Texas Weather Takes a Wild Ride: What to Expect This Weekend and Beyond!
Get ready to grab your flip-flops and then your winter coats, Texas! This state is in for a dramatic rollercoaster of temperatures as we shift from summer-like weather straight into the grips of winter. It’s been quite a journey since the start of 2025, and if you’re in cities like San Antonio or Austin, you might feel like you’re living in two different seasons all at once!
The Warm-Up
Looking at the forecast for this stunning Saturday, Texans can expect temperatures to soar into the 80s and lower 90s. San Antonio will kick things off with overcast skies and a touch of patchy fog, starting the day at a comfy mid- to upper 60°F. But buckle up, because by noon, the forecast predicts a jump to about 80°F. That’s right, it could reach a scorching high of 88 to 90 degrees this Saturday! This could potentially mark the earliest the city has ever hit 90°F – beating the previous record set on February 9, 1962!
But San Antonio isn’t the only hot spot! Cities like Abilene and San Angelo are creeping up towards the 90-degree mark, and the Austin metro area isn’t far behind, eyeing the upper 80s with a good chance of hitting 90°F as well. Meanwhile, places close to the Rio Grande, such as Laredo and Del Rio, could see temperatures soaring as high as 91 to 93 degrees!
Don’t Get Too Comfortable!
As always in Texas, things are about to change, so don’t get too cozy just yet! A strong cold front is expected to sweep through Texas this Sunday morning at around 8 a.m. As it pushes southward, it will bring a significant temperature drop. By Sunday, San Antonio will likely wake up in the mid-60s, but after the front rolls in, you can expect to see high temperatures only reaching the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. In fact, the post-front conditions could momentarily whisk us down into the upper 50s but don’t worry, we might bounce back into the 60s later on!
Additionally, Sunday night is anticipated to throw us into the upper 40s or low 50s. And come Monday, the chill will really set in across the state, with San Antonio’s highs hovering in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees. So, definitely keep those cozy sweaters handy!
Prepare for More Rain!
Looking ahead, a secondary cold front may crash the party late Wednesday into Thursday, which means we’re going to see some below-average temperatures sticking around for a while. The forecast for San Antonio later in the week is looking cool, with expected highs only in the 50s. Morning lows could dip down into the upper 30s to low 40s, so warm up those blankets!
The forecast isn’t all cool and breezy, though—South Texas is bracing for rain! On Monday, there’s a 30% chance of rain, which is expected to climb to 40% to 50% on Tuesday and Wednesday. You might want to pack an umbrella just in case. While we may see some scattered showers and mild storms, widespread severe weather isn’t expected—so breathe easy on that front!
A Quick Recap
So there you have it, Texas! From a sweltering Saturday to a brisk Sunday and potential rain by midweek, you’re in for a weather rollercoaster that will keep you guessing. Stay warm out there, Texans, and don’t forget that whatever the weather brings, it’s just another day in the unpredictable, beautiful life in Texas!
