I'm sure all are watching the weather for next week.  A couple of weather sites for you:

http://www.weather.com/weather/today/l/USTX0482:1:US

http://www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:78624.1.99999?sp=KTXFREDE38

If the wunderground doesn't work, go to wunderground.com, Fredericksburg, click on one of the circled degrees, over to the right, click on the blue Full Forecast, scroll down for a graphical look.

This morning both the weather channel and wunderground were saying 50% rain Wed., 60% Thur. and Fri. morning, clear Fri. afternoon, Sat. and Sun.

Now, about 7pm, Thur. evening, the weather channel is saying 50% Wed., 60% Thur., Fri. and Sat.  Wunderground is showing rain only Sat. morning.

I've been in the San Marcos area for about 3 years, and have found that wunderground is a little more accurate than the weather channel, but neither is very accurate.  The TV weatherpeople are about the same.  Every week for the last month and a half, there has been a forecast of rain for the following week.  As you approach the following week, the forecast pushes rain back a day or two, then no predicted rain at all.  I believe the Fredericksburg area actually got some rain last week.  We have had virtually none around San Marcos for quite a while.

I lived in Houston for many years, and always thought there was a dart board involved in predictions.  I hate to say it, but the most accurate forcasting there was the child porn guy, Ed Brandon.

Temps are showing 70's during the days, mid to high 50's by early mornings.  Temps have been fairly close in the predictions.

By Tues.-Wed. next week, you should have a better feel.
