San Antonio residents should prepare to swiftly dodge raindrops and navigate through hazy mornings this week, as the National Weather Service predicts mixtures of patchy fog and scattered thunderstorms. According to their latest forecast, the day kicks off with patchy fog before 9 am with the rest of Tuesday remaining mostly cloudy and temperatures peaking at a balmy 86 degrees. Southeast winds are expected to blow at a mild 6 to 10 mph. NWS has shared Wednesday will bring a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms post-1 pm with similar conditions through Thursday.

Tonight, locals can anticipate "Increasing clouds, with a low around 72. Southeast wind between 7 and 14 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph" according to NWS. The chance for rain continues halfway into the week—Wednesday night also cites a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, keeping the skies mostly cloudy, with lows steady at 72 and the south-southeast wind kicking up a notch between 10 and 17 mph, gusts potentially reaching 25 mph.

KSAT.com, a local news outlet, corroborates much of this weather narrative but with an added emphasis on visibility and the impact this may have on the morning commute. Fog reigns in the early hours with a nominal 1.5-mile visibility, likely to affect the rush hour flow. Today the humidity hangs heavy at 91 percent, with a dew point of 70 degrees. KSAT confirms today's conditions to remain mostly cloudy, hitting highs around 88 degrees and dipping into lows of 72 by nightfall.

Looking ahead, Scattered Thunderstorms are slated for tomorrow, with a 40 percent chance of lightning and raindrops invading the sky, and temperatures hovering around the mid-80s. This pattern is likely to persist through Thursday, serving up a similar probability of precipitation and temperature consistency.
