Gusty Saturday Front to Cool South Texas Before Next Week’s Warm Surge

The CPC projects a warmer‑than‑usual Texas spring with rainfall in San Antonio essentially a coin flip.

A series of cold fronts will move across Texas, bringing a dip in temperatures, along with breezy north winds, but little to no rain.

Overview

  • Forecasters expect a Saturday cold front to bring sustained north winds around 15–20 mph with gusts over 30 mph and very low humidity, creating near‑critical wildfire danger across South Texas.
  • Temperatures will cool noticeably by Sunday, with San Antonio highs in the mid‑60s and predawn lows in the mid‑40s, while some Hill Country spots dip into the mid‑30s and low valleys could briefly freeze.
  • Monday stays seasonable and dry with highs near the upper 60s and chilly morning lows in the lower 40s.
  • Model guidance points to a quick rebound next week, with highs returning to the 70s Tuesday, mid‑80s Wednesday, and potentially the upper 80s to near 90 by Thursday.
  • The warm pattern follows an unusually mild season: San Antonio’s February has averaged a 75.4°F daily high so far, and the CPC’s spring outlook favors above‑average temperatures (47% chance) with roughly 50‑50 odds for spring rainfall.
