SAN ANTONIO — The National Weather Service expects temperatures to drop into the 60s next week with a potential cool front coming through the area following some rain.

Meteorologist Jared Allen said in an interview with mySA.com that a large storms system is coming from the west, bringing rain, with likelihoods being highest on Sunday. Following that system will be a cool front that will drop temperatures down just days after the fall season commences.

That cool front will likely make its way into the Alamo City area late Monday or early Tuesday.

Allen said once the cool front makes it to San Antonio, the area will experience temperatures between the upper 50s and lower 80s.

On Thursday, residents should expect a high around 93 and a low around 75.

There’s a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms on Friday, when temperatures will be between 76 and 92.
