McAllen’s Veterans Day starts gray and mild, with cloudy skies and temperatures around 66 degrees early Wednesday. The clouds are expected to stick around through the afternoon, when the city should top out near 80.

Cooler Midweek, Small Rain Chance

The shift is cooler than the forecast Hoodline reported Tuesday, when Wednesday was expected to reach closer to 80 degrees. The updated outlook now has McAllen warming to 82 and turning sunny Friday, a reminder that the Rio Grande Valley can change outfits before lunch.

Weekend Warmth Comes With A Shower Chance

Friday’s sunshine gives way to a mostly sunny Saturday with a slight chance of showers after noon and a high near 83. Sunday looks warmer, near 84; winds may gust to around 22 mph.

Next Week Eases Back

Rain chances stay low through Sunday, then Monday looks mostly sunny with highs in the lower 80s, followed by cloudy skies Tuesday with a high around 68. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for McAllen in the current outlook, though outdoor plans Saturday may want a little flexibility because of the shower chance and breezier conditions.
