Friday at 5 P.M. in San Antonio: 73 and Clear — Friday's High Climbs to 76, Sunday's Rain Holds at 85 Percent
The Weather Desk's 17:00 file: San Antonio stands at 73.5 degrees under a clear sky at evening, and Friday's high has been raised to 75.7. Saturday runs drizzle at 73.1 with a 37 percent rain chance, and Sunday remains the wet day — rain at 59.6 with an 85 percent chance.
Friday evening arrives clear and mild. The station's live weather feed — the twanews.com weather endpoint, read directly this run — showed 73.5 degrees under a clear sky (weather code 0), feeling like 70.5, at the 5:00 hour Friday, and Friday's own line has been raised to a high of 75.7 with a low of 58.9 and a precipitation probability of 12 percent. That is a dry, comfortable evening for the Bands of America prelims at the Alamodome, the Brennan-Harlan district title game at Farris Stadium, Wurstfest's opening night in New Braunfels and the Spurs' late tip at Sacramento.
Saturday's line is unchanged in kind and slightly warmer at night: drizzle (code 51), a high of 73.1, a low of 57.9 — up from 56.1 at the 3:00 file — and a rain chance of 37 percent. Sunday does not move: rain (code 65), a high of only 59.6, a low of 57.3 and a precipitation probability of 85 percent — the weekend's one true rain day, with Monday still wet behind it on showers (code 80), 60.7 degrees and a 77 percent chance.
The rest of the week settles. Tuesday runs drizzle at 71.0 with the chance down to 20 percent, Wednesday holds drizzle at 68.7 with the chance at 14 percent, and Thursday clears to overcast and warmer at 75.9 with the chance at 6 percent. The desk's plain read: this clear Friday evening is the best weather of the weekend — enjoy it, treat Saturday as mostly dry with a drizzle caveat, and plan Sunday around rain.
