A wind advisory is in effect Thursday after a cold front that reached San Antonio overnight brought some rain and cold, northerly winds that are expected to intensify as the day progresses.
The advisory, issued by the National Weather Service, is active until about midnight tonight, with winds expected to reach 25 to 35 mph with gusts near 45 mph.
Lightweight objects such as trash cans, patio furniture and lawn decorations could be blown around, and taller vehicles such as big rigs may be difficult to control, the advisory states.
Late Thursday into Friday morning, potentially record-breaking cold temperatures in the mid-30s to lower 40s across South Central Texas could impact tender vegetation and harm small pets. Freezing temperatures are not expected.
Breezy conditions and drier air will generate near critical fire weather conditions on Friday. Minimum relative humidities from 15 percent to 25 percent are possible.
The weekend should bring mild and pleasant weather with highs in the upper 70s.
By Tuesday, the cool weather will have dissipated and seasonably warm temperatures should return.
