Icy conditions in San Antonio as a winter storm warning is issued.
San Antonio is set to face a significant winter storm. A warning has been issued by the National Weather Service as temperatures drop dramatically. From January 20 to 22, several cold weather shelters will be available for those in need. The storm is expected to bring a mix of winter precipitation, including snow, sleet, and freezing rain, leading to hazardous road conditions. Temperatures may plummet to lows around 21 degrees, with safety precautions urged for residents. While the cold snap is serious, a warm-up is anticipated later in the week.
San Antonio, brace yourselves! The weather is about to take a seriously chilly turn as a winter storm warning has been issued for your area and the surrounding regions. The National Weather Service dropped the official word on January 19, 2025, and the cold air is already marching in. Are you ready? You should be!
From January 20 to 22, Bexar County and city officials are doing their part by opening cold weather shelters. This is a great option for anyone who needs a warm place to hang out as the cold creeps in. Shelters will be available, including locations like the Bode Community Center, Corazon SA, and Haven for Hope. Daytime warming facilities will also be open on Sunday and Monday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., inviting everyone to escape the biting cold.
As the sun sets on January 19, get ready for some winter magic! From 6 p.m. Monday to 6 p.m. Tuesday, South Texas will experience a mix of winter precipitation, including snow, sleet, and freezing rain. This means those icy roads could become hazardous, especially on bridges and overpasses. A serious warning is in place for urban areas along the Interstate 35 corridor, which include New Braunfels, San Marcos, Austin, and Round Rock.
Prepare for accumulations of up to 2 inches of snow and sleet expected, particularly around the Austin area. San Antonio may not see quite as much, but totals could still reach an inch. Plus, a glaze of ice—up to a tenth of an inch—could make things extra slippery.
Nobody wants to deal with dangerous driving conditions, so it’s best to hold off on travel from Monday night through Tuesday morning if possible. The same applies if you’re planning to attend the Martin Luther King Jr. March in San Antonio; dress warmly, as temperatures are expected to hover around 30 degrees at the start of the event. The commute could be even chillier for anyone braving those roads!
If you thought it was cold already, wait until Wednesday! The forecast predicts temperatures could plunge to an astonishing low of 21 degrees, marking it as the coldest day of the winter season so far. Even daytime highs from Sunday to Tuesday aren’t expected to climb above 40 degrees, with nighttime lows dropping into the 20s. And don’t forget about the wind chill, which may make it feel even colder—down into the teens!
As the temperatures drop, it’s essential to keep in mind some cold weather safety tips. Make sure to protect people, pets, pipes, and plants from the frigid temps! Ensure your home is ready for the cold snap, and look out for vulnerable neighbors who might need a helping hand.
On a brighter note, it seems like the cold spell won’t last forever! By later in the week, weather forecasters expect a warm-up, with daytime highs returning to the mid-60s or possibly even higher. So, hang tight; relief is on the way!
With all of this upcoming cold weather, now is the perfect time to make sure you’re equipped with hot cocoa, warm blankets, and cozy socks. Stay safe out there, San Antonio, and let’s weather this storm together!
