San Antonio facing a winter storm with snow and icy conditions.
San Antonio is bracing for a winter storm expected to hit from Monday evening through Tuesday afternoon, with weather experts issuing a Winter Storm Warning for the area. Conditions are forecasted to bring a mix of snow and ice, resulting in treacherous travel and dangerously slick roads. Wind chills are likely to drop into single digits, prompting residents to prepare for severe cold. Other regions in Texas are also under similar warnings, indicating a widespread impact from the storm. Citizens are encouraged to stock up on essentials and stay safe during the freezing temperatures.
San Antonio is gearing up for a wintry mix that’s set to hit the region starting Monday evening and continuing through Tuesday afternoon. Weather experts have issued a Winter Storm Warning for much of the area, including Bexar County, as a low-pressure system approaches, likely causing quite a bit of chaos on the roads.
Let’s break it down. The cloud cover will start to roll in Monday, and while we may see some sunshine in the morning, don’t let that fool you! Afternoon temperatures are only expected to linger in the chilly 30s. As night falls, begin bracing for a potential icy mix that could create slippery roads, especially on those bridges, flyovers, and overpasses that seem to freeze over in no time. Be careful out there!
As this low-pressure system deepens, the winds will pick up, making the air feel even chillier. Wind chills might plummet into the single digits and teens late Monday night into Tuesday morning, so get ready to pull out those winter coats and gloves!
Traveling during this storm could be tricky, folks! Reports indicate that from Monday night to Tuesday morning, roads will be slick and treacherous. Expect some snow and sleet accumulations up to 2 inches, along with light ice buildup of about 0.10 inch. The bulk of the precipitation is expected to occur between 6 p.m. Monday and 10 a.m. Tuesday.
By Tuesday afternoon, the worst should be over, with the winter storm moving eastward and skies possibly starting to clear up. However, be careful – any wet areas from the storm could refreeze, creating dangerous black ice patches that could plague travelers on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
It’s not just San Antonio that’s in for a chilly surprise. Other areas along and east of the Interstate 35 corridor, like Austin, New Braunfels, San Marcos, Round Rock, Fredericksburg, Kerrville, and Boerne, are also under winter storm warnings. In fact, higher snow totals are expected in regions to the north and east of San Antonio, especially around Austin, where they could see up to 1 to 2 inches of snow!
The cold weather isn’t going anywhere too soon, either! Forecasters are predicting that freezing temperatures could stick around into the weekend, with lows dipping into the single digits in some areas, and lows in the low teens for others. After this storm passes, many people can expect a cooling blast that might just keep those winter blues lingering a bit longer.
Along the Gulf Coast, places like Corpus Christi may experience a bit of freezing rain, though snow is not on the horizon for them. On top of all this, cities all across the South, including Houston, New Orleans, and parts of Georgia, are also on high alert with winter storm warnings.
As we head into this winter storm, keep your families and loved ones safe by staying updated and being prepared. Make sure you’ve stocked up on essentials and that your vehicles are winter-ready. We’ll get through this storm together, San Antonio! Stay warm and stay safe!
