Friday afternoon: Shower and isolated storms are possible around 1 p.m. and will hang around through the evening. High temperatures could still hit the 70s before cooler air settles in. However, take those jackets to Friday night football as temperatures drop by sunset.
Friday evening: Cooler air and windy conditions will be in store as the front passes with with wind gusts around 25 - 35 mph. By 7:30 p.m. temperatures could already drop to the low 50s and 40s overnight.
Weekend cold snap:
Saturday: Certain Hill Country areas will wake up to temperatures in the 30s and 40s for San Antonio. A fall-like day is in store for San Antonians with sunny skies and high temperatures only in the low 60s. Sport that fall attire!
Sunday: Early morning will bring the coldest air of this season, especially in certain Hill Country spots where temperatures will get close to freezing in the low 30s.

Next week:
Monday San Antonians will have a 30 percent chance of showers and isolated storms as another system moves through warming high temperatures in the mid 60s.
The "warmer" afternoon temperatures will be short-lived as another cold front pushes through by Monday evening. This will allow high temperatures to trend near 20 degrees below average in the mid-50s through Thursday of next week! Brrr...keep those sweaters close by.
Enjoy the cold weather!
