Showers and thunderstorms are expected to return this weekend as a cold front moves toward San Antonio area, bringing another round of cooler temperatures early next week. Temperatures across San Antonio and the Hill Country are running nearly 10 degrees cooler than they were Thursday morning, with many neighborhoods waking up to readings in the 40s and lower 50s. Helotes and Kelly Field started the morning at 49 degrees, while Castle Hills was at 52 and San Antonio International Airport hovered around 50. Kerrville was among the coldest spots at 44 degrees, while Hondo checked in at 50.

The bigger changes arrive this weekend, but there's some good news for anyone with outdoor plans. Saturday won't be a complete washout, and much of the day should remain dry. Clouds will begin increasing late tonight, with rain developing west of San Antonio after midnight. A few sprinkles or isolated showers could reach the city and the Interstate 35 corridor Saturday morning, with additional scattered showers possible during the afternoon. Rain chances will increase Saturday night as a cold front approaches South Texas, setting the stage for the weekend's most active weather. Sunday morning through midday will bring the best chance for showers and thunderstorms, with rain chances climbing to around 60%. Some storms could become strong, particularly east of San Antonio toward Gonzales and Lavaca County. Gusty winds, brief heavy downpours and small hail are possible as the front moves through the region. The strongest storms are currently expected to develop east of the city, although the timing and intensity could change as the system gets closer. By Sunday afternoon, the front should be pushing east of the area, allowing rain to taper off. Some sunshine could even break through later in the day, helping temperatures climb into the 70s. That warmup won't last long. Winds will shift out of the north behind the front, bringing another surge of cooler air into San Antonio and surrounding communities. Monday is shaping up to be a noticeably colder day, with cloudy skies, a morning low near 49 degrees and an afternoon high of just 58. Temperatures should recover into the 60s Tuesday and Wednesday as the region begins to dry out. Another chance for rain could develop late next week, but for now, the main weather concern will be the showers and possible thunderstorms moving through South Texas this weekend.
