Hey San Antonio! Buckle up because this week’s weather is about to throw a little bit of everything your way. We’ve got warm, sunny days mixed in with thunderstorms, heavy rain, and a sudden cool-down by the weekend. Whether you’re planning a fun day outside or just staying indoors, here’s what you need to know to stay prepared.
Tuesday, April 1: A Warm Start with Some Light Showers
April is kicking off with a warm, breezy start. You can expect highs around 87°F (31°C) and lows around 71°F (22°C) at night. Early in the day, there’s a chance of light showers, so if you’re heading out in the morning, you might want to grab an umbrella. After that, we’ll see a mix of sunshine and clouds, and while it’ll still be warm, it won’t feel as intense as the days to come. The humidity will be pretty high, so make sure you’re drinking enough water if you’re outdoors.
Wednesday, April 2: A Hotter Day with Sunny Skies
Wednesday is going to be hot, with temperatures pushing up to 90°F (32°C). We’ll start the day mild, but as the afternoon rolls in, it’s going to feel like summer. You’ll see plenty of sunshine, but there will also be a few clouds hanging around. The humidity won’t be as bad as Tuesday, so you might feel a little more comfortable—still, it’ll be a good idea to take it easy during the hottest parts of the day. If you’re out and about, try to plan your outdoor activities in the morning or evening when it’s cooler.
Thursday, April 3: Heat Continues, But Thunderstorms Are On The Way
On Thursday, we’re keeping the heat rolling with a high of 88°F (31°C), and temperatures will stay warm at night, dipping only to 74°F (23°C). It’s going to feel pretty muggy, so prepare for some sticky weather. The day will start off mostly sunny, but by the afternoon, thunderstorms will be rolling in. The storms could bring heavy rain, strong winds, and even some hail, so if you have any outdoor plans, be ready to head indoors. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the weather throughout the day because conditions could change fast.
Friday, April 4: Severe Storms Expected – Stay Alert!
Friday is shaping up to be the stormiest day of the week, with a high of 91°F (33°C) and lows around 70°F (21°C). The morning will feel hot and sticky, but things will quickly take a turn for the worse as the afternoon brings strong thunderstorms. We’re talking potential flash flooding, high winds, and maybe even a tornado or two. If you’ve got outdoor plans, it’s best to have a backup, just in case. Make sure you’re staying informed throughout the day, and if a severe weather warning is issued, don’t take any chances—find a safe spot, preferably indoors, and stay put until things calm down. Flash flooding could make roads dangerous, so avoid driving if you can.
Saturday, April 5: Morning Storms Followed by Clearer Skies
Saturday morning is going to start off with some lingering storms, but by the afternoon, things should clear up. We’ll reach a high of 82°F (28°C), but temperatures will dip significantly to around 50°F (10°C) at night. It’s a great day to get outside once the storms pass, but be careful of wet roads and any debris that might still be around. The weather will be much cooler than it’s been all week, which will feel like a nice break after all the heat and humidity.
Sunday, April 6: Cooler and Breezy – A Great Day for Outdoor Fun
Sunday will bring a big change in temperature. The high will be around 65°F (19°C), and the low will drop to 44°F (6°C) overnight. It’s going to be cooler and breezy, with plenty of sunshine—perfect weather for outdoor activities. Whether you’re planning to stroll through a park or head out for a hike, Sunday looks like a great day to be outside. The cool air will be a welcome change from the hot and humid days earlier in the week.
Monday, April 7: A Calm and Beautiful Day to Start the Week
Monday will give us a nice, calm end to the week, with temperatures reaching a high of 69°F (21°C) and a low of 43°F (6°C). The skies will be mostly sunny, and the cool, refreshing breeze will make it feel perfect for a morning walk or any outdoor plans. It’s the kind of day that’ll make you wish every Monday was this beautiful!
