Austin may see fall weather with  cold fronts in coming days

Austin may receive fall weather in the form of not just one but two cold fronts in the coming days.

According to the National Weather Service, Friday will bring a mild cool front lasting into Saturday night. Sunday will then bring above average temperatures followed by a lasting cold front on Monday.

The cold front is likely to bring damp and rainy weather along with it. According to The Weather Channel, temperatures will crash down on Tuesday with a high of 58 degrees and a low of 50 degrees. However, showers are likely to last through Wednesday.

After Wednesday, temperatures should return to a range of 70-degree weather. Though these temperatures follow the current forecast, it is still possible to change depending on whether the front stalls in the north or moves through.

We're thankful for you in this difficult year

The challenge for all of us this Thanksgiving is letting go of what we've lost in this tough year and treasure what we still have.

We at Austonia are thankful for you. Since we launched our site in April, we've done our best to connect you to Austin, with stories ranging from the important to the delightfully superficial. Your response has been strong and we are grateful.

At this time of thanks, we have a variety of stories for you. Laura Figi writes about "a greener holiday," food trends, and Friday shopping. Emma Freer writes about a nearby annual Native American heritage celebration. And Roberto Ontiveros brings us a thoughtful piece that looks at the human toll of Austin's gentrification—the often painful flip side to having shiny new bars, restaurants, and apartments—in this case it's displacement of the Black community on East 11th Street. Finally, we ask you how you're celebrating the holiday this year.

Our best to you and your loved ones!

—The Austonia Team

Aztec dancers perform as part of the virtual grand finale of the Sacred Springs Power on Nov. 21.

Normally, the Sacred Springs Powwow draws a crowd of thousands to San Marcos, where it is hosted each year by the Indigenous Cultures Institute.

But this year's event, like so many others, occurred online. Sixty Native American dancers competed via streamed performances on Saturday, and vendors, singers and storytellers submitted videos for the audience to view at their leisure.

5 ways to have a greener holiday this year

(Marco Verch/CC)

The holiday season is the most wonderful time of year; Christmas trees, Thanksgiving feasts, good will toward men and holiday movies never cease to warm up the coldest season. However, no matter how wonderful it is, it's also a very wasteful time of year. Tinsel, paper snowflakes, single-use wrapping paper, excess food, Amazon boxes and cranking up the heat have an impact on the planet.
