A strong, Arctic cold front will blow through San Marcos on Thursday, bringing with it wind chills near or below zero degrees Friday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill watch, which goes into effect Thursday at 6 p.m. and lasts until noon on Friday. A hard freeze watch will go into effect Thursday at noon and stretches until Saturday at noon.
“In the wake of that cold front will be very, very cold Canadian air that will begin filtering into the region quite rapidly,” NWS Meteorologist Andrew Quigley said. “We’ll probably see 20-25-degree temperature drops behind that front relative to what we warm up to Thursday afternoon when it gets here. Combined with that very cold air, we’re going to have very breezy, even windy conditions across the entire area from Thursday night through early Friday morning. That combination of very cold Canadian air combined with the gusty winds is going to lead to downright frigid air temperatures but also wind chills from late Thursday night into Friday morning.”
