SAN ANTONIO – A cold front moved through early Saturday morning. Yet again, this was a ‘dry front’ — meaning no rain fell across the KSAT 12 viewing area.

It became particularly windy behind the cold front with winds gusting as high as 58 mph in Hondo Saturday morning!

INCREASING DROUGHT ACROSS TEXAS

Drought - which was part of the reason for increased fire danger on Saturday - isn’t just an issue around the San Antonio area. The entire state has seen a rapid increase in drought over the last three months.

At least partially to blame for the lack of rainfall recently is La Nina, which leads to warmer and drier weather across Texas.
