon will bring elevated fire danger. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Tonight, we don\u2019t cool off much. Temperatures stay mild, falling into the 50s, with a light breeze continuing. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Temperature trend\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/RQCQIW6RSZENPLDSBRIP2A2VGU.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"560\" \/>Temperature trend(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Monday the heat will intensify as highs climb into the low 90s, and the dryline sets up nearby. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">This entire set up is being driven by a southwest flow pattern overhead. This brings in warm, dry air and keeps the atmosphere relatively stable <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">By Tuesday, things may get a bit more complicated. A cold front, the dryline, and small disturbances in the atmosphere all try to come together. If they line up at just the right time, storms may develop. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"7 Day Forecast\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/5J7SB25K3NHQTAGN6G4VR4RLI4.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"558\" \/>7 Day Forecast(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 KCBD.
