San Antonians woke up to a misty morning with temperatures hovering around the upper 60s, along with a sticky 90 percent humidity to start the day. As reported by the NWS, the forecast suggests a change is coming, with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms expected before noon, followed by a clearing sky and a high near 79 degrees. Winds are set to shift from south to west-northwest as the day progresses, potentially bringing gusts of up to 20 mph.
The evening will bring mostly clear skies and cooler temperatures dropping to around 49. While the wind will slow to a light breeze from the west-northwest, it’s set to become calm after midnight, hinting at a tranquil setting for anyone looking to enjoy the night outdoors. However, don’t let the serene night fool you, because the calmness speaks nothing of the brisk cool that silently encroaches. Tomorrow's outlook points to sunny skies with temperatures peaking at about 75 degrees, and light winds picking up from the south-southwest in the afternoon, offering a modest respite from the stillness of the morning.
As San Antonio heads into the final days of the year, the weather promises to stay favorable for end-of-year festivities. Monday's forecast is all about sunshine with highs soaring up to the lower 80s and some breezy conditions, followed by a clear night and a low around 49 degrees. Tuesday will see a noticeable dip in temperatures, reaching around 66 degrees with winds maintaining a cool presence, just as everyone prepares to bid adieu to 2024 under mostly clear skies and a low settling in the low 40s.
New Year's Day itself will greet revelers with a blend of sun and cloud, as the thermometer climbs near 59 degrees according to forecasters—the wind's calm persistence throughout the day should make for an auspicious start to the new year, then Wednesday night's partly cloudy conditions roll in, leading to a low around 38 degrees, and as we edge into Thursday, locals can expect mostly sunny skies again with a high nudging 60; however, the temperature is set to slightly dip at night amid more cloud cover with lows hovering around 44 degrees, setting a scene of typical winter weather patterns as the first week of January commences.
