San Antonians can expect a sunny streak over the next few days, with temperatures inching towards the high 90s. Today's outlook promises mostly sunny skies with tops of 94 degrees, while the evening will cool down to a comfortable 75 degrees; the winds will remain gentle throughout the day, according to the latest National Weather Service forecast.
Sunday's conditions are slated to push the mercury even higher – up to 96 degrees – though, with a heat index possibly reaching 100, so residents should stay hydrated and look for shade, especially since the light north wind shifting east in the afternoon offers little relief from the intensifying heat. Sunday night will mirror the previous evening with mostly clear skies and a low of 75 degrees.
As we roll into Monday, there's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms cropping up post-1 p.m., despite the sunny start and projected high of 96 degrees; the southeast winds are expected to pick up a bit throughout the day. The night could see these chances persist slightly after 1 a.m., under partly cloudy skies with temps bottoming out around 76 degrees, retaining that light southeastern breeze.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, the chance of rain ramps up to 30 percent after midday, and though the sun plans to make an appearance, San Antonio might be in for some thunderstorms with a forecast high again nearing the 96-degree mark and the winds maintaining a steady pace from the south southeast. That night, the likelihood of rain pushes to 40 percent, with temperatures hovering at the mid-70s and the winds making a subtle turn from the east southeast, while Wednesday shapes up similarly with a 40 percent chance of precipitation and potential thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Midweek forecasts keep the trend of partly sunny days and chances of rain, seeming to slightly diminish towards the end of the week, with Thursday and Friday promising mostly sunny skies and less worry of thunderstorms. San Antonio is set to sizzle with highs anticipated around 94 for Thursday and a scorching 97 to round out the week come Friday. While the evenings will offer minimal respite, maintaining lows in the mid-70s throughout the period.
