Evening Weather: Thursday's Rain Chance Climbs to 42 Percent, Friday Turns Showery and Cool, and Monday Brings a Thunderstorm Risk at 89

San Antonio's afternoon stayed warm and gray on Wednesday, with the station's live Open-Meteo feed reading 80.5 degrees — feeling like 87 — under overcast skies at the top of the evening file. Wednesday's high tops out near 83 with an overnight low of 68 and only a 5 percent precipitation chance, so the evening itself stays dry for the commute home and for Spurs fans following the late game in Utah.

Thursday is the change. The feed now puts Thursday's high at 82.7 degrees with the low at 67.8 — and, the new number in this file, a precipitation chance of 42 percent, the highest of the week to that point. Drivers on the Thursday drives should plan for wet roads to be a real possibility rather than a mention, and anyone with outdoor plans Thursday evening should have a covered fallback ready.

Friday then turns showery and noticeably cooler: the feed carries a rain code for Friday with a high of only 71.4 and a low of 63.6, at a 38 percent precipitation chance — the cool, wet day the Halloween file has been pointing to, with trick-or-treat-adjacent plans on Friday best kept flexible. The weekend rebounds quickly: Saturday reaches 80.1 with the rain chance down to 14 percent, and Sunday climbs to 83.7 at just 1 percent.

The next system in the feed is Monday's: a thunderstorm code at a high of 89.2 degrees and a 17 percent precipitation chance, before Tuesday falls back to 78.6. A thunderstorm code at that distance is a watch item, not a warning — the Weather Desk will track it through the weekend files as the signal firms up or fades.
