San Antonio started Friday under clear skies and comfortable morning air, with temperatures already sitting in the low 60s. By afternoon, the sun is expected to push highs into the mid 80s, landing near 86°F under mostly sunny skies and light east-northeast winds of about 5 to 10 mph.

Afternoon And Weekend

The quiet, sunny stretch sticks around through the weekend, with dry conditions and highs close to 86°F both Saturday and Sunday. By Sunday, winds turn more southerly at 5 to 15 mph, with afternoon gusts that could reach 25 mph, while overnight lows hover near 60°F.

Thursday's Heat In Context

Thursday brought a blast of heat that felt more like midsummer than midwinter, with local reports of temperatures climbing into the mid 90s. It was an unusually hot day for February and a sharp reminder of how warm this pattern has been. Express-News detailed the record readings and the broader warmup across South Texas.

Fog And Next Week's Rain Chances

Patchy fog may develop overnight into Saturday morning and could cut visibility for early drivers, with lows around 60°F. The National Weather Service expects well-above-average temperatures to roll on through next week while low-level moisture returns, bringing low to medium (roughly 20 to 40 percent) chances of showers and storms by midweek, with timing and details updated in the latest forecast from the National Weather Service.

What This Means For You

Plan on a little extra time for early drives where fog settles in, and secure any loose patio items before those gustier Sunday afternoons. Sunscreen and water are still smart moves on these warm days, and for now there are no active watches or warnings in effect for the metro.
