San Antonio is looking at a beautiful Tuesday with sunny skies and a high near 86°F — perfect conditions for a stroll along the River Walk, a hike at Government Canyon, or getting to Frost Bank Center early for tonight’s Spurs playoff game. The National Weather Service reports zero chance of rain with light northeast winds around 5 mph, so get outside while the weather is this cooperative.
Today’s Setup
An upper-level ridge over the four-corners region is keeping South Texas dry and clear. Winds stay light out of the northeast through most of the day, then shift southeast this evening — that’s what starts pulling warmth and humidity back in over the coming days. Tonight stays comfortable with a low near 66°F and mostly clear skies.
Best Window To Be Outside
All day looks good. Morning is ideal for a run along the Mission Trails or an early tee time — this stretch of low humidity is exactly what golfers dream of. Check out our best golf balls for high handicappers guide before you head out. Keep a Stanley tumbler 40oz with you; the afternoon sun will warm up fast toward that 86°F high.
Spurs Game 5 Tonight
The San Antonio Spurs host the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight in Game 5 of the West Conference Semifinals at Frost Bank Center. It’s indoors, so the afternoon heat is a non-issue once you’re in your seat — but downtown will be buzzing well before tip-off. Show up in your San Antonio Spurs jersey and plan for limited parking; playoff crowds fill the lots fast. Still hunting for seats?

Allergy Alert
Sunny, dry, and lightly breezy days like today are prime pollen-spreading conditions across the San Antonio area. Cedar, oak, and grass pollen can all run elevated this time of year. If you’re sensitive, keep a HEPA air purifier running indoors and windows closed during peak afternoon hours — your sinuses will thank you before the big game.

Wednesday climbs to near 91°F and Thursday reaches 93°F with south wind gusts up to 20 mph. The first real rain chances arrive late weekend: the National Weather Service puts Saturday below 20% but bumps Sunday night into Monday to 20–50%, with heat indices possibly reaching 100–108°F along the Rio Grande Plains. Tuck a packable rain jacket into your bag before the weekend. Follow the full San Antonio weather forecast as those timing details sharpen.
