According to the National Weather Service, the high temperature in Austin today will be only 59 degrees. Very heavy rain and high winds blew through central Texas this morning, signaling a cold front and the start of cooler autumn weather.
The Austin-American Statesman described the chilly temperatures in an article today: “To get an idea of how powerful the front was this morning, consider this: the temperature dropped from 70 degrees to 56 degrees in one hour at the airport, which recorded 1.52 inches of rain.â€
The cold weather extends to the Dallas – Fort Worth area, where the National Weather Service predicts a high of only 57 degrees. The chilly weather and rain are prompting many people to search for fun indoor activities.Â
A great indoor activity for the whole family is the DFW Elite Toy Museum, where children of all ages can explore the impressive collection of antique automotive-related toys, including pedal cars and carousel cars, tin cars, race cars, powered large scale toys, construction equipment toys, and many more fine examples of automotive toy history. The DFW Elite Toy Museum was founded by Ron Sturgeon, owner of DFW Elite Auto Rental, DFW Drive Your Dream, and DFW Elite Car Club.
The museum is located in Fort Worth at 5940 Eden Drive, Haltom City, TX 76117. Admission is free and the museum is open 9-5 on weekdays and 9-4 on Saturdays. The toy museum has extensive online photo galleries that make for great browsing for fans of automotive toys.
