Texas wakes up to soft clouds and mild air, a clear sign winter is already loosening its grip. In San Antonio, the morning feels calm rather than cold, with temperatures sitting in the mid-60s and light northeast winds drifting across the city.
This is the first official week of winter, yet conditions feel anything but seasonal. By late morning Monday, clouds thin and sunshine takes over. Afternoon highs climb into the mid-70s, making for easy driving along I-35 and Loop 410. No rain, ice, or wind hazards appear for commuters or travelers.
Tonight stays comfortably mild. Lows only fall into the upper 60s as southerly flow begins to strengthen. That warmer pattern builds quickly on Tuesday. Skies brighten again, and afternoon temperatures reach near 80 degrees. It’s an early signal that December warmth is peaking at just the right time for holiday plans.
Wednesday brings the Christmas Eve tease. Highs approach 80 degrees once more, with partly sunny skies and gentle winds. Roads remain dry across South Texas, supporting smooth Christmas travel throughout the region. Winter weather threats like frost, freeze, or snow remain completely absent.
Christmas Day continues the theme. Mostly cloudy skies keep things comfortable, with highs near 80 again. Outdoor gatherings feel pleasant, though it may not feel like December at all.
Still, warm winter stretches can bring subtle issues. Morning cloud cover may reduce visibility at times, especially in low-lying areas. Drivers should stay alert early, even as conditions improve fast by midday.
For now, meteorologists note no immediate cold snap ahead. Winter is on pause, at least through Christmas.
