Easter Sunday is serving up clouds and a noticeable chill in San Antonio, with area stations reporting temperatures near 61°F this morning. Expect spotty, on-and-off showers through the day and a cool high around 68°F, with northeast winds holding near 15 mph. Gusts will add an extra bite, especially across the southern half of the metro this afternoon.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
According to the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio, a tight pressure gradient will keep northeast winds on the breezy side this afternoon, with gusts up to 30 mph and about a 30% chance of rain showers. Any showers that do develop should stay scattered and favor the southern part of the forecast area, then taper off into the evening as lows drop into the mid-50s. Monday is expected to turn milder, with highs near 72°F and fewer clouds, though a few morning showers are still in play.
Timing And Travel
Breezy pockets and brief downpours could slick up the roads and kick up sudden crosswinds on elevated ramps, so build in some extra braking distance and be ready for quick visibility changes during any heavier showers. If your Easter plans involve outdoor services, brunch, or backyard time, bring a rain jacket and secure any lightweight patio furniture before the afternoon gusts start taking liberties.

Count on a cool, cloudy Easter with spotty showers and blustery stretches this afternoon, with milder and drier weather likely returning by Monday. No watches or warnings are in effect for Bexar County right now, but it is worth checking for updates if you have evening plans. Stay alert for short-lived downpours and gusty winds as the day unfolds.
