Residents of San Antonio should prepare for a shift in weather over the next few days, with the National Weather Service predicting a mix of fog, light rain, and potential sunshine. Early risers today might have noticed the landscape enveloped in a light rain fog and mist, while the temperature hovered at a somewhat chilly 52°F (11°C). The humidity has reached a saturation point at 100%, creating a dense cloak of dampness only penetrated by a mile of visibility.
As the day progresses, the fog is expected to disperse, leaving behind cloudy skies that should eventually clear, giving way to an anticipated high of around 80 degrees; the calm is seemingly deceptive with the wind expected to make a subtle appearance from the west at about 5 mph later in the morning, and as the day wears into night, that calm might betray its stillness as northeastern winds pick up speed ranging from 5 to 15 mph and even gusting as high as 25 mph, driving temperatures down to a low near 40.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday may bring a 20 percent chance of showers post-noon with partly sunny skies and a high nearing 51°F. Wind conditions will continue to be fairly brisk, with north-northeast winds around 15 mph and gusts potentially reaching 30 mph. As nighttime falls, clouds will once again gather, leading to a low around 42°F and winds dialing down slightly while still gusting up to 20 mph.
Looking towards the end of the week, San Antonio is set for cloudy conditions on Friday with highs around 56°F and comparatively milder northeast winds easing into the east-southeast in the afternoon, entering the weekend, the forecast suggests a chance for the sun to reassert itself with partly sunny conditions expected for Saturday and temperatures rebounding to the high 70s albeit the winds will persist, shifting south-southwest and eventually, northwest by the afternoon, dBrought by South southwest wind of around 5 mph changing direction to northwest later on, this shift will culminate in a mostly clear Saturday night with the temperature dropping near 39°F and the north wind regaining strength, potentially gusting to 25 mph.
In anticipation of Washington's Birthday, the outlook is rather pleasant with sunny skies and an agreeable high temperature of approximately 64°F. As the week commences, the nights may carry a touch of cloud cover, with lows edging towards 50°F ahead of Tuesday which is expected to feature partly sunny conditions with highs reaching into the mid-70s.
