Morning Forecast – Thursday, Oct. 10th
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chase Ward reports calm weather across the area with dry air resulting in cooler temperatures, ranging from the upper 40s to mid-50s. A disturbance in Oklahoma may bring clouds to southwestern Arkansas but no rain is expected. Hurricane Milton made landfall as a category 3 storm, weakening to a category 1, currently affecting Florida with significant rainfall and power outages. Meanwhile, the region is experiencing a lack of rainfall, leading to drought conditions in parts of South Arkansas and Northern Louisiana, triggering burn bans. Warm temperatures are expected, reaching the mid-80s, before a dry front brings cooler weather next week.
Dry air continues to keep skies clear, which has allowed temperatures to drop to the mid 50’s. High pressure will keep us clear and quiet as we close the week. Highs will warm above average to the upper 80’s over the weekend as winds shift southerly. This will increase dewpoints to help mitigate the current fire threat across south Arkansas. Next week, a dry front will arrive on Columbus Day dropping temperatures to near average. We may also get even cooler late next week with continued dry conditions.

Beautiful afternoon underway, plus a look at the new drought monitor ~ Mia
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Mia Montgomery reports a cool Thursday in San Antonio, with morning temperatures in the upper 30s and a light freeze in the Hill Country, marking the coldest morning since February. Sunny, dry conditions helped afternoon highs reach the low 70s. Temperatures will dip into the upper 50s by 8 p.m. and low to mid-50s by late evening. The coming days will remain chilly, with highs rebounding into the mid to upper 70s. A potential cold front may impact the area around Thanksgiving, but no rain is expected, and severe drought conditions persist.
After the coldest morning since February, low humidity, sunshine, and calm winds will help temperatures warm into the pleasant low 70s this afternoon. A gradual warming trend takes shape over the next several days as we monitor another front sometime around Thanksgiving. Here’s an update with Mia.
