December Climatology

Western skies will start out mostly sunny, but clouds over eastern counties will gradually expand west as light rain showers become possible over the Coastal Prairies late in the day. By this evening a few showers could spread west to near the I-35 Corridor. Today will be not as cool with highs in the 60s to lower 70s.

Warmer overnight temperatures can be expected across South Central Texas with lows ranging from the lower 40s to near 55 degrees for most areas. Showers and drizzle is expected for any areas along and east of the dashed line. While areas to the west can expect mostly cloudy skies with the exception being Val Verde county where partly cloudy skies should prevail.

Overall, expect cool conditions to continue for the work week along with rain chances returning late Wednesday into Friday. The forecast trends drier and warmer this weekend into early next week.

Chances lean slightly towards above normal precipitation for the Coastal Plains this December, with equal chances of above, near, and below normal precipitation elsewhere in South-Central Texas. Chances lean towards warmer than normal conditions across the region.

Beneficial rainfall may improve drought conditions east of I-35. Better chances for above-normal rainfall for the Coastal Plains could lead to improving drought conditions for the region this December. Extreme drought conditions continue in the San Antonio area. Drought conditions in the San Antonio area expanded slightly in November and are forecast to persist in December.

Typically, most of South-Central Texas records their first freeze by the end of December. As the weather dries, grass fires may become more common, especially during droughts. Cold fronts bring rounds of cool to freezing temperatures. Typical temperatures feature highs cooling from the upper 60s to lower 60s with lows in the 40s. Cloudy days may keep highs below 50 on a few days, and some freezes regionwide with a few hard freezes can occur. Average precipitation is around a half inch along the Rio Grande to 2.5 inches in the Coastal Plains. Icy or snowy weather events are rare in December. For 2025, chances lean towards a warmer than normal December. Chances lean towards a wetter than normal December for the Coastal Plains.
