FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS

• HOT & HUMID CHRISTMAS EVE: Temperatures will approach 80° this afternoon

• STORMS TONIGHT: A line of storms, mainly for those along and east of I-35, between 20.00 and 02.00

• QUIET CHRISTMAS DAY: Any rain will clear the area before sunrise, temperatures near 70°

CHRISTMAS EVE (DAYTIME)

Good morning! Clouds have rolled in as moisture builds a storm system ahead. After a cloudy start, we should see some sun this afternoon. Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 70s. Rain will generally stay out of the forecast until late this evening and into the night.

TONIGHT

A weak front will be enough to kick up a broken line of storms this evening and into the night. The threat of storms will be along and east of I-35 between 20.00 and 02.00. San Antonio will sit on the western edge of this threat, but will need to be on the lookout for storm activity. Gusts will be the main problem, while hail cannot be ruled out with the stronger storms. These storms will push towards the coast after midnight and away from the area.

CHRISTMAS DAY

It will be slightly cooler and less humid behind the weak front on Christmas Day. Cloud cover can also remain for a while, which keeps the temperature down a bit. Expect a high near 70°, with dry conditions.

NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN

A brief window for showers or possible storm returns Thursday. However, the odds of seeing rain on Thursday have decreased somewhat. The best chance of seeing rain would be early in the day, with clearing in the afternoon.

HOT THROUGH NEW YEAR’S EVE

The forecast continues to trend above average in terms of temperatures until the end of the year. After Thursday, rain remains out of the forecast.

Have a great day and a merry Christmas!
