San Antonio Weather Roller Coaster: Warm Temperatures and Freeze Risks
Hey there, San Antonio! It’s been a wild winter, hasn’t it? Just as we’re all dreaming of sunnier days and blooming flowers, temperatures are finally taking a delightful upswing. As we roll into this week, get ready to soak in those *mild temperatures* soaring into the 70s and 80s!
Spring Is Just Around the Corner
Spring officially strikes its pose on March 20, 2025, and it couldn’t come any sooner! Many are already shaking off the winter blues and looking forward to longer days and warmer weather. But remember, just because the cold days feel nearly over doesn’t mean we’re entirely out of the woods yet!
Drought Woes and Winter’s Freezing Chill
Speaking of cold, let’s not forget the chilly stats from this winter. Since December 1, our lovely city has only seen **2.28 inches** of rainfall. That’s way below what we typically expect around this time. It’s no secret that the San Antonio region is **grappling with extreme drought conditions**, which means we’ll need to keep our fingers crossed for some good rains ahead!
This winter, the city experienced **15 days of temperatures at or below freezing**. Curious how that compares? Well, last winter, we only clocked in nine freezing days. So, it seems this winter decided to put on a show! Some areas in the Hill Country are fairing even worse, tallying up a whopping **29 freezing days**!
Historical Freeze Game
Speaking of chills, today marks the average last freeze date here in San Antonio. Historical records remind us that freezing temperatures can happen even as late as April, with the latest reported freeze being on April 3, 1987. While chances are slimmer, we shouldn’t entirely rule out the risk of a sudden cold snap, especially in these unusual weather patterns!
What’s Coming Up?
Looking ahead, San Antonio is gearing up for a quieter weather pattern. Prepare for some foggy mornings on Tuesday and Wednesday, especially along and east of I-35, where visibility could drop below **1/4 mile**! But don’t worry too much – that morning fog should burn off by noon, although low clouds might linger a bit into the early afternoon on Wednesday.
Highs for the week are looking cozy, with the mercury expected to stay in the 70s throughout. Just keep in mind that Friday morning could be the coldest of the week, dipping to the **lower 40s**. As for rain, there’s a **slight chance of a stray shower** as a weak front rolls in on Thursday morning, but don’t expect anything significant.
The Weekend Weather Buzz
As we look to the weekend, a storm system might creep in with a hint of rain on Sunday. However, total precipitation is expected to remain quite low, so don’t plan your umbrellas just yet!
Final Thoughts
In a nutshell, San Antonio is kicking off the transition from winter to spring with some upbeat temperature vibes. Enjoy those mild days, and perhaps keep an eye on the horizon in case those pesky freezing temps decide to pull a fast one on us. Whether it’s cool or cozy outside, remember to relish in the Texas charm and warmth – both physically and in community spirit!
