THIS WEEKEND: Today is the first day of Spring. It won't feel like it this weekend. Hot temps are on the menu. Tomorrow I'm forecasting 94° which would tie the record. On Sunday, there is a high to extreme fire danger. Take precautions to prevent any wildfires from starting.

DUST: I noticed the West Texas dust in the sky this evening after the front came through.

NEW RECORD: We officially hit a record high of 98° in San Antonio this afternoon. This front caused compressional heating where air sinks, compresses and heats up ahead of a front.

BRACE FOR IMPACT: Cold front now arriving in San Antonio. Expect winds and wind gusts to increase the rest of the evening.

SUNDAY 4PM: In San Antonio, we have officially reached 93°. This breaks the old record of 91° set back in 1908. We still could go higher the next hour or so. Temps in the 40s in the panhandle and mid to upper 90s along parts of the Texas/Mexico border

BE ALERT: As the front get closer to our area, skies will get a little hazy the rest of the afternoon and this evening. The winds are bringing dust from West Texas. San Angelo is reporting blowing dust. This may affect those with breathing issues or allergies.

GET READY: More changes are on the way. Unfornately, it will be dry through all of next week. On Sunday, the record is likely to be broken before a front arrives. This front will be strong, bringing cooler temps and windy conditions. Gusts Sunday night could be up to 50 mph.

TONIGHT: It's been windy today but winds are expected to get stronger this evening. Wind gusts to near 40 mph with isolated locations up to 50 mph. Sustained winds 15-25 mph. This will put wind chills in the upper 30s for Thursday morning. You'll need the jackets in the morning.
