San Antonio Prepares for a Warm-Up After Cold Snap As Rain Chances Increase
San Antonio, it looks like you’re finally about to shake off that cold snap! The city has just endured its coldest five-day stretch of this winter, giving you an extra reason to celebrate as warmer weather rolls back in.
Freezing Temperatures One Last Time
Mark your calendars for Friday morning, as temperatures are set to dip to or just below freezing. Expect lows to hover in the upper 20s to near 30 degrees in the San Antonio metro area, while the Hill Country will experience colder temperatures, with lows around 20 degrees. But fear not! That cold morning will soon give way to sunny skies, allowing the temperatures to rise throughout the day.
A Nice Afternoon Ahead
By 11 a.m. on Friday, temperatures are predicted to claw their way up to 50 degrees, with a final high hitting around 58 degrees by afternoon. And if you’re worried about wind, breathe easy – it’s expected to be quite light, blowing in at around 5 to 10 miles per hour. It’s shaping up to be a lovely day, perfect for a stroll or perhaps enjoying a hot drink while soaking in the sun.
The Weekend Forecast
As we head into the weekend, South Texas will be welcoming some moisture from the Gulf Coast. Prepare yourself for overcast skies by Saturday morning, but at least those chilly temps will be behind us, as morning temperatures are expected to be in the mid-30s. Saturday’s highs are projected to crawl into the upper 50s with mostly dry weather, although there may be chances for some light drizzle as the day progresses.
Sunday Showers on the Horizon
Sunday looks interesting with an expected uptick in rain chances. Morning temperatures should flirt with the 50s and low 60s. As the day shifts, anticipate a cold front rolling in, which could bring temperatures back down into the upper 40s and 50s. The overall rain chances will be around 40%, but rainfall totals are expected to remain light. That’s good news if you’ve got weekend plans!
Looking Ahead to Monday
As we slide into Monday, be prepared for a cool and cloudy day, with morning temps lingering in the upper 40s and only reaching mid- to upper 50s by afternoon. There might be some light rain or drizzle hanging around, but for the most part, many areas are anticipated to stay dry. It’s looking like a typical winter day, which is a refreshing change from the constant cold.
A Significant Weather System Approaching
Now, here’s where it gets a bit more exciting! A significant weather system will be arriving in the middle of next week. This could bring scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly by Tuesday evening, with chances ramping up even further on Wednesday and Thursday. Rainfall totals could exceed an inch across the area, adding some much-needed moisture to the soil.
Warmer Nights Ahead
Next week won’t just bring rain; it also promises to warm things up significantly. Overnight temperatures will remain much milder, with highs in the 60s and lows settling in the 50s from Tuesday onwards. It looks like San Antonio is moving towards a cozier climate after a chilly start!
So there you have it, folks! Grab your jackets for one last cold morning, but get ready to enjoy the sunshine and the much-anticipated warm-up. Let’s embrace what the weather gods have in store for us!
