Front number one is slowly moving through our area and has just drifted to the south of San Antonio as of post time. While there have been a few light showers in our area, storms have only formed on the eastern side of the front, leaving most of us with either zero or a few hundredths of an inch of rain. As the front moves south this afternoon, there is still a chance a couple of scattered storms may form in the coastal plains and along the coast. The second front will move through around midnight for south-central Texas, then closer to daybreak for south Texas. The good news is that these fronts will chase away all of the smoke that has been coming into our area from Mexico…very early to see Mexican smoke from crop burning already!

A windy day tomorrow with gusts over 30mph…combined with temperatures in the 40’s in the morning, it will certainly feel like winter again! Clouds will break in the afternoon, allowing temperatures to drop into the 30’s and 40’s on Sunday morning. Depending on if clouds return during the night, we could see a lot of freezes on Sunday morning, especially in south-central Texas. Clouds will hang around through Tuesday, keeping us cool during that time frame. By Wednesday, the sun re-appears and we should start seeing high temperatures rise back into the upper 60’s and low 70’s.

As of post time, I’m not seeing any arctic air on the way, but our temperatures should stay closer to normal for this time of the year. Unfortunately, I’m also not seeing a decent rain event.
