It’s certainly feeling more like spring these days, which means opportunities for thunderstorms will start to become more frequent. A potent storm system will likely bring severe weather to Texas, however, the track is trending farther north, taking much of the energy north of San Antonio.
KEY POINTS
- Clouds, patchy drizzle, and light showers are possible today, with warm and muggy conditions
- As a front approaches, isolated rain and storms are possible overnight Thursday and early Friday
- Not everyone will see rain, but a few storms that do develop could be strong-to-severe, especially north of San Antonio. Hail and gusty winds would be the main concerns
- Friday will be warmer with a high in the low 80s. Drier air pumps in throughout the day
- Cooler this weekend with lows back in the 40s and highs in the 60s!
Thursday (Mar. 7)
It’ll be a generally cloudy day, with patchy drizzle and a few light showers. A storm or two is possible across the Hill Country.
A front will begin to kick up storms Thursday night into the early morning hours on Friday. However, activity will be isolated.
As storms develop, some could become strong to severe, however widespread severe weather is not expected. The highest odds of severe storms will be well to the north of San Antonio. Hail and gusty winds would be the main threats.
Because of the isolated nature of the storms, widespread, heavy rainfall is not expected either.
Friday (Mar. 8)
Lingering showers and storms through the Friday morning drive should clear the area by mid-morning, leaving drier in their wake.
Afternoon highs may still manage to climb into the low 80s Friday afternoon, then cooler air settles in for the weekend.
This Weekend (Mar. 9 - Mar. 10)
Chilly mornings in the 40s return this weekend followed by nice afternoons in the 60s with low humidity. Great weather to kick off spring break for many!
It will be windy on Saturday with gusts up to 35 mph+, but winds will settle down by Sunday.
Stay tuned for more updates this week regarding the spring break forecast.
