SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The air across South-Central Texas feels more like late summer this morning than early November — warm, still, and faintly humid under a silver dawn. But that calm won’t last long. A sharp cold front will sweep south this weekend, dropping temperatures nearly 30 degrees and ushering in a crisp, dry air mass just in time for Veterans Day events.
According to the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio, patchy fog may slow early travel near I-35 before sunshine dominates by late morning. Highs will soar near 90 again today before a north wind cuts through the warmth Saturday night. By Sunday, gusts up to 35 mph will make it feel almost brisk — a reminder that fall still holds some chill before Thanksgiving travel season begins.
Sunday’s high near 71 will quickly tumble into the 40s after sunset, with a few Hill Country valleys dipping near the upper 30s by Monday morning. It won’t freeze, but the swing marks one of the sharpest temperature drops of the season. Early risers Monday will step into clear, dry air and bright skies — ideal for parades and outdoor ceremonies, though jackets will be needed for the first time in weeks.
Residents planning early yard work or holiday decorating should finish before Saturday evening, when winds strengthen. The rest of the week trends pleasant and mild, offering a few more golden days before stronger November cold fronts start arriving from the Plains.
