What We're Tracking: Thunderstorms to kick off the holiday weekend
What's Happening: High pressure usually means fair weather but in this particular case it won't be enough to completely erase any rain chances the next couple of days. This area of high pressure is sitting just to our south and east and is allowing a steady flow of high humidity to move in from the Gulf of Mexico making these warm late-spring temperatures feel even warmer. A series of weak upper-level disturbances over Mexico and New Mexico are moving east and in most cases would get swallowed up by high pressure but t'storms that have occurred to our west might be strong enough to hold together and move east toward San Antonio today and Saturday. It looks like whatever heads our way will be weakening by the time it gets here but the bottom line is that the holiday weekend might begin a bit unsettled. Eventually this big high pressure system will win out and partly to mostly sunny skies are likely for Sunday and Memorial Day Monday.
Forecast:
Today: Partly sunny, 20% chance of afternoon showers. High: 93 Wind: SE 5-15
Saturday: 30% chance of scattered showers/t'storms. Low: 75 High: 91 Wind: SE 10
Sunday-Monday: Mostly sunny, warm and humid. Lows: Lower 70s Highs: Lower 90s Winds: SSE 10-15
