San Antonio begins the day with a mild and slightly humid feel as temperatures hover near 58 degrees under calm skies.

A light southeast breeze is in place, signaling gradual changes as the region transitions toward a wetter pattern heading into the weekend.
High pressure remains in control across South Texas today, keeping skies mostly sunny and conditions dry. Afternoon temperatures will climb quickly, reaching near 80 degrees. The warmth will feel more like early April than winter, encouraging outdoor plans and extended time outside. Drivers along major corridors including I-35 and Loop 410 can expect dry pavement and bright sunshine through late afternoon, with no weather-related travel concerns during the day.
Friday turns even warmer as the warming trend continues. Highs are forecast to reach around 82 degrees with increasing cloud cover throughout the afternoon. Humidity levels will gradually rise, making the air feel heavier compared to today’s relatively comfortable conditions.

Saturday brings the primary Weather Alert period for the San Antonio area. Widespread showers are likely, with rain chances increasing to around 80 percent. A few thunderstorms may develop before mid-afternoon, producing brief heavy downpours and gusty winds. Winds are expected to shift from the southeast to the west, with gusts reaching up to 20 mph.

The broader outlook over the next week to ten days favors above-normal temperatures across much of Texas. Residents should remain aware of changing weather conditions, particularly heading into the weekend storm system. For now, San Antonio enjoys a stretch of warm, sunny days before rain briefly interrupts the pattern. Springlike vibes continue to build across the region as February delivers an early taste of warmer seasons ahead.
