21 Jan
Summary
- Dangerous cold weather is expected with near 100% confidence.
- Ice accumulation is possible, especially in the Hill Country.
- Prepare to protect people, pets, pipes, and plants from the cold.
Dangerous cold weather is expected to impact San Antonio and surrounding regions this weekend. Forecasters indicate a high level of confidence for hazardous cold, with "feels like" temperatures potentially reaching 11 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday morning.
There is also a growing concern for impactful ice accumulation. The Hill Country and areas north of Interstate 35 have the highest probability, between 50-55%, for at least 0.10 inches of ice. While probabilities are lower farther south, including San Antonio, uncertainties remain regarding exact amounts and timing.
Residents are strongly advised to prepare for these conditions. The National Weather Service emphasizes the need to protect people, pets, pipes, and plants. Monitoring the forecast closely is recommended as changes are still possible.
