KEY MESSAGES

- Much cooler for Easter Sunday with on and off showers and overcast skies.

- Seasonable temperatures return by midweek with an active weather pattern continuing into next weekend.

SHORT TERM

(Today through Monday) Issued at 1230 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

Some lingering showers continue late this evening as northerly winds remain quite gusty. Temperatures have fallen into the 50s and lower 60s as of the 10pm hour and are expected to fall further into the upper 40s to middle 50s. A tight gradient between the surface high to the north and the frontal boundary to the south will result in continued breezy northerly winds through the day Sunday. Additional rain showers are most likely across the southern half of the CWA on Sunday as a weak mid-level disturbance swings through Sunday afternoon. Showers will linger through Sunday night into early Monday before shifting south out of our area Monday morning. Cooler temperatures continue Monday, however, some breaks in the clouds should develop by the afternoon hours as winds begin to lighten.

LONG TERM

(Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 1230 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

Tuesday morning will be the coolest morning of the week with temperatures in the 40s for most. East to southeasterly surface flow returns on Tuesday afternoon as mid-level flow remains west- northwesterly. This will result in a series of weak disturbances moving through the area this week, with low end rain chances returning once again Thursday and Friday.

Beyond Friday, medium range guidance is hinting at a much more powerful storm system moving into Texas next weekend into the 2nd week of April. Above normal temperatures and above normal rainfall is favored in the 6-10 and 8-14 Day CPC outlooks for South Central Texas, so hopefully we can continue to put some sort of dent into the short term drought.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 635 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

VFR conditions are forecast for all the area terminals through Monday night. Mid to upper level clouds are forecast for most of the forecast period. Northerly winds with gusts of 20 to 15 knots are forecast for the I-35 Corridor sites especially throughout the day time period. Wind relaxes across the local area this evening and continues into Monday morning. Light passing rain showers are affecting the San Antonio sites as of this writing and the activity could remain through noon/17Z. Otherwise, precipitation is not expected to affect aviation operations such as low clouds or visibilities.
