SAN ANTONIO — A weak cold front early this week left drier, breezy conditions today with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s to near 90F.
Those breezy, dry conditions are raising local fire-weather concerns in dry hill-country areas and keeping air quality in the Moderate range for San Antonio this afternoon; sensitive groups should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.

A stronger storm system is expected Friday night into Saturday, when Gulf moisture and an approaching front could produce scattered to widespread showers, a few strong thunderstorms, and pockets of heavy rain.
Model runs differ on exact amounts and placement (guidance shows anywhere from light totals to locally heavy 1–4 amounts in parts of central Texas) so, have alternate outdoor plans Saturday morning.
