As San Antonio sees its yearly influx of visitors, some might get caught a little off-guard this week. A strong cold front will not only give us a round of severe storms, but will bring cold air into South Texas. We’ll see some of the coldest weather since mid-February!
So whether you’re visiting from out of state or are in San Antonio just planning out your week -- you’ll want to pay close attention to the forecast over the next few days. Here are some of the highlights:
THURSDAY: TRANSITION DAY
- You’ll notice gusty south winds along with added humidity and above-average temperatures on Thursday (by far the warmest day in the extended forecast).
- After finding patchy drizzle and isolated light showers earlier in the morning, a bit of afternoon clearing will boost temps to near 80°.
- A stray shower is possible in the afternoon, but the real show arrives late Thursday night, pre-dawn Friday.
- The cold front is scheduled to arrive just after midnight in San Antonio, bringing a line of storms to South Central Texas. Some of the storms could be strong to severe, with gusty winds and hail the main threats.
FRIDAY: A SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM
- A few lingering showers & storms will be possible by the Friday morning commute, but it’s the temperature drop that may really surprise people (unless you’re reading this! 😉)
- A healthy north wind gusts 40-45 mph Friday morning, making it feel like the 30s for most of us.
- High temperatures will struggle to get out of the low 50s as rain chances taper off throughout the day.
- Skies will also stay fairly cloudy, adding to what will feel like a winter day.
WEEKEND: COLD & POTENTIALLY DAMP
- Unseasonably cold conditions continue this weekend. Morning 30s and 40s will lead in highs in the 40s and 50s Saturday and Sunday.
- It’s looking more and more likely that a few showers could approach from the west Saturday morning. It’s also looking possible that some snow flakes could try to mix in with some of that rain, especially across portions of the Hill Country. We also *may* need to watch for that in northern Bexar County, too. Travel impacts are still not expected, but some minor accumulations could be found on elevated / grassy surfaces. We’ll keep eyes on it!
MONDAY: BACK TO WORK AND SCHOOL WITH JACKETS AND UMBRELLAS
- Monday continues the damp and cold theme, with a continued chance of showers, while temperatures potentially remain in the 40s. Skies are forecast to remain cloudy.
WARMING TREND NEXT WEEK
- After a stretch of winter-like temperatures, we’ll finally warm into the 60s on Tuesday and into the 70s on Wednesday.
