San Antonio residents can brace for varied weather in the upcoming week with a chance of showers and hot temperatures, according to the National Weather Service. The latest forecast predicts a 30 percent probability of overnight showers and thunderstorms, with a mostly cloudy sky and a low around 74 degrees.
Today's forecast promises mostly sunny skies with a high flying up near 96 degrees, and a heat index making it feel as oppressive as 100 degrees; these balmy conditions are owing to a mild south-southeast wind moving at 5 to 10 miles per hour and potentially gusting up to 20 mph. As night falls, the clouds will increase, and the wind too, coming from the southeast at a stronger 10 to 15 mph and with occasional gusts hitting as high as 20 mph. The low will hover around 76 degrees. Going into the weekend, San Antonio is looking at a mostly cloudy Saturday morning that will later hand off to the sun and heat, with a high soaring at nearly 99 degrees and heat index values around 103 degrees, with persistent yet mild south winds and gusts similar to Friday’s.
Come Sunday, the city will partly bask in sunshine with a lesser yet still sizzling high near 97 degrees; southeast winds will prevail, ranging from 10 to 15 mph and gusts potentially climbing to 25 mph. Sunday night carries "a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms," marking a slight uptick in nightly lows to around 78 degrees, with the southeast wind persisting up to 15 mph and gusts standing at a possible high of 25 mph, as reported by the NWS. The weather for Memorial Day amps up the chance of rain after 1pm to 40 percent, accompanied by a high near 94 degrees and continued typical south winds.
Into the week, the forecast remains relatively consistent, with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms by Monday night, mostly before 1 a.m., followed by a partly sunny Tuesday coupled with a 30 percent chance of afternoon rain and highs lingering around the low 90s. Winds throughout are expected to remain tame, with gusts capping at 20 mph. The pattern holds steady through mid-week, with Wednesday mimicking Tuesday's likelihood of rainfall and a high once again close to 91, as the skies at night maintain a minimal 20 percent chance of precipitation, the nighttime low sitting comfortably around 74 degrees. Residents can anticipate a recurring 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms by next Thursday and a high near the more moderate end of 90 degrees.
