Texas – Low clouds cling to the skyline before dawn, and a damp, gray deck spreads across Bexar County as a warm breeze lifts drizzle through the city. Pavement already feels slick, and early drivers may face reduced visibility on I-35 and Loop 410 as scattered showers build through the morning. Residents preparing for Thanksgiving travel should stay alert for changing road conditions and possible delays as rain increases through midweek.
According to the National Weather Service Austin–San Antonio office, a shallow but persistent moisture plume moves north from the Gulf, feeding spotty drizzle through the early hours and then light showers later in the day. Forecasters note that the humid, warm air keeps temperatures elevated, but an approaching disturbance strengthens the rain chances Wednesday and Thursday. While the system lacks the bite of a classic early-winter front, it still introduces breezier pockets and heavier bursts of rain that could slow departures from San Antonio International Airport.
According to meteorologists, Thursday brings the wettest stretch as stronger lift pushes showers across the Hill Country into the I-35 corridor. Rain-cooled air may briefly dip into the upper 60s, creating a noticeable shift from the balmy start of the week. To be fair, no winter risk appears yet for South Texas; however, the broader national pattern shows early winter signatures across the northern tier, reinforcing the need for travelers headed north to monitor conditions closely. For now, the local concern is steady rain and slower travel times as Thanksgiving plans begin.
Families heading out should pack patience and keep rain gear handy. Wet roads demand slower speeds, and brief downpours may cut visibility at times. Despite the mild air, holiday travel tends to stack up quickly as the weekend approaches.
