TYLER, TX (EAST TEXAS NEWS) — Good morning, East Texas! Wednesday opens with cool conditions, with temperatures in the upper 30s to around 40 °F this morning, but at least we’re above freezing. Plenty of sunshine and southwest winds will push temperatures higher this afternoon, with highs in the 70s, roughly between 70 and 75 °F. With today’s breezy conditions and low humidity, East Texas remains under an elevated fire danger, so outdoor burning should be avoided if possible.

Sunshine and southerly winds will drive Friday’s highs into the mid-to-upper 80s °F.
