San Antonio is waking up Wednesday to lingering showers and thunderstorms, but the National Weather Service says those clear eastward by 10 AM CT — after that, expect partly sunny skies and a high near 83°F. If you have morning plans near the River Walk or downtown, give it until mid-morning before heading out.
Today’s Setup
A line of storms that moved through the Hill Country overnight has been pushing along the I-35 corridor and will continue east through early morning. Rainfall totals stay under a tenth of an inch for most of San Antonio — this isn’t a major flood event, though the Weather Prediction Center has flagged a Marginal Risk for excessive rainfall across South Texas. We’re in Flash Flood Alley, so keep an eye on low-water crossings near Fort Sam Houston and the South Side if cells linger. Light ESE winds around 5 mph keep it from feeling dramatic.
Best Window To Be Outside
Once storms exit by 10 AM CT, Wednesday turns pleasant — partly sunny, 83°F, barely any wind. Great window for a lunch walk on the River Walk, an afternoon at Brackenridge Park, or knocking out yard work before the weekend pattern gets active. If you’ve been eyeing a new club, the Callaway Big Bertha Fairway Wood is on sale at $150 — a solid pick before summer rounds heat up.
What To Wear Or Bring
Carry a compact travel umbrella or packable rain jacket for the morning commute — once skies clear you won’t need them, but the early hours are legitimately wet. Waterproof hiking boots are worth it if you’re outdoors before 10 AM CT near any drainage areas.
Spurs Game 6 & Weekend Events
The biggest game of the year for the Alamo City is Thursday: the San Antonio Spurs host the Oklahoma City Thunder in West Conference Finals Game 6 at Frost Bank Center. The Thursday forecast is on your side — partly sunny and near 88°F, with only a slight storm chance after 1 PM CT. The walk to Frost Bank Center should be completely dry. Rock your San Antonio Spurs jersey or San Antonio Spurs hoodie, and if you still need seats, Find tickets on StubHub before they’re gone.
Friday night, May 29, Godsmack brings The Rise of Rock World Tour 2026 to Germania Insurance Amphitheater — an outdoor venue. Friday looks mostly dry before weekend rain returns, but Get tickets on SeatGeek and check the updated forecast before heading out.
Tonight’s Comfort Food
A gray Wednesday is tailor-made for slow cooker chili or beef stew — load up your programmable slow cooker before you leave this morning and dinner handles itself. Prefer stovetop? An enameled cast iron Dutch oven makes a great big pot of soup. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered in time for tonight.
Next Few Days
Thursday warms to near 88°F — drier and warmer, ideal for Game 6 energy around Frost Bank Center. Friday stays mostly dry as well. Then the National Weather Service expects scattered afternoon storms to return each day Saturday through Tuesday as a series of upper-level shortwaves moves through. Nothing looks organized or heavy at this point, but keep rain gear handy for any weekend outdoor plans.
