San Antonians might want to keep an umbrella at hand this afternoon, with a slight chance of rain making an unexpected cameo in the day's otherwise temperate acts. The National Weather Service predicts "a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm," alongside increasing clouds and a tolerable high near 83 degrees. The comfort of a gentle north wind, 5 to 10 mph with possible gusts of 20 mph, stands to accompany residents throughout the day.
As night draws a curtain over the city, the potential for showers and thunderstorms diminishes before 8 p.m., leading into a night sky that's merely partly cloudy with, a low around 62 degrees. The north wind maintains its presence, persisting at a pace of 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow promises a display of solar generosity with clear skies and a high near 86 degrees, and minimal wind to ruffle the tranquil tableau of another Texan day.
Looking further ahead, the workweek appears to herald a scorching symphony of high temperatures. Monday's forecast sings a sunny tune with the mercury climbing to a high near 93, and a calm wind turning southwestern in the afternoon. The evening remains mostly clear, as temperatures take a modest dip to a low around 65.
The real heat wave rolls in on Tuesday, with the prediction of a "sunny and hot" day that could see temperatures soaring to a sizzling high near 103 degrees. It's a similar story through the midweek, with Wednesday heating up to an even more blistering 104 degrees, settling down only marginally to a low around 72 at night. South winds are expected to be present throughout, gusting as high as 20 mph, though their respite, will come as little solace in the face of such intense heat.
San Antonio's "mostly sunny and hot" trend presses on through Thursday and Friday, where highs persist at the century mark. By the end of the week, the city should be bracing for a high near 99 degrees under partly sunny skies. Despite the mounting degrees, the evenings offer a slight reprieve, with Thursday night forecasts showing “mostly cloudy” conditions and a low around 74 degrees.
