San Antonio residents are facing a barrage of inconsistent weather this week, with conditions swinging from storms to sunny skies. Today, the forecast promises showers and thunderstorms likely after 4pm, according to the National Weather Service, with a high temperature hovering near 77 degrees and winds from the east northeast at 7 to 10 mph. The chance of precipitation stands at a solid 70%, NWS reports.

Tonight's outlook doesn't let up much, expecting showers and thunderstorms primarily before 10pm, with the temperature dropping to around 55 degrees. Potential wind gusts might reach as high as 26 mph. San Antonians, should brace for a 90% chance, of rain, making for a wet end to the day. Sunday dials back the drama slightly, surfacing partly sunny skies with the mercury rising up to around 68 degrees, and the winds holding strong from the north northeast at 16 to 18 mph, complete with more gusts that could peak at 29 mph.

Heading into the week, the weather seems to agree more with outdoor plans. Monday will meet locals with partly sunny conditions and a high near 73 degrees, and lighter northeast winds shifting southeast. By Tuesday, the area is slated to bask in mostly sunny weather, pushing the high up to a pleasant 79 degrees, per KSAT's weather forecast.

The rest of the week plays out in a mostly cloudy pattern, Wednesday through Friday, which could flirt with the upper 80s, suggesting that summer is inches away from taking the stage. Nighttime temperatures will rest comfortably in the low 70s to high 60s, so those evening strolls or backyard barbecues are definitely not off the table just yet. Amidst this patchwork of meteorological moods, it’s clear that San Antonio's weather is as unpredictable as ever, offering a bit of something for everyone.
