San Antonians can enjoy a stretch of clear skies and sunshine today, but they shouldn't get too comfortable—clouds are rolling in, and the rain is on its tail. According to the National Weather Service, the city will bask in a pleasant high near 51 degrees today, with brisk north northeast winds rattling between 14 and 24 mph and gusts punching up to a mighty 41 mph.
When the sun dips, the mercury's falling to a chilly low around 26 tonight—the winds keeping up their dance with speeds notching down slightly between 11 and 14 mph, gusts still kicking up to 22 mph, preparations for what’s to come might be in the minds of residents as they look toward a weekend promising a turn in the weather narrative. As reported by KSAT, tommorow maintains mostly sunny conditions with a high around 45 degrees, yet clouds are set to make a grand entrance, cutting short the streak of clear skies.
By Sunday, showers are likely, mainly post-noon with overcast heavens and a high brushing near 50; the northeast winds blowing with vigor up to 14 mph, and the clouds thickening, to signal the certainty of rain, a 70 percent chance as reported by the National Weather Service. The change continues into Sunday night where showers diversify, thunderstorms possibly rumbling after 3 am, with some bearing the potential for heavy rainfall.
Monday's forecast doesn't give the umbrellas a break, showers and a potential thunderstorm are on the morning menu, then scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, and it doesn’t stop there, the high temperature might climb to 64 degrees but the rain isn’t relenting, with a stalwart 80 percent chance of precipitation holding firm, KSAT's outlook agrees, suggesting a likelihood of showers reaching into Tuesday and Wednesday, indicating a series of mostly cloudy days kissed with rain.
Residents should still keep an eye on Wednesday night where yet another chance of showers could close out the day; though specifics are up in the air, with a low around 51, echoing the uncertainty that seems to make its home in forecasts. San Antonio is on a weather seesaw, with today's clear, crisp scenes soon to be replaced by the unpredictability of nature's watering cycle, the community is advised to stay prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
