Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:19:07 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Many communities will see freezing cold mornings through Saturday as a reinforcing shot of cool air blows into Central Texas.As northerly flow continues, dry, sunny weather is in the forecast for the rest of the week with cool days and cold nights. Overnight low temperatures in rural valleys will freeze every morning through Saturday morning. Downtown Austin will likely stay just above freezing each of those mornings, but it would be a safe idea to protect pets, pipes, plants and people.The final weekend of 2023 looks to bring warmer, sunny afternoons, but another dry cold front blows through New Year's Eve keeping jacket weather around for the first few days of 2024.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:19:07 GMT

With franchise quarterback Kirk Cousins set to become a free agent this offseason, the Vikings are a few months away from having to make a big decision.Will they sign him to a new contract? Will they let him walk away? All of that remains to be seen.If the past couple of months are any indication, however, the Vikings have to at least be considering the idea of keeping Cousins. They have seen what life can look like without a competent player under center. The deficiencies of veteran Nick Mullens and journeyman Josh Dobbs have underscored the value of Cousins.Just ask star receiver Justin Jefferson, who, until recently, had never caught a pass in the NFL from anybody other than Cousins.“It’s definitely tough without him being there,” Jefferson said. “His leadership.

He even succeeded for a time in tackling the project’s biggest flaw, British Euroscepticism.

The Mayor of Merthyr sat on a bench next to his French counterpart, who disappeared straight after kick-off and did not return until it was time to present the trophies.The Mayor of Clichy told his somewhat offended guest that he had been on the telephone, trying to resolve his country’s financial crisis. In France, it was perfectly normal for Jacques Delors to secure his local power base by serving as mayor when h...
