With temperatures fluctuating dramatically and rain possibly on the horizon, you may want to keep those red roses and heart-shaped chocolates handy, no matter the conditions!
The Usual Stats for Valentine’s Day
Typically, on February 14, the average high in San Antonio hovers around a pleasant 67 degrees, while the average low dips to about 45 degrees. But those numbers aren’t cast in stone! Historical weather patterns reveal that Valentine’s Day has seen its fair share of cold snaps, warm days, and even the occasional icy surprise. This year, it looks like weather enthusiasts and love birds alike might need to prepare for what can only be described as a *real weather smorgasbord*!
A Week Like No Other
This week, we’re in for a serious *temperature roller coaster*! Starting Wednesday night, a cold front is expected to sweep in, delivering noticeably cooler air that might just send chills down your spine. Looking ahead to Friday, you can anticipate cool and dry conditions, with lows dipping into the 30s and highs barely making it to the 50s. Make sure to bundle up if you have plans for a romantic evening out!
Rain: The Wild Card
As for rain, early Tuesday is set to bring some genuine chances for showers, but expect the gloom to lighten as the day progresses. That said, the rain isn’t completely done with us yet—late Tuesday evening looks like it could get interesting again due to an upper air disturbance. Forecasted temperatures for Tuesday are in the range of the 50s to low 70s, making it a great day for a quick stroll, but keep that umbrella close by!
Expect the Unexpected
This week, scattered thunderstorms could pop up late Tuesday through early Wednesday, and you might even see some small hail during this turbulent weather. The rain totals throughout the week are projected to be somewhere between 0.50 to over 1 inch, with some areas really feeling the pinch of Mother Nature! Keep an eye on your local forecast, especially if you live in western or southern counties where lower rainfall amounts between 0.10 inches to 0.50 inches are expected.
Prepare for Temperature Shifts
Once Wednesday rolls around, the warm temperatures in the 70s and 80s are soon to be challenged by that incoming cold front. Thursday morning could potentially see a light freeze in the Hill Country, so if you’re near those areas, it wouldn’t hurt to check in on your outdoor plants and make sure they’re snug! Some weather models are even hinting at the possibility of a wintry mix of rain and sleet Thursday, adding an intriguing twist to the weather story.
Valentine’s Day Vibes
As for Cupid’s special day, prepare for cool weather in the 50s. The changing conditions might make it tricky for those planning outdoor dates, so don’t forget the cozy layer if you’re heading out for dinner! And just when you think the weather couldn’t get crazier, another significant temperature swing is expected over the weekend, so keep your eyes peeled and your plans flexible!
Whatever your Valentine’s Day plans may be, it looks like you’ll have a little bit of everything—cold, warm, and perhaps wet conditions. So stay tuned to the forecast and prepare for the unexpected because this week, San Antonio, the weather gods are keeping us all on our toes!
