Unseasonably Warm Weather on the Horizon for South Texas!
Hey there, folks in San Antonio! Are you ready for some spectacular weather? If you were hoping for a cold winter weekend, you might be a bit disappointed because it looks like South Texas is geared up for some seriously warm temperatures that will make you feel like spring is already here.
Saturday Insights
Let’s kick things off with a preview of Saturday morning. Early birds can expect temperatures to start out in the lower to mid-40s, which is definitely chilly! However, fear not! The skies are looking mostly clear meaning it’s a perfect day for some outdoor activities. Just a little while later, by around 10 a.m., you can expect San Antonio to warm up to a delightful 60 degrees. And oh, it will just keep getting better!
By noontime, temperatures are expected to surge to a pleasant 70 degrees. And if you’re out and about in the afternoon, prepare for a peak high of about 76 degrees! This is over 10 degrees above the usual February average, so you can finally ditch those heavy coats!
Winds and Dry Air to Enjoy
With light winds blowing in from the south at around 5 to 10 mph, you’ll want to find a nice spot to enjoy the sunshine. The air is forecasted to be dry with minimal cloud cover, which means it’s the perfect opportunity to soak up those rays. Make sure you have your sunscreen ready!
Sunday Sunshine
As we ease into Sunday, the morning will see temperatures dropping into the upper 40s, but don’t fret. The afternoon is set to be just as lovely as the day before. San Antonio is expected to reach around 78 degrees for the afternoon high! The southerly winds will pick up a bit more, reaching around 15 mph, bringing along even warmer air from Mexico.
Kickstarting the Week
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Monday is going to be a real treat! Temperatures could soar into the lower 80s, getting mighty close to the daily record of 85 degrees that was set all the way back in 1911 for February 3. It’s time to celebrate with some outdoor fun because many areas across Texas will also be basking in the warm 80s!
A Warm Week Ahead
Looking ahead, Tuesday through Thursday is looking like a continuation of this warm weather pattern. Afternoon highs in the low 80s will greet you as morning cloud cover starts to clear up, opening the door to lovely sunshine. The chances for rain are non-existent, and low temperatures are expected to remain pretty mild, only dipping to the lower to mid-60s at night.
This week could very well be among the top five warmest starts to February ever recorded in San Antonio. So if you’re looking for an excuse to enjoy the outdoors, now is your chance!
A Small Change on the Horizon?
Now, here’s a twist! Long-range forecasts are suggesting that a cold front might roll in by Thursday evening. But don’t worry too much—it’s not predicted to bring any extreme arctic air. Highs on Friday could potentially dip into the upper 60s or even the 70s following the front’s arrival. So while we might have to pack away our swimsuits briefly, you’ll still be enjoying a mild winter!
So, What’s the Bottom Line?
Grab your sunglasses, call your friends, and get ready to revel in this unexpected burst of warmth! Whether you’re planning a picnic, a hike, or just relaxing outside, this weekend and the week ahead are shaping up to be truly delightful. Happy early February, San Antonio!
