A cold front is expected to push into the San Antonio this weekend — setting up the chance for thunderstorms, high winds,hail and unseasonably cooler temperatures for all of next week.

After nearly a decade, the director of the National Weather Service has stepped down. Getting the public to understand weather is just as important as the science that delivers the forecasts, he says.

The National Weather Service reports an Arctic cold front will push into San Antonio to begin 2022 and bring the first freeze of the season.

The National Weather Service expects the season's real first cold front to push into San Antonio around rush hour or a little later on Wednesday.

After near-record highs, a cold front will come through San Antonio mid-week.

The National Weather Service reports a western storm system pushing toward Texas and a potential hurricane pushing towards the Pacific Coast of Mexico could be major rainmakers for South Texas and the Hill Country this week.

A moderate-to-strong chance of showers begins Tuesday night through Sunday for the San Antonio area. Two separate upper level troughs pushing in from the Western U.S. will combine with gulf moisture to trigger the rainy week ahead.

The global combined land and ocean-surface temperature was 1.67 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average, according to NOAA, the hottest in 142 years of record-keeping.

Forecasters said the thunderstorms will end Saturday night, but a few showers could develop over Val Verde County and move over the Edwards Plateau, west of San Antonio overnight.
