Will rain dampen the first weekend of Fiesta in San Antonio?

SAN ANTONIO — You might need a poncho if you plan to celebrate the return of San Antonio’s “party with a purpose” this weekend. 

While Thursday and Friday are bringing partly cloudy skies and warm afternoons to San Antonio, there’s a solid chance of rain and possible storms over the first weekend of Fiesta—when fan-favorite events like Oyster Bake, Fiesta Fiesta and Taste of New Orleans are getting underway. 

As of Thursday afternoon, chances for weekend rain in the Alamo City stand at 50%. The cold front will also usher in more refreshing temperatures; after an anticipated Friday afternoon high of around 91 degrees, the mercury won’t escape the 70s this weekend. 

Monday will be even cooler, with afternoon highs in the mid-60s before they start to rise once again. 

Here’s where rain chances stand for the next several days in San Antonio:

  • Friday, April 17: 5%
  • Saturday, April 18: 60%
  • Sunday, April 19: 60%
  • Monday, April 20: 55%
  • Tuesday, April 21: 35%
  • Wednesday, April 22: 15%
  • Thursday, April 23: 10%

Looking ahead
