San Antonio, TX – A calm, crisp start greeted residents early this morning as temperatures dipped into the upper 40s, setting the tone for a steady run of mild December weather across the region. Skies remain clear, winds stay gentle, and sunshine drives a daily warm-up that will last through Thursday, giving Central Texas a taste of spring in the first full week of December.
Early Week Weather Pattern
Cool mornings linger across Bexar County, but afternoons warm quickly under strong high pressure. The National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio explains that Monday features light north winds shifting east, allowing highs near 64°F under bright sunshine. Morning layers will be necessary, yet most residents will be back in short sleeves by midday.
Midweek Warming Trend
A stronger warm-up takes hold Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure settles more firmly over Central Texas. Forecasters note that:
- Tuesday’s highs reach near 67°F
- Wednesday brings temperatures around 78°F, unusually warm for early December
