San Antonio residents can expect a mix of cloudy skies and sunshine with some wintry gusts to contend against as we push through the second week of February. According to the National Weather Service, today started mostly cloudy but will see gradual clearing with a high near 70 degrees and northwest winds blowing between 7 and 16 mph. These winds are no timid breeze, they could reach up to 24 mph in gusts.
The chill, however, will set in tonight as clouds increase once again and temperatures dip to a low around 42 – the north northwest wind, still persistent, pushing between 13 and 21 mph with even higher gusts possibly hitting 31 mph. As for tomorrow, the National Weather Service forecasts a sunny disposition with highs caressing the mid-60s, but even then, the winds won't rest, clocking in between 8, and 16 mph, with similar gusts as today's.
Comparative data from KSAT.com shows San Antonio enveloped in fog early this morning, with visibility down to 1.5 miles and a humidity that clung at 92%. Those early risers felt the bite of 65 degrees, a number that might seem mild but felt cooler with the dew point at 62 and the wind nudging from the north-northwest. Yet relief is on the way, as the fog was set to lift, giving way to sunshine and firm winds later in the day.
Looking ahead, the week will be a pageant of clear skies and balmy temperatures. Tuesday promises sunshine with a high near 67, and by Wednesday, it'll be mostly cloudy again with the mercury hovering around 68. Moving to the night hours, Thursday threatens a shift in the weather rhythm, with the clouds pregnant with showers and a low of about 57 degrees. As you march toward the weekend, remember to have your umbrella at the ready – showers continue on Friday, with a chance that they extend into your Saturday plans.
