Brace yourselves, San Antonio. The city faces a streak of severe weather with potential thunderstorms today, before the skies clear up to usher in a much-needed stretch of sunshine. The National Weather Service warns of a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 1 p.m. Some could be on the severe side, hammering areas with heavy rainfall amidst foggy conditions earlier in the morning.
With the winds gusting as high as 18 mph, residents can expect a volatile mix of weather until tonight, when the chance of precipitation drops to 30 percent, signaling a pause in the stormy sequence. Despite the clashing elements, the temperature will hit a high near 87 degrees as the southern air flow muscles in, pushing back the cold just enough to make it partly sunny.
Clear skies are on the horizon starting tomorrow, promising San Antonio a sunny reprieve with the mercury peaking at a comfortable 78 degrees. According to KSAT's weather forecast, the wind will shift northwest, bringing gusts that could reach up to a hair-tousling 33 mph. As the city exhales from the storm's grip, nightfall will bring a clear, perhaps even tranquil, atmosphere with lows around 54 degrees.
Thursday will maintain the trend with sunny skies and a high of about 81, while at night the stars will likely shine undisturbed by clouds, with temperatures dipping to the mid-50s. San Antonio's weather pattern seems to be taking a cue from the community's resilience, refusing to stay down for long and climbing back to a mostly sunny Friday, with the temperature easing to a near perfect 82 degrees.
As the weekend rolls in, those clear Texas skies will be dotted with occasional clouds, but that won't deter the warmth as daytime highs hover around the 85-degree mark, escalating to a near 91 by Monday. Keep an eye on that humidity though; it's clutching at a sticky 93 percent today, making the air feel heavier than the numbers might suggest. Whether you're craving sunlight or bracing for the rain's final encore, San Antonio is set for a weather roller coaster this week, so plan accordingly.
