San Antonio woke up to a mostly cloudy start this morning with temperatures around 57°F and a steady east-northeast breeze near 15–18 mph. Skies are expected to clear as the day goes on, leaving the city with mostly sunny conditions and a high near 77°F this afternoon. It is a sweet spot kind of day for outdoor errands or an after-work walk before wetter weather muscles back in later in the week.
Afternoon and Tonight
The National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio calls for a pleasant afternoon with a high near 77°F and lighter east-northeast winds around 5 mph. Tonight brings partly cloudy skies and a low near 56°F. Rain chances stay very low today and through Wednesday, although some morning cloud cover and slowly rising dewpoints will make the air feel a bit more humid by Wednesday night.
Late-Week Storm Threat
Moisture returns Thursday, and forecasters say shower and thunderstorm chances will increase heading into Friday and the weekend, with the best odds arriving Friday into Saturday. The Storm Prediction Center has included parts of south-central Texas in its extended outlooks, and local forecasters note that any organized storm clusters would mainly threaten the area with damaging winds, hail and heavy downpours. If you have outdoor plans, it is worth checking for updated forecasts by Friday morning.
Plan Ahead
Today and Wednesday look good for outdoor plans and commutes. Later in the week, it is smart to have a backup plan for any Saturday or Sunday events. Secure loose patio furniture and keep an eye on forecasts Friday through Saturday if you expect to be on the road, since brief heavy downpours can make local streets slick and cut down on visibility.
