Texas wakes up under clear skies and restless winds, rattling signs and bending tree branches across San Antonio. The air feels mild now, but the breeze signals change, and conditions stay active through the day before settling down.
According to the National Weather Service office serving Austin and San Antonio, north winds increase this morning with gusts reaching 30 to 35 mph. Afternoon temperatures climb near 60 before leveling off, while dry air and steady winds dominate much of South Texas. Visibility remains clear, but driving becomes less comfortable on exposed roadways.
High-profile vehicles along I-10, I-35, and Loop 1604 may feel sudden crosswinds, especially late morning into early afternoon. Loose outdoor items can shift quickly. Pedestrians notice the wind immediately, even under sunshine.
As evening approaches, winds ease gradually and temperatures slide into the 40s. Skies stay mostly cloudy tonight, keeping conditions quiet but cooler. Sunday turns calmer, with highs near the low 60s and lighter winds offering a more comfortable feel outdoors.
Looking ahead, early next week stays mild overall, though nights remain cool. Monday brings highs near the low 60s, followed by a slight rain chance late Monday night into early Tuesday. Rain coverage stays limited, but clouds linger. By midweek, sunshine returns and warmer air builds, with highs pushing into the 70s.
While heavier rain and severe storms impact parts of the Southeast today, San Antonio avoids those hazards. The primary concern locally remains wind-driven travel issues and the steady temperature shifts common in January.
By late January, San Antonio gains roughly 40 extra minutes of daylight, a subtle reminder that winter slowly loosens its grip.
Secure loose items today, allow extra travel time in windy areas, and keep layers handy for cool evenings. Feeling the wind where you are? Tell us what conditions look like in your neighborhood.
