Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.

That was a quick winter. After a couple of freezes, we are starting to feel that spring warmth and daily dose of sunshine.

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 is 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

An early look at summer

Although it is subject to change, the NOAA also released predictions for the summer months. Researchers forecast above average temperatures through August, with higher temps in the forecast. A scorcher.
