San Antonio residents can anticipate a significant warming trend this weekend, with temperatures expected to approach 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The shift comes as a cold front moves across the region, bringing with it a potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms through late tonight, according to the National Weather Service.
Although the cold front introduces a risk of severe weather, including possible flash flooding from heavy rainfall, it is quickly followed by a substantial increase in temperatures. This warming trend is occurring roughly 15 degrees above average for this time of year, according to reports.
The anticipated warmth follows a record-breaking year for high temperatures in the city. In 2025, San Antonio experienced 251 days with temperatures reaching at least 80 degrees, the highest number recorded in the city’s history. This year’s early rise in temperatures raises questions about the potential for a similar pattern in 2026.
KSAT Weather Authority is closely monitoring the developing weather situation, providing live radar, satellite imagery and severe weather alerts to residents. The focus remains on preparing for potential storms this weekend, with guidance available on how to prepare for severe weather conditions.
Despite the approaching warmth, the Texas wildflower season faces challenges after years of drought. While bluebonnets are expected to peak in mid-April, the dry conditions pose a threat to a full and vibrant bloom.
