San Antonio residents better hold on to their hats this week as unpredictable weather patterns roll through, starting with today's forecast of mostly cloudy skies and a high hitting up near 86 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service. A south-southeast wind will keep things stirring between 5 and 7 mph, for those who might need a slight breeze to cool down in the midday heat. Evening plans tonight won't need much adjustment with the ever-present cloud cover maintaining a steady low around 72 degrees and wind speeds picking up ever so slightly between 6 and 11 mph.

The National Weather Service has also warned of possible patchy fog early Wednesday morning before it clears up, leading to another mostly cloudy day, just a few degrees warmer at 89—conditions perfect for those who prefer their spring days warm but not blazing. Carrying on into Wednesday night, it seems like the cloudiness intends to bunk with us for a while longer, as the low once again settles around 72 degrees, but don't be surprised if the south southeast wind brings gusts as high as 18 mph to stir things up a bit.

KSAT's weather forecast indicates that San Antonio's skies might give us a slight reprieve this Thursday with partly sunny conditions, but not without the mercury rising up to a high near 92 degrees, so it may be best for locals to keep those short-sleeves handy. While Thursday night's weather remains mostly cloudy the low dips to a cooler 69 degrees, proving once again that Texas weather likes to keep us on our toes.

Looking to end the workweek, Friday shows a promising partly sunny day with a high hovering around 88, which might just be the perfect excuse to start the weekend early, as mentioned by KSAT. Yet Friday night won't stray from the script, repeating the pattern of mostly cloudy conditions with a low around 69; however, the weekend forecast suggests bringing an umbrella might be a good idea as showers and thunderstorms are on the horizon for Saturday—cloudy skies still dominant with temperatures taking a tone down to a high near 83.

And for those planning their Sunday picnics or outdoor jogs, you might want to strategize around the potential for showers and thunderstorms that Saturday night will usher in, no thanks to the fickle temperament of our local atmosphere, sufficiently cooling us down to a low around 61 as per forecasts by the National Weather Service. The ensuing week begins with hopes of mostly sunny skies on Monday when the high is expected to reach a pleasant 78 degrees—perhaps an indication that the atmospheric roller coaster is taking a brief intermission.
