San Antonio Braces for Showers and Thunderstorms after Week of Warm, Cloudy WeatherSource: Google Street View

San Antonio's weather pattern continues to hold steady with mostly cloudy skies as residents brace for scattered showers and potential thunderstorms later in the week. According to the National Weather Service, Monday's forecast indicates a high near 86 degrees with gusty south southeast winds reaching up to 23 mph, and the evening expected to cool down to a comfortable 68 degrees.

The week is set to gradually warm up with Tuesday's temperature projections circling a high near 88 degrees and a slight uptick in warmth by Wednesday, flirting with the 90-degree mark. Despite the rising temperatures, winds are slated to maintain a subtler presence, drifting between a light 5 and 9 mph. As per the weather forecast by KSAT, Wednesday night will likely mirror the rest of the week, with mostly cloudy skies and lows holding steady around 70 degrees.

Heading towards the weekend, the city can expect to partly break free from the shackles of cloud cover on Friday with a partly sunny sky before the weather takes a turn. Forecasters at both the National Weather Service and KSAT agree on a change in pattern by Saturday, with chances for showers and thunderstorms entering the forecast. Daytime temperatures will dip slightly to a high near 84 degrees under partly sunny conditions.

The culmination of the week's weather saga appears to hinge on Sunday when shower chances will persist, making for a cooler day with highs expected only to reach near 75 degrees. This brings a notable, albeit temporary, reprieve from the preceding days of warmth and heralds a possible shift in the atmospheric rhythm of the region. Both sources underscore the likelihood for nighttime thunderstorms on Saturday, potentially presenting a prelude to Sunday’s anticipated precipitation.
