San Antonio rolled into Wednesday (Feb. 11) under a blanket of low clouds and patchy fog, with muggy, mid-60s air making the early commute feel a bit sluggish. The haze is expected to burn off after sunrise, trading in the gray for mostly sunny skies and a mild afternoon high near 76°F. North-northeast winds should stay on the gentle side, around 5 to 10 mph.
Morning Fog, Mostly Sunny Afternoon
Patchy fog is most likely before 8 a.m., so early drivers may run into pockets of reduced visibility. After that, skies should steadily clear, setting up a mostly sunny afternoon and that near-76°F high. Light north-northeast breezes will be the main story for wind, with only slightly stronger gusts in more exposed areas. There are no watches or warnings in place for the metro this morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Weekend Storm Window
By late Friday night and into Saturday (Feb. 14), the pattern flips back to wet. Rain chances ramp up with the best shot at showers and scattered thunderstorms Saturday morning into the early afternoon. A few storms could kick out strong gusts, locally as high as 25 mph, though the overall severe threat in San Antonio looks lower than what is expected in parts of North and East Texas. Forecasters and local coverage are urging folks to keep an eye on updates through Friday night, since storm timing and coverage could still shift, per the San Antonio Express-News.
What This Means For You
If you are on the road between about 6 and 9 a.m., build in a little extra time for fog and lower visibility. By midday, conditions should be pleasant enough for outdoor errands, lunch plans, or a walk. For Saturday (Feb. 14), expect the soggiest stretch to run from morning into early afternoon and think about a backup plan for any outdoor events. A quick check of the forecast before heading out should be enough to keep most plans on track.
