San Antonio residents can expect to see a mix of sun and clouds along with a decent chance of showers and thunderstorms over the coming week, according to forecasts. The National Weather Service predicts "a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 4pm" today, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 95 degrees. There's also a mention of heat index values that could rise as high as 101, meaning the humidity might make it feel even hotter than the thermometer reads.
Tonight, there remains a chance for rain, although it drops slightly to 30 percent, mainly before 7pm. The skies are to be partly cloudy with a low around 78 degrees. This weather pattern seems to be set to continue into the early part of next week, with Labor Day expected to bring a 70 percent chance of precipitation. The forecasts suggest that residents should keep their umbrellas handy, as the "chance of showers and thunderstorms" are to persistently pop up throughout the week.
The National Weather Service's extended forecast for the city indicates that the Northeast wind will be steady, ranging from 5 to 10 mph and, at times, gusting as high as 20 mph through the period. As we move into Tuesday and Wednesday, the pattern seems to stubbornly cling, with each day bringing a 60 to 40 percent chance of storms, respectively, and highs hovering in the high 80s to low 90s.
Late-night revelers and early morning commuters might take some comfort, however, as nighttime chances for showers tend to decrease. For instance, Wednesday night only carries a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms before 1am. But don't be fooled into leaving the rain gear at home—Thursday through to Friday sees daytime storm chances climbing right back up to 30 and 20 percent, with "mostly sunny" conditions lined up for Friday, which could provide some brief respite from the week's earlier weather patterns.
