San Antonio is experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures this week, with highs reaching the low 80s after last week’s cold snap. However, a cool front is set to arrive soon, bringing slightly cooler temperatures and breezy conditions.
Dense Fog Advisory in Effect
Early morning commuters should be aware of dense fog, which has been lingering in and around the city. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for parts of South Texas, including San Antonio, until 10:00 AM CST. Drivers are advised to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra travel time due to reduced visibility.
Once the fog lifts, sunny skies and warm temperatures will dominate the afternoon, with highs reaching 82°F (28°C).
A Cool Front Arrives Soon
While warm conditions continue for now, a weak cold front is expected to move in by Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing:
- Slightly cooler temperatures – Highs will drop to the low 70s, with overnight lows in the 40s.
- Breezier conditions, especially on Thursday.
- A small chance of showers, though most areas will stay dry.
Despite this change, the drop in temperatures will be nothing like last week’s freeze, and the extended forecast suggests mild conditions will continue into early March.
Why the Sudden Warm-Up?
After several days of freezing temperatures earlier in February, San Antonio’s recent warm spell has been caused by a high-pressure system bringing dry, sunny weather and above-average temperatures.
According to meteorologists, this type of weather shift is common for late winter in South Texas, where cold snaps can quickly give way to springlike warmth before the next front moves through.

What to Expect Next
San Antonio’s warm streak will hold on for another day or two, but cooler air will arrive by midweek. The good news? No major storms or drastic temperature drops are expected, meaning pleasant weather is ahead for the weekend.
Enjoy the warmth while it lasts, and be ready for a breezy, cooler shift later this week!
