San Antonio residents should brace for a bout of showers and possible thunderstorms over the next few days, with weather forecasts indicating fluctuating chances of precipitation. According to the National Weather Service, today the city is expected to face a mix of sun and clouds, with the mercury climbing to a high of 87 degrees Fahrenheit and a 40% chance of rain post-10 am, but the wind will be a mild east northeast at around 5 mph, and although there's a likelihood of showers and thunderstorms this evening, the chance of rain drops to 20% with a low settling around 74 degrees.
Transitioning into the weekend, the weather pattern holds steady with Friday's forecast promising a 50% probability of rain, and while the wind is to remain tame transitioning to a gentle southeast breeze in the afternoon, Saturday ups the ante with a consistent 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms almost mirroring Friday's predictions, it won't break the pattern of mostly cloudy skies capped with a high near 88 degrees and a south southeast air current making its presence felt come the evening.
Sunday ushers in a more assertive call for moisture — there's a 60% chance that San Antonio will get wet, potentially seeing some thunderstorm activity amidst another day of substantial cloud coverage; the forecasted high is once again near 88, with southsoutheast winds chugging along at 5 to 10 mph, sometimes escalating with gusts reaching up to 20 mph. As the week commences, the skies gradually clear, accommodating a stark rise in temperatures that peak on Wednesday, where the city could see highs flirting with the high nineties under a nearly unblemished sunny sky.
The pattern suggests intermittent periods of rainfall which could disrupt outdoor activities, although Monday seems to offer a reprieve from the rain and a gateway to what promises to be a scorching week ahead with the return of the scalding Texas heat by mid-week.
