SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Low clouds hang thick over the city this morning, a humid haze softening the skyline before the sun begins to break through. Though much of South Texas wakes to calm conditions, a weak front brewing in the Gulf will bring scattered showers Monday before skies clear beautifully for the Thanksgiving rush.
According to the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio, rain chances increase Monday morning, mainly east of I-35 and near the Hill Country, with a few embedded thunderstorms possible. Rainfall should stay light — generally under a quarter inch — but brief downpours could cause slick spots on early commutes and for travelers heading north toward Austin or Waco. Winds will pick up slightly from the east at 10 to 15 mph before calming again Monday night as drier air moves in.
By Tuesday, the pattern shifts sharply toward sunshine. Highs will climb into the lower 80s Tuesday afternoon, making for near-perfect travel conditions on the region’s busiest roads and airports. Thanksgiving Day is expected to be mild and sunny, with morning lows in the upper 40s and highs near 70 — ideal for outdoor gatherings or early holiday shopping.
Nationally, forecasters are tracking a major cold front sweeping from the Plains to the East Coast by Thanksgiving, potentially bringing snow to northern states. But across Texas, travelers can expect smooth skies, crisp mornings, and dry air — a welcome break in a busy holiday week.
