San Antonio residents, brace yourselves for a weather roller coaster over the next week, as the forecast predicts a mix of sultry sunny days and possible thunderstorms.
The National Weather Service reports a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms later today, with humidity sitting uncomfortably at 79 percent. Temperatures are expected to soar to a high near 95 degrees, and with the sticky humidity, the heat index could make it feel like a staggering 100 degrees. The extended forecast details a slight reprieve tonight with partly cloudy skies, and a low settling around 76.
Moving into Friday, the chance of showers and thunderstorms drops to 20 percent, but there won't be much relief from the heat. It'll be mostly sunny with a high near 97, and heat index values peeking at about 101. Northeast winds will remain tame, around 5 mph.
The pattern continues with partly cloudy nights and lows in the mid-70s. Saturday and Sunday are predicted to be mostly sunny, with highs brushing the mid-90s. By Monday, however, the chance of showers and thunderstorms climbs to 60 percent, bringing potential relief to the parched city, but also the possibility of disruptive weather.

For those looking further ahead, the weather next week doesn't veer too far from this narrative. Temperatures will hover in the high 80s, with thunderstorms likely and chances of precipitation at around 60 percent. Nightfall brings mostly cloudy skies, with the thermometer dipping into the mid-70s.
