But after that, weather models are depicting yet another shift in the weather pattern \u2013 one that could bring daily chances of showers and thunderstorms back into the region. Here\u2019s an overview of what you can expect.<\/p>\n<p>Just like in the past few days, low humidity across South Texas will result in a cool Thursday morning, with temperatures expected in the mid-60s. Temps will rise quickly, though, reaching the lower 80s as early as 11 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>By the late afternoon, San Antonio temperatures are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/ewx\/\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">expected to reach the lower 90s<\/a>. A few scattered clouds will stream in from the west, but for the most part, skies will stay sunny. Winds will turn breezy by the afternoon, moving in from the south at 10-15 mph.<\/p>\n<p>High atmospheric pressure over Texas will weaken slightly, which will lead to a few scattered showers and thunderstorms over western parts of the state. However, rain chances across South and Central Texas will stay slim to none.<\/p>\n<p>Southerly winds will continue to be quite breezy from Friday and into the weekend, with some gusts stronger\u00a0than 25 mph. This will draw atmospheric moisture from the Gulf of Mexico into South-Central Texas. While rain chances are not expected to rise much Friday or Saturday, areas in and around San Antonio will likely notice an increase in humidity and clouds.<\/p>\n<p>Temperatures will also stay quite warm, likely peaking in San Antonio in the lower 90s both Friday and Saturday. Overnight temps will also stay in the 70s as a result of higher moisture levels in the air. Some wind speeds are expected to rise above 25 mph\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sunday is expected to be an extremely muggy day in South Texas, as dew points \u2013 an indicator of moisture saturation in the atmosphere \u2013 will surge into the 70s. By Sunday evening, a few showers and storms are expected to develop, although rain chances in San Antonio will remain relatively low at 20% to 30%.<\/p>\n<p>Long-range weather models suggest rain chances will continue increasing through next week. San Antonio is projected to have around a 40% chance of thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday, followed by a 50% to 60% chance of more widespread rainfall on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Blend of Models, San Antonio has the potential to see an inch to 3 inches of rainfall over the next seven days. Weather models are also projecting more than an inch of rainfall for many other Texas cities, including Austin, Dallas and Houston.<\/p>\n<p>This pattern change is still several days away, so uncertainty remains regarding the exact timing and intensity of next week\u2019s storms. However, mid- to late May is typically the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressnews.com\/san-antonio-weather\/article\/hail-alley-texas-storms-oklahoma-colorado-21956927.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">peak of Texas\u2019 severe weather season,<\/a> meaning at least some of this activity could produce large hail and damaging winds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The hot and dry weather is expected to continue for the next few days.
