San Antonio residents might have to brace for a wet weekend as forecasts from the National Weather Service predict a 50 percent chance of showers and potentially severe thunderstorms. The city, which could see patchy fog before 9 a.m. today, should expect cloudy skies with highs hovering around 71 degrees. South southeast winds are set to range between 6 and 9 mph, according to the weather bulletin posted on National Weather Service.

Fog is likely to return after 2 a.m. as the chance for precipitation persists into the night, carrying a persisting risk for severe storms. East northeast wind will shift from 6 to 9 mph southwards, with temperatures expected to drop to a low around 59. Tomorrow morning, the fog should disperse before 8 a.m., ushering in mostly cloudy skies before gradual clearing, and with it a high near 70 degrees. The National Weather Service also warns of strong winds possibly gusting as much as 25 mph.

Moreover, in a similar advisory from KSAT, today's scattered showers and storms are pegged at a 60 percent probability, with the mercury set to peak at 70 degrees. As San Antonio steps into the weekend, locals can expect AM rain on Sunday, followed by sunny and windy conditions, and a minor drop in temperature to a high of 69 degrees and a low of 40 degrees. The fresh week looks bright with sunny skies dominating through Tuesday and above-average temperatures for this time of year.

Monday's and Tuesday's outlook sings a sunny tune with zero chance of precipitation, highs in the low-to-mid 60s, and north northwest winds reaching up to 17 mph complete with gusts potentially as high as 26 mph. These clear, crisp conditions are forecasted to persist into Tuesday night, although it may get partly cloudy come Wednesday. KSAT’s forecast anticipates a slight warm-up with temperatures back up in the upper 60s by mid-week, making for a gradually milder climate subsection for San Antonians.
