The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for a large part of Central and South Texas, including San Antonio. Winter precipitation, including snow, sleet, and freezing rain, is expected from Monday evening through Tuesday afternoon.
As snow begins to cover the Texas Panhandle amid the polar vortex, here's what the state can expect as weather conditions begin to shift.
City libraries, senior centers and parks facilities serve as warming centers during their regular hours, with some locations open extended hours on Monday.
If frozen precipitation enters the forecast at march time, organizers said the event will be moved to the Alamodome. That call will be made Sunday night.
With winter weather expected to arrive early next week, San Antonio school districts are each preparing differently for inclement weather.
Until a potential freeze next week, we can enjoy several days of weather that may be colder than normal, but temperatures will stay above freezing.
Tuesday could also bring a wintry mix of snow showers and freezing rain to San Antonio and the Hill Country, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions. Those attending the city's annual Martin Luther King Jr. March will want to bundle up and stay apprised of any event updates.
The National Weather Service reported another bitter cold arctic cold front will push into the Alamo City on Sunday. Highs this week will gradually warm from the 50s into the 60s by week's end. Forecasters said half the area could see some light rain accumulations on Tuesday night and Wednesday, mostly south of U.S. 90 and west of U.S. 281.
