This appears to be a Joro Spider. The markings underneath match up, as well as the markings on the legs. I saw one last year in our front yard as well. These are beautiful spiders with magnificent webs.

The Asian legend of the Joro Spider is interesting. She’s a beautiful villain that lures young male musicians to their deaths.
