As the new week begins, Texans will trade umbrellas for sunglasses, with the forecast promising mostly sunny skies from Monday through Wednesday. Temperatures are pegged to hover around the mid-90s, while a south wind of 5 to 10 mph picks up, at times generating gusts up to 25 mph. Evening conditions will offer little respite, persistently sticking around the mid-70s, according to the detailed outlook from the National Weather Service.
