FORECAST

A cold front has swept through San Antonio and South Central Texas. While this will eventually bring our chilliest weather since February, the immediate concern is for wildfire risk due to very gusty winds.

SUNDAY

Wind gusts have been strongest this morning, gusting up to 40-45 mph. Very dry air is moving in. This combo means that any fires that develop could easily spread. A RED FLAG WARNING is in effect until 9 pm for most of South Central Texas, including the San Antonio metro area.

By the afternoon, it’ll still be breezy with gusts up to 30 mph, but not nearly as windy as the morning. Highs will be much cooler than yesterday – near 70°.

Tonight, winds will calm and temperatures will plummet.

MONDAY

While temperatures are expected to be cold but above freezing for San Antonio, a light freeze is possible in the Hill Country.

Under complete sunshine, we’ll only warm to near 60°.

VETERANS DAY (TUESDAY)

Another cold start. But it will be very pleasant, quickly warming, with a high near 70°.

REST OF THE WEEK

We’ll gradually warm each day with highs firmly back in the 80s by Thursday.
