VERY windy and dry tomorrow, then cooler mornings

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS

BRIEF WINDOW FOR A FEW STORMS: Tuesday morning between 6 and 8am
VERY WINDY: Gusts of 40-50 mph with very low relative humidity – ‘Extreme’ fire danger Tuesday afternoon

FORECAST

A classic spring-like storm system is forecast to bring very strong winds to Texas, along with a high fire danger on Tuesday. Here’s a timeline of how it’ll play out:

SHOWERS TONIGHT, ‘BEST’ CHANCE OF RAIN EARLY TUESDAY

Isolated showers and drizzle remain possible tonight, then a few storms are possible between 6am and 8am tomorrow morning. Don’t expect much rain, with less than .10″ likely.

🚨TURNING VERY WINDY, HIGH FIRE DANGER🚨

In the wake of any rainfall, skies will rapidly clear and winds will begin to increase. By midday, San Antonio will likely see westerly winds sustained at 20-25 mph with gusts of 40-50 mph. The wind will subside a bit after sunset. Winds, combined with very low humidity bring an ‘extreme’ fire danger. That’ll be the case for not only our area, but for a large portion of Texas. Blowing dust will also be possible.

COOL WEDNESDAY MORNING

Winds will slowly subside Tuesday night, eventually leading to temperatures in the 40s Wednesday morning. The rest of the week looks sunny and comfortable, until another round of gusty winds arrives this weekend.
