San Antonio residents can expect a sharp drop in temperatures over the weekend, with forecasts predicting conditions that shift from a sunny disposition to windy sessions that could chill to the bone. According to the National Weather Service, today has been sunny with temps peeking near 59 degrees, with northwest winds originally reaching up to 25 mph slowing down later in the day. Whereas, the KSAT report detailed winds maintaining speeds around 18 to 20 mph throughout the day, with the high forecasted at 58 degrees and tonight's low expected to dip to 32 degrees.
Looking ahead, the weekend weather is set to take an unsettled turn. A clear sky tonight paves the way for a mostly sunny Saturday, as the National Weather Service anticipates a high near 66 degrees. However, the tranquility is short-lived; by Sunday, temperatures nosedive to a high near 39 degrees with the cloud cover increasing, a stark contrast to the relative balm of the preceding days.
As the nation honors Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, the weather seems to reflect a more somber tone, with mostly cloudy skies and a high lingering around 36 degrees. The evening will then bring the mercury down even further, with a forecasted low of 19 degrees heading into Tuesday. The rest of the week doesn't offer much respite, as sunny days give way to cold nights, according to reports.
The fluctuating temperatures and winds are characteristic of San Antonio's winters where residents often endure rapid weather changes. Tuesday again shows the promise of sunshine with highs struggling to hit the upper thirties, before partially cloudy conditions return on Wednesday, bringing a slight warm-up to nearly 48 degrees. By Thursday, the weather will have come full circle, reverting to mostly sunny with a high near 62, much to the delight of those missing the warmth of the earlier week. "Mostly cloudy" then sets the stage for Wednesday night, leading to a lower figure of around 36 degrees.
