Cool Nights and Mild Days in South-Central Texas Following Storms
Residents of South-Central Texas can get ready to greet some much drier conditions following the showers and thunderstorms that rolled through earlier today. Yes, those claps of thunder are giving way to a weekend filled with sunshine and comfortable temperatures, perfect for outdoor activities or just lounging in your backyard!
Chilly Nights Ahead
As we approach the weekend, expect those morning temperatures to dip into the 40s, providing a little chill in the air, but have no fear—a freeze is not on the horizon! The cooler nights will give way to days that are quite mild, and that sounds like a win-win for anyone who enjoys a bit of variety in their weather. With clear skies promised, it looks like South-Central Texas is in for a lovely treat.
Weekend Warm-Up
Once we shake off that morning chill, the afternoon sun will start working its magic. Temperatures are forecasted to rise above average, reaching into the 70s as the weekend rolls on. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful weather because almost all of Texas is looking at slim to none rainfall chances for the next 4-6 days.
High Pressure is On the Way
Looking further into the forecast, strong high pressure aloft is set to strengthen over Texas by Sunday and Monday. Get ready for potential record-breaking highs as we move into warmer, sunnier days! As the high pressure builds, afternoon highs are expected to reach into the 70s while those cool evenings keep lows in the comfortable 40s. It’s the kind of weather that makes you want to grab a cold drink and head out to enjoy the great outdoors!
Rainy Memories
Let’s rewind to earlier this week when a slick Pacific cold front swept across Texas, bringing heavy rains particularly to north Texas. Here in South-Central Texas, the storms, while lower in severity, still delivered some welcome rainfall. There was even a Level 1 out of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms just a couple of days ago, particularly for areas like Austin, San Antonio, and New Braunfels. Fortunately, those wild storms seem to have passed, leaving us with clearer skies and milder weather.
What to Expect This Weekend
Now don’t get too cozy just yet! A weak cold front will roll through San Antonio this weekend, causing temperatures to dip a bit. Sunday is shaping up to have afternoon highs in the mid-50s with just a whisper of light rain in the forecast—about a 40%-50% chance of sprinkles and total rainfall likely under a quarter-inch.
Next Week’s Preview
But hang tight because the warmth is set to return by mid-next week! Temperatures should climb into the mid-60s by Tuesday, making it the perfect time for outdoor gatherings. However, a strong low-pressure system is predicted to make its arrival late Wednesday through Friday next week, leading to potential rain once more, with early estimates showing nearly 2 inches of rain on the way for San Antonio.
A Look Ahead
Don’t worry too much, though. While isolated severe storms may occur, a major weather outbreak is not expected. The changing weather patterns are something to keep an eye on, especially as the spring season starts heating up. So whether it’s poolside relaxing or planning your next great outdoor adventure, this weather is giving everyone a reason to be cheerful.
So make the most of these mild days, enjoy the sunny skies, and keep an eye on your weather forecasts for any updates. It looks like South-Central Texas is in for a delightful stretch of weather ahead!
