San Antonio, TX – A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for South-Central Texas through Wednesday morning, as temperatures plunge into the 20s each night, with wind chill values dropping into the teens. The advisory covers areas including Austin, San Antonio, Kerrville, and Eagle Pass.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Austin-San Antonio, northeast winds up to 15 mph will exacerbate already freezing conditions, making outdoor exposure hazardous. Residents are urged to take precautions to protect vulnerable populations, pets, plants, and exposed pipes.

The NWS warns of elevated to moderate travel impacts due to a wintry mix expected Monday night into Tuesday morning. Drivers should anticipate icy roads and reduced visibility in affected areas. Additionally, hard freezes could pose risks to unprotected plumbing and vegetation.

Safety tips include properly insulating pipes, limiting outdoor exposure, and ensuring space heaters are used safely to avoid fire risks. Residents should also prepare for potential power outages.

Temperatures are expected to rise slightly by Thursday, but the advisory remains a serious concern through midweek. For real-time updates, visit weather.gov/ewx.
