Texas wakes up to damp air and low clouds today as a slow-moving system builds over the southern counties. Light haze and wet pavement already signal a change, and residents should expect shifting weather through Saturday as Thanksgiving travel accelerates across the region.
According to the National Weather Service, steady showers will redevelop Saturday across Bexar County and the broader South-Central Texas corridor. Roads may see brief ponding, and early travelers should watch for quick drops in visibility, especially during the late-morning push toward I-35 and Loop 1604. Conditions stay manageable for now, but the pattern grows more active as the weekend arrives.
Rain chances hold at 50 to 60 percent Saturday as a moist Gulf flow pushes inland. South winds add mild warmth, though a cooler trend begins late Saturday night. Temperatures fall through the upper 60s by Sunday morning, giving the air a crisp edge that hints at the broader November cooldown expected next week. Models continue to show a national pattern shift that could bring heavy snow to parts of the northern U.S. between November 25 and early December. To be fair, San Antonio remains far from any snow chance, yet the broader setup helps funnel cooler air southward into Texas during Thanksgiving week.
For now, residents planning early holiday drives should expect wet patches Saturday, steadier breezes Sunday, and a mix of clouds and sun into early next week. The weekend isn’t a washout, but brief delays are possible for those heading toward Austin, Houston, and the Hill Country.
