Just forecastin’ in my hometown ☀️ | @ksatnews Meteorologist | AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist #924 | Momma to Norah 😻
San Antonio, TX
Joined July 2018
Y’all…Northern lights visible from Spring Branch (just north of San Antonio, TX)! . This is because of the strongest solar storm in 20 years. Best viewing is away from city lights, and it’s easier to see through your phone than with the naked eye!. #KSATweather

Incredible picture of last night's lightning on KSAT Connect from user Taylor Mcclelland. Notice the branching ground-to-cloud strike in the right side of the picture. CPS still reporting 28k without power -- improved from 48k earlier. Got pics? Post here:

HOTTEST HEAT INDEX EVER ON RECORD FOR SA🥵. The heat index climbed to 117° today. This beats the old record of 116° set in June just last year in late June. That means we’ve seen the hottest heat index recorded in San Antonio for TWO YEARS IN A ROW — wow! .

IMPORTANT:. DO NOT warm up in your car with the garage, especially with the door down. DO NOT operate a generator indoors. This may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning which is deadly!!.

Nope. that's not rain on the radar. those are BATS! 🦇. Around this time of year, millions of Mexican free-tailed bats head out for their nightly meal of yummy insects. Notice how they fan out from a single point. Bracken Cave. Soooo cool!

The first “real” cool front of the season is expected to make it to San Antonio between Wednesday and Thursday (10/4-10/5). While this won’t be sweater weather, you’ll definitely be able to feel the difference with highs only in the mid-80s and rain chances will be higher.

HEADS UP: 🧊🚘 Lots of cars out there today (2/15), creating a slush on the roads. All that slush is going to refreeze overnight and make travel tomorrow (2/16) even more dangerous than today. STAY OFF the roads tomorrow, if at all possible. @ksat_traffic will have updates.

Hi @TxDOTSanAntonio! I’m a meteorologist in San Antonio and see your signs on Transguide: “Storm forming in gulf” “fill up your tanks”. While I appreciate wanting to keep people prepared, this system will NOT directly impact San Antonio. In fact, we’ll stay dry and hot.
