San Antonio Faces Winter Weather Advisory as Freezing Rain Approaches!
Hey, San Antonio! Grab your hot cocoa and cuddle up because we’re in for some chilly weather this weekend! A winter weather advisory has been issued for our lovely city and the surrounding areas, including Austin and a few Central Texas counties. The advisory kicks off at 6 p.m. on Friday, February 21, and will last until 9 a.m. on Saturday, February 22. So, brace yourself—freezing rain and drizzle are on the way!
Expect Some Icy Conditions
The counties that are going to feel the brunt of this winter blast include Hays, Comal, Bexar, Caldwell, Guadalupe, Wilson, and Gonzales. If you’re planning on heading out, heed this advice: ice accumulations of up to 1/10th of an inch are possible, particularly on those untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses. Yup, sounds like a recipe for some slippery situations!
Drivers, please <-remain alert! As things cool down overnight, those roads are likely to get slick. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so be sure to reduce your speed and check road conditions before you venture out. You can easily find updates online or by giving a quick call to the provided hotline!
Early Risers Beware!
If you’re planning to be out early on Saturday morning, be prepared for hazardous travel conditions. The temperatures are set to drop significantly, plummeting 20 degrees or more in just a few hours once that cold front sweeps in. To top it off, we can expect some gusty winds whipping through at speeds of 30-40 mph from the north, which means it’s going to feel even colder than it already is.

Weather Updates
As drizzle begins to set in Friday afternoon and sticks around into the evening, temperatures in northern Bexar County and parts of the Hill Country are expected to hover around freezing. So make sure to bundle up before you step outside!

Temperatures are forecasted to rise to a pleasant 65 degrees by the end of the day, perfect for shaking off winter’s chill. And just because the weather’s a bit frosty doesn’t mean the fun has to stop!
The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo will be wrapping up its final day on Sunday, featuring performances from popular artists. Plus, keep an eye out for the festive Hello Kitty Cafe Truck, which is set to stop by North Star Mall on Saturday. And don’t forget, the San Antonio Zoo is hosting a special Locals Day, so it’s a great opportunity to enjoy an outing with family and friends!
Stay Safe and Enjoy!
So, there you have it, folks! A weekend of wild weather awaits us, but it’s just a momentary cold snap. Stay safe, keep an eye on those road conditions, and make sure to gear up for the fun ahead as temperatures rise and we all warm up to the thought of spring!
