Overview

  • The front is projected to arrive late Saturday into early Sunday, with San Antonio likely seeing a pre-dawn passage though the exact timing remains uncertain.
  • Highs near record levels Friday and Saturday in the upper 80s to around 90 transition to 50s and 60s Sunday, with the coldest air arriving Monday morning.
  • Much of North Texas is expected to fall into the 30s early Monday, with parts of the Dallas–Fort Worth area near freezing that could end the growing season in spots.
  • Hill Country and coastal plains locations could see mid-30s lows Monday and Tuesday mornings, with freezing conditions not likely but plant and pet protection advised.
  • The front is expected to be dry with north winds sustained 15–25 mph and gusts near 40 mph, lowering humidity and elevating wildfire danger as moisture shifts east with some snow potential there.
