    Oops, spoke to soon. As we endure this extreme cold warning, let’s romanticize about that spring warmth and sun.

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released its newest seasonal climate outlook — here’s what the next three months may look like in the Alamo City.

    Probability for a warmer, drier spring

    The NOAA forecasts higher chances of warmer temperatures this March, April, and May. During that time frame, researchers also predict lower precipitation than average.

    Drought is still plaguing Central Texas. As of the most recent data, portions of Bexar County are still under Stage 3 water restrictions. NOAA predicts the drought will remain through the end of May.

    As a refresher, here’s what the spring months typically look like in San Antonio:

    March:
    • Average high temperatures: 72º-78°
    • Average rainfall: 1.9 inches
    April:
    • Average high temperatures: 78º-84º
    • Average rainfall: 2 inches
    May:
    • Average high temperatures: 84º-90º
    • Average rainfall: 3.3 inches
