A series of cold fronts is set to sweep through South Texas over the next week, bringing frigid temperatures and a chance of light precipitation. Temperatures will plummet below average, with the potential for widespread freezing conditions by mid-week next week.
A strong cold front swept through South Texas Wednesday evening, ushering in frigid air from the north. This active weather pattern is just the beginning, with a series of cold front s anticipated to cross South Texas over the next week. In between these fronts, spring-like temperatures are expected to make brief appearances. Thursday morning will usher in a bitterly cold start, with temperatures in the mid- to upper 30s between 4 am and 9 am.
San Antonio is expected to hover just above freezing, with a low between 34 and 37 degrees. Parts of the Hill Country, however, will experience a light freeze, with lows ranging from 29 to 32 degrees from Fredericksburg to Kerrville. Strong north winds at 15 to 20 mph, with gusts potentially reaching 30 mph, will further exacerbate the chill, sending wind chill values as low as 25 to 28 degrees in San Antonio and the upper teens across the Hill Country.Temperatures will remain chilly throughout the day Thursday, with mostly cloudy skies and persistent northerly winds. San Antonio will see a gradual rise to the low 40s between 10 and 11 am, eventually topping out in the mid- to upper 40s by late afternoon. This marks a significant drop from the climate-normal for mid-February. There's a slight chance of isolated showers or drizzle in South Texas from morning through early afternoon, but any rainfall will be light and minimal, amounting to only a few hundredths of an inch. Friday will bring more of the same, with mostly cloudy skies keeping temperatures well below average. Morning lows will settle around 40 degrees, and afternoon highs are expected to reach only the upper 40s to low 50s. A few showers and patches of drizzle remain possible throughout the day. Once again, rainfall amounts will be light. Saturday will bring a dramatic shift, with drier air and increased sunshine leading to afternoon highs in the mid- to upper 70s. Areas closer to the Rio Grande could even see temperatures reaching the low 80s. However, this warmth won't last long. Another cold front is expected to sweep through late Saturday or early Sunday, quickly dropping temperatures back into the upper 30s to low 40s Sunday morning. Afternoon highs will only reach the mid-50s, with a light freeze possible as far south as San Antonio by early Sunday. This pattern of cold fronts will continue next week, with weather models predicting another front to move through South Texas late Tuesday or early Wednesday. This front has the potential to bring even colder air, possibly causing widespread freezing by Wednesday or Thursday morning. There's still significant uncertainty surrounding this front, including whether or not it will produce precipitation.
