SAN ANTONIO – A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Bexar County from Monday evening through Tuesday afternoon, with an icy mix and snow expected. The warning comes as a low-pressure system develops near the South Texas coast, bringing cold temperatures and potentially hazardous travel conditions.
- Winter Storm Warning for Bexar County
- Icy mix and snow expected Monday night
- Travel conditions will be slick and hazardous
- Wind chill temperatures in single digits
- Potential for black ice Tuesday night
- Sun may improve road conditions Tuesday afternoon
The National Weather Service has indicated that the winter storm will bring significant weather changes to the region. As clouds move in from the south on Monday, temperatures are expected to remain in the 30s throughout the day. Light patches of ice may develop by evening, particularly affecting bridges and overpasses.
The risk of an icy mix or snow will increase overnight into Tuesday morning. Wind chill factors could drop temperatures into single digits or teens during this period. Forecasts suggest that accumulations may include:
- Up to 0.10 inches of ice
- A dusting to 1 inch of snow
- Localized areas potentially seeing up to 2 inches of snow
By Tuesday afternoon, the storm is predicted to move eastward out of the area, allowing for clearer skies later in the day. However, any wet surfaces could refreeze overnight into Wednesday morning, creating black ice hazards on roads.
This winter storm poses risks for travel due to icy conditions and low visibility. Residents are advised to stay updated on local forecasts and exercise caution when navigating roadways during this time.
