Either way, everyone’s asking about the New Year’s Eve forecast!

Forecast confidence is high that Tuesday - New Year’s Eve - will be rain-free. However, cloud cover will be increasing throughout the day.

In fact, skies are expected to be overcast by the all-important hour of midnight.

It will also be cool on New Year’s Eve, with temperatures expected to be in the 50s.

By New Year’s Day, rain chances kick in, as an approaching low pressure system gets closer to South Texas.

New Year's Day

Wednesday will also be a very cool day, with high temperatures only expected to reach the low-50s!

Rain chances are expected to continue into early Thursday, before some clearing by Thursday afternoon.

It does appear that the rain that falls over San Antonio will be very light. This will result in low rainfall totals from Wednesday to early Thursday, only around one-quarter of an inch.

However, those that live southeast of San Antonio - on the Coastal Bend - could see some rainfall totals closer to one inch from Wednesday to Thursday.

The KSAT Weather Team will be keeping a very close eye on the weather for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, so keep checking KSAT.com and the updated KSAT Weather App for the latest forecast.
