San Antonio, TX – Thick gray mist hangs across the city at daybreak, softening headlights and leaving pavement damp as the first wave of Thanksgiving travel begins. Drivers head out into warm, muggy air that clings to windshields and obscures the skyline. Travelers should allow extra time along I-35 and Loop 410 as visibility improves slowly this morning.

According to the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio office, fog lingers across much of Bexar County through early hours before a gradual clearing trend. Temperatures rise quickly under periods of sun, keeping a humid feel in place. Any drizzle pockets fade through late morning, though patchy slick spots may remain on bridges and shaded areas. Residents planning early holiday departures should watch for rapid condition changes near low-lying stretches and creek crossings.

According to NWS meteorologists, Tuesday brings a slight chance of light drizzle again as clouds increase from the south. Winds shift but remain gentle, creating a steady, almost stagnant feel. The damp air may slow early local travel, though widespread delays are unlikely. Skies remain mostly cloudy through the afternoon with mild November warmth continuing.

By Wednesday, a stronger disturbance pushes into South-Central Texas. A broader shield of clouds builds, and shower chances grow through the afternoon. A few thunderstorms may form east of I-35, especially during peak travel hours. Gusty winds and brief downpours could delay airport departures and create standing water on city roads. To be fair, the system lacks cold air, so any early “Winter Tease” remains unlikely for the region.

Late this weekend, drier air returns with comfortable afternoons that favor outdoor decorating or pre-Thanksgiving gatherings.
