Texas starts the day with a sharp chill that feels out of place for late January. Car roofs glisten with frost, and the air bites harder than expected across Central Texas.
Morning temperatures sit near 29 degrees in San Antonio, with wind chills in the mid-20s. According to the National Weather Service, the freeze eases quickly as sunshine takes over. Calm winds allow temperatures to rebound fast, climbing into the upper 50s by afternoon. The change will feel dramatic, especially after a cold start.
Drivers heading out early should watch for slick spots on bridges and shaded roadways, particularly along I-35 and elevated ramps. Once the sun rises higher, road conditions improve quickly.
Tonight turns milder. Lows only slip into the lower 30s, setting the stage for a much warmer Thursday. Highs surge into the mid-60s, with light winds and dry skies. Outdoor plans get a welcome break from winter jackets.
By Friday, another mild day settles in. Afternoon temperatures reach the upper 50s, though a weak front late Friday night knocks lows back toward 30 degrees. No precipitation is expected, but the temperature drop may catch some off guard.
Saturday stays sunny but cooler, with highs near 48 degrees. It feels crisp rather than harsh. Sunday rebounds again, pushing highs into the low 50s, continuing the back-and-forth pattern common this time of year.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Texas, signaling fewer cold mornings as February approaches. Rain chances remain limited into early next week.
For now, dress in layers this morning and plan for big temperature swings through the weekend. Are you ready for a jacket-at-dawn, t-shirt-by-afternoon kind of day? Tell us how the cold felt where you are.
