SAN ANTONIO — Winter weather in late October? For most of Texas, yes.
There are four winter weather alerts are currently in effect through Friday. None of them focus on for Bexar County, but temperatures will fall well below normal tonight.

For San Antonio, our average first freeze is scheduled to arrive Nov. 30.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been extended for the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles through 7 p.m. Wednesday. This means that winter weather is expected, and drivers should use caution on the road.
The Texas Panhandle may see freezing drizzle, freezing rain and light snow Wednesday afternoon and into the evening. Snow accumulations from a trace up to an inch are possible. Ice accumulations of a trace to a couple hundredths of an inch are also possible.
The Texas Hill Country and parts of West Texas under a Hard Freeze Warning tonight with sub-freezing temperatures as low as 21 degrees expected.
No winter weather alerts for Bexar County; however, the National Weather Service has extended a Freeze Warning into our northwestern counties, including Kerr, Bandera, Real, Edwards and Kendall. The Freeze Warning is in effect from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m., when temperatures fall below freezing (32 degrees).
Protect sensitive vegetation and remember to bring your outdoor pets in overnight to make sure they have a warm place to shelter from the cold.
Clouds will clear out, dropping the mercury below freezing Wednesday night over the Hill Country and Edwards Plateau.
Wind gusts up to 30 mph are also likely Thursday morning. A breezy north wind will make it feel much cooler with a wind chill in the teens to low-30s across South Texas.
The Eerie weather comes to an end on Halloween! Sunshine returns, but it will stay chilly and breezy.
