SAN ANTONIO — Buckle up San Antonians for another rollercoaster ride of temperatures over the next seven days.
In case you're wondering when San Antonio will warm up, it will be very soon, but also short-lived. Temperatures will be so warm in the next 48 hours that you'll want kick the AC back on.
However, another arctic blast returns in time for the weekend and rain arrives by early next week. Talk about wild weather to kick off the year.
Here's what San Antonians can expect this week:
Thursday (High 70 and Low 35): San Antonians should enjoy the outdoors as high temperatures will feel like spring at near 70 degrees. But San Antonians shouldn't get too comfortable as another shot of cold arctic air will push through that evening. Unfortunately, this arctic air will bring more dangerous wind chills for Friday morning.
Friday (High 49 and Low 36): Winds will be breezy and stay gusty at 30 to 35 mph by Friday afternoon. This will allow temperatures to stay in the 40s for the rest of the day. Overnight temperatures will drop into the 20s, so a hard freeze could develop through Saturday morning.
Weekend: Over the weekend, San Antonians can expect morning temperatures of around 25 degrees with northerly winds of around 15 to 20 mph. San Antonians will still need their big jackets as afternoon temperatures for Saturday and Sunday will be stuck in the 40s.
Clouds will move in for Sunday as our next upper-level system bring more moisture and a chance for heavy rain beginning next week.
On Monday, San Antonians will see rain and possible storm activity through Tuesday, but we will continue monitor this system to determine how long arctic air stays in place. Currently, however, temperatures should stay above freezing.
