As of 4:55 a.m. CDT Wednesday, May 27, San Antonio was waking up to about 65°F, air that felt almost saturated, and a light east breeze left over from overnight storms. A line of showers and a few thunderstorms that rolled through in the dark is sliding east, with some spotty light rain still hanging around through mid‑morning before skies turn partly sunny. Plan on a humid day with a high near 83°F for any outdoor errands or workouts.
Morning Showers Move East
Showers and a few thunderstorms stay most likely before 10 a.m., with isolated downpours capable of dropping a tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain where they pass. The Flood Watch that had been in place for parts of South‑Central Texas has been canceled, but isolated heavy rain, gusty winds, lightning and even small hail are still on the table, especially across southern counties, according to the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio.
Afternoon And The Rest Of The Week
Once the morning storms move out, skies should become partly sunny, with an east‑southeast breeze near 5 mph and a sticky high around 83°F. Tonight looks mostly cloudy with a low near 72°F. Thursday heats up into the upper 80s, and a hot, mostly sunny Friday should push temperatures close to 90°F before shower and thunderstorm chances make a comeback over the weekend and into next week.
What This Means For Your Commute
For the morning drive, expect brief slowdowns wherever the rain lingers and keep an eye out for lightning, since any downpours can quickly knock down visibility and clog up the highways. Never drive through standing water and give yourself a little extra time, because low‑lying streets can flood fast in brief, heavy storms.
