San Antonio is in for a wet and breezy Easter weekend as a cold front moves in from the north, according to the National Weather Service.
Rain will start moving in from the west Saturday morning, gradually spreading across the city. Most areas will see scattered showers, and temperatures will warm into the upper 70s. It won’t be a washout, but umbrellas and jackets could come in handy if you have plans outside.
By the afternoon, the front fully arrives, and a few strong storms could pop up, mainly east of Llano and around San Antonio. Meteorologists say damaging winds, lightning, and heavy downpours are possible, with some spots picking up about an inch of rain. Gusts could reach up to 30 mph, giving the day a blustery feel.
Saturday night will cool into the mid-50s after a warm day in the upper 70s. Sunday stays mostly cloudy, with highs around 65 and lows again in the mid-50s. Showers could return, particularly along the I-35 corridor and out toward the Rio Grande Plains, which might make Easter egg hunts a little soggy.
Monday brings a break from the rain, though it will stay on the cool side, with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. A few scattered showers could pop up through the week, but overall it’s shaping up to be a cooler, wetter stretch, giving South Central Texas a much-needed break from drought conditions.
