Get Ready for a Weather Shake-Up in San Antonio!
San Antonio has been feeling like it’s straight out of summer lately, but that’s all about to change as a cold front rolls into town. After experiencing an unseasonably warm start to February, where the average high temperature hit a whopping 82.3 degrees during the first eight days—an impressive 17 degrees above average—local folks are gearing up for some cooler days ahead.
The Hottest February Kick-off in History!
That’s right, folks! This year has set records as it marks the hottest start to February in San Antonio’s history. While residents may have been soaking up the sunshine and warm temperatures, it looks like Mother Nature has other plans. By Sunday, the temperatures are expected to max out in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees before the cold front swoops in.
What’s Coming This Weekend?
The forecast for early Sunday promises a mild and muggy vibe until around 8 a.m.. However, don’t get too cozy because by 10 a.m., that cold front will be making its grand entrance. Expect a significant temperature drop, with readings slipping down to the upper 50s as the front passes through.
As the day unfolds, you might notice afternoon temperatures creeping up just a tad, but don’t expect much more warmth. It looks like we’re settling in the 60s for most of the day and once the sun sets, the thermometer will start to dip into the 50s after around 7 p.m.. So, if you’re planning to head out Sunday night, make sure to grab a jacket!
Say Goodbye to the 80s!
When Monday rolls in, San Antonio won’t be basking in summer-like warmth any longer. Early morning temperatures will linger in the upper 40s to low 50s. It’s a stark contrast to the balmy weather we’ve been enjoying! Even when the day warms up, temperatures are expected to stay slightly below average, peaking in the upper 50s.
And if that’s not enough to entice you to grab your umbrella, scattered showers or light drizzle could make an appearance on Monday morning, but don’t expect a heavy downpour. Rainfall is predicted to be quite light, so you might just get by with a light jacket or your favorite hoodie.
More Rain on the Horizon?
As we head into Tuesday, the rain chances are set to ramp up in the morning. Prepare for possible wet roadways as the showers may linger, but by Tuesday afternoon, things seem to clear up with warm temperatures back in the low 60s.
The Week Ahead: Another Cold Front?
Weather models are indicating that a secondary cold front could make its way through the region later in the week. While exact timing remains uncertain, Wednesday is shaping up to be interesting. Morning temperatures will start in the 50s but shift to the low to mid-70s in the afternoon—perfect for a stroll or some outdoor activity.
However, keep your rain gear handy, as there’s a 30 to 40% chance of scattered showers and storms on Wednesday. Additionally, don’t be caught off guard by the next cold front scheduled to push through late Wednesday or early Thursday.
After this next round, brace yourself for swift changes in the weather. With temperatures plunging into the upper 30s and 40s, and high temps only hitting the 50s, it’s safe to say San Antonio will feel like it’s in full winter mode!
Bottom Line: A Rollercoaster of Weather Awaits!
So, as the cold front approaches, San Antonio residents should prepare for a weekend of fluctuating temperatures and possible showers. Keep your sweaters and jackets handy, because winter is making a comeback—even if it’s just for a little while!
