Texas greets this early Saturday with a mild, damp breeze lifting through neighborhoods south of San Antonio, carrying the faint smell of wet pavement after a calm night. Clouds build from the southwest, hinting at a developing disturbance that could affect travel plans throughout the day. Anyone heading back home after the holiday stretch should watch the sky closely because conditions may change fast.
Temperatures climb into the mid-70s by early afternoon, creating a warm, humid setup that often fuels storms in late November. Meteorologists now track an approaching wave that increases rain chances by midday. Models hint at a strengthening zone of lift—an early sign of a Winter Tease pattern arriving next week—making thunderstorms more likely after 3 p.m. Along I-35 and Loop 410, downpours may briefly reduce visibility. Plan extra time if traveling during the late-day push.
By evening, energy from the storm system deepens. The National Weather Service highlights a 50–60% chance of late-day storms, some with gusts pushing toward 25 mph. While severe weather looks limited for now, heavier cells may deliver quick bursts of rain. Light ponding could form on outer-lane pavement, especially where drainage runs slow.
Sunday cools slightly into the mid-50s under mostly cloudy skies. Monday holds scattered showers and highs near 51°. Tuesday and Wednesday trend warmer, stepping into the low-60s with pockets of sun, but national outlooks show below-normal temperatures spreading across the central U.S. from December 2–6. After all, this is when early-winter patterns start taking over, and Texas often feels the tail end of these temperature drops.
