After a historically cold January in South Texas , Mother Nature has flipped the script so far this February. Through the first four days of the month, San Antonio’s average high temperature has been 81 degrees, which resulted in the city’s second-warmest start to February.
If you’ve been enjoying this change of pace, you’re in luck. Near-record high temperatures are going to continue as we push into the second half of the week. San Antonio could even get close to 90 degrees by Saturday.
But it’s still February, after all. Weather models are showing with increasing confidence that a cold front will move through the region by Sunday and sink daily temperatures to levels closer to the climate-normal. Here’s what you should know.
