“Saturday will be the only day when it’ll be somewhat breezy. Temperatures will warm into the mid 50s, but the winds will be out of the Northwest, between about 15 to 20 miles an hour with occasional gusts to maybe 30 miles an hour,” he said. After that, the area should see stable, dry winter weather for several days.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed Austin and areas along the Interstate 35 corridor under a low risk for severe thunderstorms on Friday.

High temperatures are expected to be near 80 degrees again today, but a strong cold front will swing through South Texas by late Friday.

Friday morning in North Texas is starting out 15 to 25 degrees cooler compared to Thursday, with temperatures in the 40s and low 50s. Expect a mix of sunshine and clouds into this afternoon with isolated storm chances, mainly southeast of the Metroplex.

A recent cold front is pushing overnight temperatures into the 30s across the city. The National Weather Service expects lows Saturday night to fall into the upper 30s, staying just above freezing. Meanwhile, parts of the Texas Hill Country, including Kerrville, an hour northwest of San Antonio, could see temperatures dip into the 20s.

Winter temps are finally back in South Texas, but more up and down weather is expected as we move into the new work week.

Farther south, impacts will be less dramatic. By the time the front reaches Central and Southeast Texas, much of its punch will have weakened. Still, Texans farther south can expect a cooler, breezier weekend, even if winter weather stays well to the north.

After one of the warmest Decembers in San Antonio’s history, here’s what the weather outlook says for the upcoming January.

Splitting storms, damaging winds and large hail are the main weather threats for Southeast Texas this weekend. The National Weather Service in Lake Charles said it is also important to watch for tornadoes in the region.

For weeks, winter weather has evaded North Texas. Temperatures have regularly been 10 to 20 degrees above normal. At least six new daily heat records were set. And each time a cold front has moved in, it hasn’t lasted long before warm conditions returned.
