San Antonio, TX – Alright, San Antonio, time to grab those heavy coats and extra blankets! A serious arctic front is on its way, bringing a major temperature drop, biting winds, and maybe even a little winter surprise. This isn’t just a chilly few days—it’s shaping up to be one of the coldest weeks in a long time.
What’s in Store:
Sunday, February 16, 2025: A Tricky Start
We’re starting the day at a crisp 40°F (4°C), and while the sun will be shining, don’t let it fool you. The afternoon high of 60°F (15°C) will feel nice, but by sunset, the cold front starts moving in. By midnight, we’re down to freezing at 32°F (0°C), and you might wake up to frost-covered windshields Monday morning.
Monday, February 17, 2025: Winter Says Hello
Monday morning will be icy, with temperatures hovering near freezing. The afternoon gives us a small break, warming up to 64°F (18°C), but don’t get too comfortable. By nighttime, the chill returns, with lows dropping to 53°F (12°C). And just when you think you’ve adjusted—brace yourself, because the real cold is still on its way.
Tuesday, February 18, 2025: The Deep Freeze Begins
Things start getting serious. Another, even colder front moves in, bringing frigid air. The day might start off okay, but by evening, temperatures plummet to a bone-chilling 26°F (-3°C). Add in gusty winds, and it’ll feel even colder. If there’s any moisture in the air, we could even see a bit of freezing drizzle overnight.
Wednesday, February 19, 2025: Bitter Cold Sets In
One of the coldest mornings in a long time is here. Lows will be in the upper 20s, but wind gusts will make it feel even worse. Even with plenty of sunshine, the afternoon high will struggle to reach 47°F (8°C). By nightfall, we’re back down to 24°F (-5°C), and wind chills could dip into the single digits. If you have to be outside, bundle up—it’s going to be brutal.
Thursday, February 20, 2025: Another Freezing Morning
The deep freeze continues, with morning temperatures stuck in the 20s. The sun will be out, but highs will only reach 43°F (6°C). By evening, we’re back near freezing at 31°F (-1°C). The city stays locked in winter mode.
Friday, February 21, 2025: A Slight Break
We finally catch a small break, but don’t expect a huge warm-up. Morning temperatures will start in the low 40s, with afternoon highs creeping up to 42°F (6°C). The good news? The weekend might finally bring a slow climb out of the deep freeze.
How to Prepare:
✔ Take Care of Your Pets and Plants: Bring sensitive plants inside, and make sure outdoor pets have warm shelter, food, and water.
✔ Prevent Frozen Pipes: Wrap exposed pipes and let faucets drip overnight to keep them from bursting.
✔ Dress Smart: Freezing temps plus wind? That’s a recipe for a deep chill. Layer up, cover exposed skin, and limit time outside.
✔ Stay Updated: The weather can change quickly, so keep an eye on forecasts, especially if icy conditions develop.
This arctic blast is no joke—it’s bringing some of the coldest nights San Antonio has seen in years. Below-freezing temperatures are sticking around, so take precautions now. Stay warm, stay safe, and get ready for a seriously cold week!
