San Antonio residents can expect a gamut of weather conditions this week, with a sunny outlook transitioning into possible thunderstorm threats by the weekend, data from the National Weather Service and KSAT's weather forecast indicate. The National Weather Service reports today's sunny conditions with a high near 47 degrees will give way to a clear night with temperatures dropping to around 33 degrees.
Thursday's sunshine continues and with a significant temperature rise, to near 70 degrees, but beachgoers beware, winds are picking up too - shifting from calm south winds to a brisker west southwest variation. According to KSAT's forecast, the clear skies will last through Friday, despite the appearance of windy and cooler weather that will see daytime highs around 49 degrees, and nighttime temperatures possibly plummeting to 26 degrees.
The weekend brings clouds and an escalating chance of showers starting Saturday night, peaking with a possibility of thunderstorms heading into Monday and Tuesday. As per the National Weather Service's prediction, San Antonians might need to keep their umbrellas close by with shower chances lingering throughout the start of the next workweek, as Monday and Tuesday could bring thunderstorm activity and highs pushing into the 60s.
San Antonio's varied weather pattern is typical for this time of year, with the city often experiencing swings from clear, crisp days to stormy, wet periods in a matter of days; today's quiet and unassuming breeze is but a prelude to the gusty winds anticipated later this week, anticipating a crescendo that culminates with nature's own orchestra of potential thunderstorms early next week. Despite the unpredictable weather, city dwellers and visitors alike should stay informed and prepared for the range of conditions that South Texas skies are known to serve up.
