Fall sweeps through Texas
{{date|October  7, 2005}}

Walking outside this morning, the average seasoned [[Texas|Texan]] will notice something amiss &mdash; the eerie quiet.  The droning of air conditioners and insects has stopped, replaced with the scent of hardwood smoke and a slight shiver.

A pocket of {{w|Arctic air}} finally pushed through well into the [[Gulf of Mexico]], plunging temperatures across the state into the 50s and 60s.  While the chilliest lows are not expected to stay for more than a few days, forecasters are expecting Texas' normal fall pattern of a cooler front about every week to continue.  Average weekly temperatures should reach steadily lower as the season progresses.

'''Stormy Weather'''

As an added bonus to many, rain trickled down onto {{w|San Antonio}} and many other Texas cities. This rain has relieved areas which have been dry for months.
