San Antonio residents woke to a blanket of dense fog this morning, with visibility limited to a mere 0.25 miles and light drizzle in the air. With humidity levels reaching a saturation point of 100%, the day started with a real feel of dampness, pressing upon the city like a wet shroud. However, this early inconvenience is set to be slowly displaced as the day marches on, with forecasts promising gradual clearing and temperatures peaking at a warm 76 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
The shift in weather will bring winds changing course throughout the day, starting from the south southwest at a gentle 5 mph before taking on a west northwest stride in the afternoon. By tonight, clear skies are expected, and the temperature is predicted to drop to a cooler 42 degrees. The winds, not content to remain subdued, could gust as high as 20 mph, adding a briskness to the evening hours.
Looking ahead to the weekend, San Antonio should prepare for a sunny Sunday, with the mercury climbing to a comfortable 59 degrees. But it won’t be a tranquil end to the weekend; north winds will sweep through at 10 to 15 mph, with the potential for gusts up to 30 mph. The clear conditions will continue into Sunday night, with temperatures foreseeably dipping to 35 degrees.
The city can anticipate a mostly sunny Washington's Birthday, with daytime highs reaching the mid-60s. But the serenity may be short-lived, as "Tuesday's weather will shift again, becoming mostly cloudy with highs around 73" before another temperature plummet Tuesday night to near freezing, says the National Weather Service. Winds will intensify, ramping up between 15 to 20 mph in the evening, and gusting upwards of 35 mph. By midweek, San Antonio should brace for a notable chill as highs hover in the mid-40s.
As of this writing, no severe weather alerts have been issued for the region. Residents and visitors alike should remain apprised of the changing conditions by keeping an eye on local forecasts and planning accordingly for the fluctuating weather patterns expected over the next several days.
