Friday brings showers followed by partly sunny skies, with a high near 72 as a strong cold front quickly changes the feel of the day. A few showers could linger through midmorning before skies brighten, with powerful north winds taking over.
Rain Fades As Dangerous Gusts Take Over
The rain chance is about 40%, with less than a tenth of an inch expected in the city before showers taper off around 10 a.m. After that, north-northeast winds of 20 to 25 mph will push across the area, with gusts reaching up to 45 mph.
A National Weather Service Wind Advisory remains in effect through 7 p.m. Friday. Officials warn that gusts could blow around unsecured objects, bring down tree limbs and make driving difficult for high-profile vehicles, so patio furniture and Halloween decorations may want to stay grounded.
Chilly Mornings Arrive For The Weekend
Friday night will turn partly cloudy and noticeably cooler, with a low near 52 and north winds still gusting as high as 40 mph. Saturday looks sunny with a high near 70, while another cool night drops temperatures to around 50.
Sunday brings a mild rebound to about 73 degrees under mostly sunny skies, and Sunday night will drop to around 55. Rain is not expected through the weekend, giving outdoor plans a much calmer forecast after Friday's bluster.
Warm-Up Returns Next Week
The cooler air will not stick around for long. Highs climb to about 78 Monday, 83 Tuesday, 87 Wednesday and 88 Thursday, with mostly sunny skies and only small rain chances.
The shift is a notable update from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which focused on the front's arrival; Friday's advisory is now in effect as the wind and cooler air move into San Antonio.
