Texas greets Monday with whipping winds and fast-moving clouds as a cold front presses through South Central communities. Roadside flags strain, tree branches sway, and loose debris skitters across pavement before sunrise.
A Wind Advisory remains in effect across the San Antonio area through noon Monday. North winds increase to 20–30 mph, with gusts reaching 45 mph, especially in exposed areas. Temperatures sit near 55 degrees early, but cooler air continues filtering in behind the front.
The strongest gusts hit during the morning commute. Drivers on I-35, I-10, and Loop 410 should expect sudden crosswinds, especially near overpasses and open stretches. High-profile vehicles may feel unstable. Secure holiday decorations and outdoor items now.
By late morning, winds gradually ease, though breezy conditions linger into early afternoon. Skies stay mostly cloudy, keeping temperatures in the low 50s. While winter weather remains mild here, the abrupt wind shift signals the broader Arctic surge gripping much of the country.
Tonight turns calmer. Winds drop back, and lows settle near 43 degrees, cool but manageable for late-night travel. Conditions steadily improve Tuesday with sunshine and lighter winds.
Looking ahead, the final days of 2025 trend warmer. Tuesday reaches the upper 50s, while Wednesday climbs into the mid 60s. New Year’s Eve appears quiet for evening plans. New Year’s Day 2026 looks ideal for travel and outdoor gatherings, with sunshine and highs near 73 degrees.
Even without snow or ice, gusty winds can cause accidents and power issues. Stay alert today as winter’s influence brushes South Texas in a subtler way.
