Residents of San Antonio can expect a mix of mist and light rain to usher in their day, accompanied by some areas of fog that limit visibility. The city woke up to 60°F temperatures amidst a cloudy backdrop and a dense blanket of 94% humidity. National Weather Service forecasts predict a 50% chance of showers and the potential for thunderstorms post-3:00 p.m., although the sun should be making an appearance over the weekend.

The irregular mist that defined this morning is set to clear, with the National Weather Service noting the likelihood of patchy fog before the 8:00 a.m. mark. This brief obscuring haze, however, is scheduled to concede to predominantly cloudy skies, with the mercury expected to climb to a comfortable high near 68. Even with the Northeast winds blowing gently at 5 mph and shifting north in the afternoon, those venturing outside ought to hold onto their umbrellas, as new rainfall between a quarter and a half of an inch could be on the cards.

KSAT's weather report complements this, extending a heads-up about AM drizzle and scattered showers for today. KSAT details put today’s temperature hovering around 65° with a drop to a cooler 45° by evening. However, the outlook peaks with optimism for the weekend, promising clear skies. Residents can anticipate a sunny and windy Saturday with highs flirting with the 67° mark, dovetailing into a Sunday that maintains the sunny disposition with a peak of 68°. The evenings, while cooler, should remain clear and crisp as the city transitions into a serene, starlit mode.

As the weekend progresses, the shift in wind direction to the north is expected to purvey gusts as high as 20 mph—for those with outdoor plans, a windbreaker might just be the call of the day. The beginning of next week doesn't stray far from this pattern, holding fast to sunny predictions and high temperatures in the upper 60s. Monday will see a brisk north-northeast wind, sustaining gusts capable of ruffling more than just a few feathers. It isn't until Thursday that the city might witness a return to the gray, with a 20 percent chance of showers encroaching upon the cloudy serenity. Regardless, San Antonians appear to have ample reason to embrace the upcoming clear and bright conditions projected for their imminent days.
