San Antonio heads into Monday afternoon with mostly sunny skies and a north-northeast breeze. Temperatures are expected to stay near the lower 80s, with winds of 10 to 15 mph and gusts up to 25 mph, the latest National Weather Service forecast for Bexar County says.
Sunny, Breezy Start To The Week
Monday night is forecast to be clear, with a low in the mid-60s. North winds will be 5 to 10 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Tuesday is expected to be sunny with a high in the mid-80s, followed by a clear night with lows in the upper 60s. Wednesday will be mostly sunny, with highs in the mid-80s and northeast winds of 5 to 10 mph; Wednesday night will be mostly clear, with lows in the upper 60s, the updated Bexar County forecast shows.
Small Rain Chances Return Late Week
The late-week shower chance comes as forecasters monitor a tropical disturbance in the Bay of Campeche. The local weather office says the system is expected to remain offshore, with little local effect beyond a few possible showers Thursday and Friday; that keeps the rain outlook tentative rather than a sign of a return to the weekend’s wetter pattern. The Austin/San Antonio weather office’s local outlook puts the disturbance’s chance of tropical development at 50% over seven days.
The dry stretch could wobble late Thursday into Friday, when partly cloudy skies and a slight chance of showers or thunderstorms are in the forecast. Highs are expected to reach the mid-80s, with lows in the upper 60s, the National Weather Service’s latest Bexar County outlook says. The local forecast discussion places the low-end rain chances mainly late Thursday through Friday, at roughly 15% to 25%, with the office describing the risk as low.
The updated outlook is drier than the clouds and spotty shower threat in Sunday's forecast: the National Weather Service expects the early-week front to push drier air into the area and shut off rain chances for now. While a few showers remain possible late Thursday and Friday, the current Bexar County forecast calls for mostly clear conditions Saturday night and partly cloudy skies Sunday.
The milder, drier spell fits a familiar October shift in South-Central Texas: the National Weather Service describes the month as a transition from summer heat, with cooler temperatures and more opportunities for rain and cold fronts. That seasonal pattern helps explain why a run of sunny days can give way to a small shower chance later in the week, even as the weekend forecast remains mostly dry.
Saturday Looks Mostly Sunny
Saturday is expected to be partly cloudy in the morning before skies clear, with a high in the mid-80s, according to the latest National Weather Service forecast.
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for the San Antonio area.
