FORECAST

Good morning! Plenty to talk about in your weekend forecast… here’s the latest:

PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE SATURDAY MORNING

Patchy drizzle continues to develop across parts of South Central Texas early this morning. Areas outside of San Antonio have managed to fall to or just below freezing, meaning that some of this patchy drizzle could form a light glaze on elevated, exposed surfaces (think car windshields, mailboxes, street signs).

While impacts are expected to be limited, this could affect untreated bridges and overpasses. Regardless, roads are damp even in San Antonio, so be extra careful traveling to any Saturday morning plans.

Today will stay cold even into the afternoon (highs near 40 degrees), but most of the area should climb above freezing by 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Patchy drizzle or even some light rain will still be possible along and east of I-35, but will be straight liquid by late-morning and into the afternoon.

WARMER SUNDAY

Sunday starts off chilly, in the upper-30s and low-40s under cloudy skies. That will quickly change into the afternoon as sunshine takes over from west to east, boosting high temperatures into the 60s in San Antonio and 70s already out west. That will be the start of our warming trend…

EVEN WARMER NEXT WEEK

Highs reach for the 70s Monday afternoon with total sunshine. We’ll continue to climb into the upper-70s by Tuesday, and even approach 80 degrees by midweek.

A weak cool front may try to push through the area by Thursday, but won’t pack nearly as much of a punch as this past round of fronts. In addition, we’ll look to stay dry after today with no major rain chances to talk about over the next seven days.

We’ll keep you posted. Until then, have a great weekend!
