Texas — Cool air settles low over rooftops, and breath fogs briefly in the early morning calm. It feels like winter for now across South-Central Texas, but the pattern is already shifting.
Temperatures start in the mid-30s around San Antonio, with calm winds keeping conditions quiet. No precipitation is expected, and skies remain partly cloudy through the morning. For early commuters, bridges and overpasses should remain dry, though the chill may catch some off guard.
By afternoon, a noticeable warm-up arrives. Sunshine increases, and temperatures climb quickly into the upper 60s. Jackets come off fast once the sun gains strength. Travel impacts stay minimal, and road conditions remain dry across I-10, I-35, and Loop 410.
Tonight turns cooler again, but not harsh. Lows dip near 40 degrees as light winds return. Friday continues the warming trend, with highs near 59 under partly sunny skies. Northerly winds pick up briefly, adding a mild bite during the morning hours.
Friday night clears out and cools to the lower 30s. While widespread freezing issues are not expected, sensitive plants in outlying areas may need light protection. Conditions remain dry and calm.
Saturday brings classic winter sunshine with highs near 48. It feels crisp in the shade but comfortable in the sun. By Saturday night, temperatures fall into the mid-20s, marking the coldest period of the next several days. Plan ahead for pets, pipes, and outdoor plans.
Sunday flips the script. Sunshine dominates, and highs rebound into the mid-50s by afternoon. Any lingering cold fades quickly, and outdoor conditions improve significantly.
Looking ahead to early next week, warmth builds further. Highs reach near 60 Monday and surge toward 70 by Tuesday, with rain chances holding off until midweek. This dramatic swing reflects a broader pattern, as Arctic air retreats north while warmer Gulf air pushes inland.
