Hey San Antonio! If you’re wondering what kind of weather you’re walking into today—or trying to figure out if this weekend is picnic-worthy—I’ve got you covered. Here’s the lowdown on what the skies are doing, what’s coming up, and a few things to keep in mind this week.
Today’s Forecast: Mild Morning, Warmer Afternoon
We’re starting the day off under some mostly cloudy skies, but it’s a comfy 69°F out there right now—pretty ideal for a morning stroll or grabbing coffee on the patio.
As the day goes on, it’s going to warm up to around 85°F, and the best part? It’s not too humid today. That nice little breeze we’ve got going this morning will calm down, and the sun should peek out more later on. Tonight will cool down to a pleasant 64°F, so it’s windows-open weather if you’re into that kind of thing.
Looking Ahead: Warm, Windy, and a Chance of Storms
If you like it warm, you’re going to love the next few days. Here’s how it’s shaping up:
-
Wednesday: A little more cloud cover but warm and breezy, with a high around 88°F.
-
Thursday & Friday: Summer’s showing off early—highs near 91°F both days with sunshine and wind.
-
Saturday: Still warm at 87°F, with a mix of sun and clouds. Afternoon will be a bit gusty.
-
Sunday: Heads-up—a chance of thunderstorms rolls in. Still warm, about 86°F, but maybe pack an umbrella if you’re out and about.
-
Monday: Back to sunny and toasty, with highs around 90°F.
So yeah, spring is feeling a lot like early summer this week.
Bigger Picture: Hotter, Drier Spring Ahead
NOAA’s calling it—San Antonio’s in for a hotter-than-normal spring. We’ve got a weak La Niña doing its thing in the Pacific, and that usually means less rain and more heat for us down here in South Texas.
Here’s what that means for us:
-
Pretty good odds (58% chance) that we’re going to stay warmer than usual.
-
Rain? Meh. Not looking like we’ll see much anytime soon.
-
We’ve only gotten about half the rainfall we usually have by this time of year.
-
And yep—we’re officially in extreme drought territory now.
Heads-Up: Fire Danger is Real
April is one of those months where we have to be extra careful. It’s warm, it’s dry, and when the wind kicks up—it’s a perfect storm for wildfires. So if you’re grilling, camping, or even just burning brush in your backyard, be extra cautious. Burn bans could pop up fast.
TL;DR — What You Need to Know
-
Morning = mild. Afternoon = warm and sunny. Enjoy it!
-
It’s breezy all week, so tie down your patio umbrella.
-
Sunday could get stormy—keep an eye out.
-
Water your plants, your grass… maybe even yourself.
-
Be smart about fire—conditions are dry and risky.
