The San Antonio area is in for a mix of wet weather over the Easter weekend, with a chance of showers and storms on Thursday morning, a cold front bringing more rain on Saturday, and the possibility of lingering rain on Easter Sunday.

Why it matters

The changing weather patterns can impact travel, outdoor plans, and Easter celebrations in the San Antonio region, so it's important for residents to stay informed and prepared.

The details

A storm system passing to the north will bring a line of showers and a few storms to the area overnight Wednesday into early Thursday morning. This could affect the Thursday morning commute, with damp roads and possible delays. On Saturday, a cold front is expected to move through, bringing a line of showers and storms, along with breezy north winds. The rain should clear out by the late afternoon and evening hours. On Easter Sunday, disturbances in the upper levels could stir up more showers, so residents are advised to have a backup indoor option for any outdoor Easter activities.

What they’re saying

“A storm system will pass to our north, bringing a broken line of showers and storms to the area overnight. For those in the Hill Country, a strong storm or two is possible. For San Antonio, we'll be on the far southern end of the line, giving us lower odds of any severe weather.”

“A cold front will move through on Saturday. The latest trends bring the front in earlier rather than later, meaning it could arrive as early as midday. Along the front, expect a line of showers and storms, along with breezy north winds.”

— KSAT Meteorologists

“On Easter Sunday, disturbances in the upper levels will move across the area. This will stir up the potential for more showers. While it's not a guarantee, it's best to have a back-up, indoor option for any Easter egg hunts...just in case!”
