SAN ANTONIO — A cold front may be on its way but Friday morning temperatures hovered right around 12 degrees higher than normal for this time of year, forecasters said.

The lows are usually around 63 degrees but at 7 a.m. the temperature was already at 75, said forecaster Mark Brundrett.

The heat will continue Friday, with highs in the 90s, and the high for Saturday is forecast to be the same, but those cooler temperatures should hit San Antonio during the early evening hours Saturday.

“By 9 p.m. we should be down into the 70s, and then we're forecasting lows Saturday night and Sunday morning to be right around 60,” said Aaron Treadway, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

The temperatures won't break any records but should bring a nice reprieve from the sweltering summer temperatures.

“It should be our first actual cold front of the year,” Treadway said. The cold front brings chances of showers, too — 10 percent Friday night and 30 percent Saturday night.

But the good news doesn't stop there.

“Sunday night into Monday and also Monday night into Tuesday, we're looking at mid-50s,” Treadway added.

During the day Sunday, Treadway said, it will be sunny with a slight breeze and a high of about 80 degrees.

Early October is usually the time of year when San Antonio and South Texas in general gets a cool front, Treadway said.

“As we go into October, we should get more of these, and they should become stronger and more frequent,” he said.

This cold front won't last long, with highs next week expected to creep back up into the 90s by Wednesday or Thursday.
