SAN ANTONIO – Here we go again. It was just two days ago that we dealt with a high wind event.

The weather on Friday looks to be very similar.

KEY POINTS:

  • A cold front will arrive around midnight Friday, kicking up gusty northwesterly winds as it pushes through
  • Between midnight and mid-morning Friday, winds could gust between 40 and 50 mph
  • Like Monday’s wind event, some minor damage is possible to tree limbs and power lines.
  • You’ll want to secure any outdoor, loose items
  • An elevated wildfire danger will exist, especially west of San Antonio
  • Winds will subside by Friday afternoon
  • Mountain Cedar could rise, too, due to the gusty, dry conditions

This wind event will be followed by a powerful arctic front on Sunday morning that will bring another round of gusty winds.
