Wednesday in San Antonio: Afternoon Storms Possible, Then Warming Up

Good morning, San Antonio! Here’s what you need to know for your Wednesday: there’s a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., so if you’re planning outdoor activities, keep an eye on the sky during the early afternoon hours. It’s not a washout by any means, but those pop-up storms are typical for this time of year as moisture moves through our area.

Today’s Details

Expect mostly cloudy skies with a high near 85°F and light south-southeast winds around 5 to 10 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph possible. If storms do develop, they should be brief and scattered—nothing severe is expected. The storms should clear out by evening, leaving us with mostly cloudy conditions overnight and lows around 70°F.

Your Wednesday Activity Plan

Morning outdoor tasks? Perfect timing! Get your lawn mowed and yard work done before noon. A cordless lawn mower makes quick work of it without the gas and maintenance hassle.

Fishing enthusiasts: The morning bite should be excellent before those afternoon storms roll in. If you’re heading to one of our local lakes or the Hill Country, consider grabbing a portable fish finder and a pair of polarized fishing sunglasses—they’ll help you spot fish in the glare and protect your eyes from the water reflection. A tackle storage kit will keep your gear organized for quick access.

Golf? Get out early! Morning rounds look great before the afternoon storms arrive. Afternoon rounds might get interrupted, so plan accordingly.

Grilling plans? Hold off until Thursday when we have clearer skies. But don’t worry—we’re heading into perfect grilling weather tomorrow!

Thursday Outlook

Things improve significantly Thursday. We’ll see partly sunny skies, a high near 90°F, and minimal rain chances (just 2%). This is your day to fire up the grill! Burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob would be outstanding. The light winds and pleasant conditions make it ideal for spending time on the patio. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your outdoor setup, Thursday would be the perfect day to enjoy new patio furniture or test out that propane grill you’ve had your eye on.

Looking Ahead

The warming trend continues into the weekend. Thursday night drops to around 70°F, and we’re tracking mostly pleasant conditions as we head into Friday and beyond. This is typical spring weather for San Antonio—warm days, mild nights, and occasional afternoon showers that keep things green.

Stay weather-aware today during that afternoon window, but overall, it’s a pretty straightforward Wednesday. Make those morning plans count, and save the grilling for Thursday when the weather cooperates fully!

Stay safe out there, neighbors!
