San Antonio, TX – Gray skies and muggy air greeted much of South-Central Texas this morning as light rain and fog moved across Bexar County. Drivers heading out early faced slick roads and reduced visibility, especially near I-35 and Loop 410. Showers should ease by midday, but lingering clouds will keep the air heavy and warm, with highs reaching the mid-70s.

According to the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio, a weak front will pass through Tuesday, clearing skies and setting up a sharp shift toward cooler, drier air by midweek. Travelers should prepare for changing road conditions as humidity drops and winds pick up from the north at up to 25 mph.

By Wednesday, sunshine dominates, highs hover near 68°F, and the air turns crisp—an ideal setup for Thanksgiving gatherings and travel. The holiday itself looks bright and seasonable with highs around 69°F and light afternoon breezes. Evening temperatures will dip into the 40s, offering a taste of late-fall cool for those heading home after dinner.

Looking ahead, mild weather continues through Friday before another weak front stirs up a small rain chance this weekend. For now, travelers can expect smooth skies and comfortable driving conditions through most of Thanksgiving week.

5-Day Outlook:

  • Tuesday: Sunny, 83°F.
  • Wednesday: Clear, 68°F.
  • Thanksgiving Day: Sunny, 69°F.
  • Friday: Mostly cloudy, 72°F.
  • Saturday–Sunday: Low rain chance, highs mid-70s.
