A Pacific cold front swept through South Texas Saturday afternoon, bringing a modest drop in temperatures as well as a few scattered thunderstorms into the region. However, the rain didn’t last long, as the front sent drier air into the region by Saturday night.
Now, the lower humidity will allow for a beautiful day in San Antonio on Sunday. Rain is no longer in the forecast, and temperatures will even turn somewhat chilly by late Sunday night. Don’t get used to it though, as yet another shift in the weather pattern is expected this week, bringing unusual mid-February weather into South Texas.
Sunday’s forecast
A cool, but windy morning is expected in the San Antonio metro area on Sunday, as temperatures will sit in the mid- to upper 50s between 5 and 9 a.m. North winds will be sustained at around 15 mph, and some gusts could reach 25 mph at times.
Noticeably drier air is expected throughout the region, resulting in sunshine throughout the day. Temperatures will warm steadily, reaching the mid-60s by 11 a.m. before rising into the low 70s by the early afternoon. San Antonio’s high temperature is expected in the mid-70s, about 6 to 10 degrees above average for mid-February.

High pressure develops
A summer-like high pressure system is expected to develop over the Southern U.S. early in the week. That, along with winds shifting to the south, will cause temperatures to rise to unusually high levels for mid-February…
