Hard freeze topples daily records for both Tuesday and Wednesday and ties for fourth-coldest record for the entire month of November._________________
14 Nov 2018 – The mercury in San Antonio, Texas, plunged to 23F (-5C) at the airport this morning, tying for the fourth-coldest November low temp on record.
The fourth coldest for the entire month mind you, not just for the date. The only colder temperatures were recorded in 1976 and 1886, and both were later in the month.
The cold weather also broke daily records on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
“This shatters the old record low of 28 degrees set back in 1916,” the National Weather Service tweeted of Wednesday’s weather. Tuesday night just before midnight, the city hit 28 degrees, breaking the previous record of 29 set in 1907, records show.
Typically, the average high for the month of November is about 71 degrees and the normal low is 51 degrees.
Temperatures are forecast to sink again to 33F by Thursday morning, meteorologists said.
