Afternoon highs reached the low 70s Tuesday, including 73 at San Antonio International. Those 70s leave us for a few days due to another cold front that arrives Wednesday morning.
The front arrives in Boerne and Kerrville before 6 a.m. It should be south of San Antonio no later than 9 to 10 a.m. Temperatures will have already dropped to the 40s in the Hill Country around daybreak. Then, look for temperatures in the 50s, feeling like 40s in the afternoon thanks to a north wind 10 to 20 mph. It's a flip-flop day insofar as highs and lows go. Highs for the calendar day will be during the overnight hours. Lows for February 21 will occur before midnight Wednesday.
Thursday morning will be cold as lows fall to the upper 30s to low 40s.
