(2) Clouds break again by this afternoon as the front passes with abundant sunshine expected late week into the early weekend.
(3) A second, potentially stronger, upper air low pressure will move through Texas by late Saturday night into Sunday and Sunday night with increased clouds and precipitation changes along with colder than average temperatures expected.
(4) Skies will clear, in the wake of the system, late Sunday night into the early part of next week.
