San Antonio residents are gearing up for a blend of fog, clouds, and the occasional promise of rain as they head into the closing days of April. According to the National Weather Service, the city woke up to patchy fog this morning that's set to clear by 10am, giving way to partly sunny skies with a high near 85 degrees. The southeast wind is bringing more than just warmth, gusting up to 18 mph throughout the day. As night falls, locals can expect increasing clouds with a low around 71, and those gusts getting stronger, potentially reaching 24 mph. The National Weather Service reports the pattern of mostly cloudy skies is due to persist into Thursday, with highs clinging around the mid-80s and breezes ramping up slightly more.
The latter half of the week brings additional cloud coverage and the chance of precipitation. KSAT's weather forecast suggests morning drizzle to dampen the city before it becomes mostly cloudy on Thursday. Friday's offering is similar, with isolated storms possibly joining the drizzle, bringing with it a 30 percent chance of rain before the afternoon. It seems the residents will need to keep their umbrellas at hand, with afternoon temperatures to consistently hover around the mid-80s despite the wet start to the days.
The weekend outlook strays little from this story. Saturday's forecast is partly sunny and breezy with a high near 89, but the breeze isn't planning to let up as the night approaches, with mostly cloudy conditions persisting and lows remaining in the low 70s. The promise of showers and thunderstorms comes back into play on Sunday, though specifics are as yet uncertain. The pattern of cloudy evening skies and lows around 71 is a consistent thread.
Looking ahead to next week, Monday holds a chance of showers and thunderstorms yet again, with the silver lining being a mostly sunny day and highs to possibly push into the upper 80s. The night should see a drop to a partly cloudy sky and a low near 70, setting a somewhat clearer stage for Tuesday. The forecast then flips back to partly sunny with highs in the upper 80s, signaling that regardless of the rain, warmth is a persistent fixture in San Antonio's immediate climate narrative.
